Amy Amatangelo Tellyvisions Series creator, executive producer, and writer Andy Wolton’s ability to hone in on universal parenting moments and find the inherent humor is the true genius of Trying. Jul 26, 2025 Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial It constantly exposes family and human conflicts, but it always faces them with optimism, hope, and through effort, perseverance, family, and love. One of those stories that ends with a smile. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess Trying is a show that can pick the viewer up after a long hard day, or that could always be a fun series to go back and re-watch because of its upbeat style. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut Apple TV+ has one of the best on-screen British couples in recent times. Rated: 4/5 Jun 23, 2024 Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) For my taste, Trying meanders too often into the saccharine zone, but it also has heart, charm and a cracking ensemble. Rated: 3/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Rafe Spall and Esther Smith share amazing chemistry not only with each other, but with the extended cast. With relatable characters and charming scenarios, Trying doesn’t have to try and win our hearts, it did that from episode one. Rated: 4.5/5 May 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Rob T Great season! I loved the character builds in seasons 1-3 and 4 helps pay it all off. The humor, the heart, the storylines all make for a feel good, fun night of TV. Glad to see it will be coming back for a season 5. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Erin F Seasons 1-3 were amazing — really heartwarming and smart. I loved this show. Season 4 falls flat — the characters have become increasingly unlikeable, and the storylines in 4 are just silly and not compelling. I wish they would bring back the heart and intelligence of Seasons 1-3 in Season 5, and we can just forget about Season 4. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Dylan H This show is amazing! All of the seasons, Apple please renew for season 5! This show gives a lot of feel good Ted Lasso like show vibes! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Eric N Season 4 of Trying took a big leap forward chronologically - and it was hard to know if that gamble would pay off. It turns out that the decision was a smart one, as it allowed new story arcs to develop for all the characters. Trying is such an underrated, unheralded, emotional and heartwarming show that it's truly a shame more people haven't discovered it. However, for those of us who watch Apple TV+ because they enjoy programs that aren't low budget, slapdash, cookie cutter retreads, Trying is just one more show that makes us thankful this streamer exists. I love this show and, with the numerous open-ended storylines that are left to explore in Season 4, I truly hope that Apple TV+ announces a renewal for Season 5. A stellar show like Trying deserves to live on! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Ettore Maria D One of the most beautiful series of recent times. It touches the heart with always interesting and current topics. The couple of protagonists is exceptional and credible like few others. Absolutely to see!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Chloe N It’s my favourite tv series ever, I’ve rewatched it countless times. It’s so clever, heartwarming and joyful! I just finished episode 8, we need a 5th season, that cliffhanger was 10/10 though! Hope there isn’t such a long wait again 🤞🏻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
