"The Comeback" tells the story of a B-list sitcom star so desperate to revive her career that she agrees to star in a reality television show called, appropriately enough, "The Comeback." Cameras follow Valerie Cherish's every move as she angles to keep her head above the Hollywood fray, even as she's woefully out of touch with modern show business. And in the madness that is network television, there is nothing braver than a 40-year-old ingenue who's not quite ready to give up the spotlight.

Peter Travers The Travers Take 1d
3.5/4
You’ll never find a more hilarious prophet of AI doom than Lisa Kudrow. Her comic timing is a thing of beauty and sometimes terror and her third and final season is unmissable Go to Full Review Jackson McHenry New York Magazine/Vulture 1d
For its first two seasons, the show was a Cassandra, anticipating the future with dread. Now, having seen that future come to pass, Valerie Cherish looks back and finds, somehow, a lot to love in what she has endured. Go to Full Review Jen Chaney RogerEbert.com 3d
In many ways, 'The Comeback’ comes across as both a love letter to and a eulogy for the television comedy. Go to Full Review Cher Thompson Screen Rant 13h
9/10
Kudrow, in her element throughout this season, is a tour de force in her final outing as the beloved star, reminding us that at the end of the day, Valerie Cherish has never really needed a comeback: she's been here all along. Go to Full Review Jean Henegan Pop Culture Maniacs 16h
4.8/5
If you’ve been a fan these last twenty years, you’ll love season three. As I said, Lisa Kudrow is just extraordinary. And, you know what? So is Valerie Cherish. Go to Full Review James Kleinmann The Queer Review 1d
