Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture The rare reboot that honors its source material while doing something all its own that is edifying without being too didactic or serious. Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club For roughly half its run, The Wonder Years was a genuinely terrific show. Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Lynne Heffley Los Angeles Times It's a refreshingly gutsy half-hour, a look back at how things were--and weren't. Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Arthur Unger Christian Science Monitor Viewers are in for a pleasant surprise. Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Jeff Jarvis People Magazine The Wonder Years is fresh, imaginative and intelligent-but most of all, it is true, all true. It is a show about my life. Rated: A+ Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Bonnie Stiernberg Paste Magazine The tiny childhood moments that stick with us are treated with the respect they deserve. Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
