Kelsey Wallace Bitch Media We've seen this before and it wasn't funny that time either. Jan 7, 2021 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club It's shaggy, yes, but it's also sly and surprisingly funny when you give yourself over to it. Jun 9, 2020 Full Review Linda Stasi New York Post With funnier material, they [the actors] could really make this thing work. Rated: 2/4 Feb 8, 2011 Full Review Eric Goldman IGN Movies It's nothing amazing, but it's a decent comfort food type series that gets a lot of mileage from the cast and some increasingly amusing scenarios. Rated: 7/10 Jun 9, 2020 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The show has some silly moments, but it also features good writing and well-timed wit. Rated: 3/5 Jun 9, 2020 Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News The formula may be hokey, but "Traffic Light's" execution of it is charming, and funny in a way that doesn't seem to be trying too hard.

Audience Member Aside from a dip in quality from episodes 7-10, this is a near perfect show, and in my top 10 shows of all time! I don't need to, but here it is. Outstanding performances all around, outstanding writing that's funny and relatable, with great characters and comedic timing, the direction and cinematography are mostly spot on, and the score is fantastic! I won't get into my negatives, but I will say they're mostly contained to that four episode dip. Sucks this was cancelled. Also sucks they didn't do a better ending for this, I was expecting some more closure, just a little bit. Especially with the hint that was dropped in episode 12. Well now I understand the 50% user! Only three people have reviewed? How has no one else reviewed?! I even saw on IMDb that they're not even at 2,000 ratings yet! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
