Eddie and Joy Stark have been married for what seems like forever -- and they've got the scars to prove it. Naturally, cynical high school history teacher Eddie thinks it is his manly duty to offer "sage" advice to newly married men. But Eddie's little secret is that he loves Joy more than anything; and however sarcastic Joy herself appears, she loves Eddie right back.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite the occasional giggle, 'Til Death is too inert and derivative to be remarkable, borrowing a bit too much from ancient sitcom tropes.

John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture 'Til Death recycles every ectoplasmic clich in the sitcom parallel universe... Jan 17, 2018 Full Review Virginia Heffernan New York Times There's an easygoing red-state pleasantness to it too, a celebration of timeless and consoling suburban inertia. Sep 7, 2006 Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer Good for curling up next to the spouse on the couch for a post-dinner giggle. Sep 7, 2006 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media It has its share of sexual innuendo and sarcastic insults, as well as some other questionable language. But in between the arguments, it's clear that Eddie and Joy love each other as much as Jeff and Steph do, albeit differently. Rated: 3/5 Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The pilot plot - Jeff wants a pool table in the dining room, Steph agrees, Eddie says it'll never happen, Jeff wants to prove him wrong - follows a well-worn path of sitcoms traceable back to when cavemen acted them out with large dinosaur bones as props. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Robert P. Laurence San Diego Union-Tribune Thanks to the comically dour presence of Garrett, who turns grumpiness and pessimism into an art form, and Fisher playing Alice Kramden to his blustery Ralph, 'Til Death could turn out to be something worth watching. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
