David Bianculli NPR 3d
This Is a Gardening Show is loaded with botched takes, tossaway asides and truly terrible jokes, even knock-knock jokes. Host Galifianakis clearly has fun, and so do his guests. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 3d
4/5
As a comic, Galifianakis can exude loopy naivete or snippy disdain, and he smartly curates both here. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine May 1
It’s an easy, lighthearted watch. But there’s also an earnest impetus behind the project. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Apr 28
I’m not sure what I was expecting from Zach Galifianakis’s new Netflix series, This Is a Gardening Show, but I found the whole thing absolutely delightful -- and not quite what anyone might have expected. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media Apr 28
3/5
Titles are often deceiving--this is less a gardening show than a series of lightly comic bits featuring the very charismatic Zach Galifianakis. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Apr 24
While This Is A Gardening Show has some degree of Zach Galifianakis’ brand of awkward comedy, it doesn’t overwhelm his enthusiasm for the subject and how much that enthusiasm informs each episode. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Justin B. @TOPDOM 6h Put on your sunscreen, grab a cold beverage, and float down this Lazy-River/gateway-drug of a show. Mellow, relaxing and a good way to calm down at the end of a long day. You’re not in any real danger of learning useful information. The goal of the show is just to get us hooked on a vibe so we can seek out more useful information and start our own garden. I’m onto you Zach and I love it. See more Haber D. @Haberdasher May 3 A funny, easy watch. Educational too. I loved Murray the corn farmer. See more Leo W @LeoTW May 1 If you need to complain about the show than basically you dislike kids, humor, and gardening. See more Leonard C. @LeonardC May 1 What was that? Retread of past bits….. kids say the strangest things meets a farm…… See more Gingernut B @Gingernut Apr 29 The only problem with this series is it’s so short! As a gardener I can see there are some educational gold nuggets scattered amongst the silliness. I’m leaving it a week then watching the whole thing again. Love it. See more Jerry S @RT23579304 Apr 29 Boring, pretentious, and not funny for sure. I would rather watch Discovery or NatGeo. See more Read all reviews
