Mismatched friends John and Jeffrey are about as different as the come; John is an impulsive surgeon who's been divorced three times, and Jeffrey is a widower and judge who overthinks everything. The one thing the pair does agree on is that they only have "20 good years" left to live - so both men vow to live each day as if it's their last.

Robert Bianco USA Today Everything about the show seems designed to misuse its stars and erase our memories of the better work they've done. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Lithgow needs a strict, low-cal diet after all this scenery-chewing. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post It delivers the goods, and in a rowdy, traditionalist way that has become shockingly scarce on the tube. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Larry Bonko The Virginian-Pilot Call it "Golden Guys." Call it a bore. After four or five minutes of Lithgow's bluster and Tambor's stuffiness, you'll be reaching for the remote. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Kristin Veitch E! Online Sadly, something's off in the mathematical equation of Twenty Good Years, and all scientific calculators point to the crummy writing. Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media While John and Jeff's plans and projects are sometimes over the top, overall, Twenty Good Years presents a positive message about friendship, love, and living life to the fullest.
