I'm Sorry.

I like it over all but Andrea can be a bit tiring. She is extremely dominating. She takes all the screen time, all the jokes and talks constantly. All the other characters are basically just back drops for her to bounce her jokes and awkward comments off of. It's a shame because the characters are great you just don't get to hear them. It's an untapped resource that could balance it out.

I am picky with my comedy and sitcomes. I absolutely love this one. The dynamic between all the characters is great. They play off of each other well. I feel the show is relatable and pushes boundaries just the right amount. There are even a few subtle teachable moments. I find this show extremely funny.

Binged this show in 2 nights with my wife, and we laughed the whole time!

Andrea (played by Andrea Savage) is a hilariously crass, honest, well intentioned, fast-talking mom who constantly says what she's thinking (like Jane Lynch or Vince Vaughn). Sometimes it works out well for her, and other times it just makes things worse-which only intensifies as she tries to dig herself out of awkward situations that she creates for herself because she keeps talking. Her husband, Mike (Tom Everett Scott), is brilliant with his side glances and witty remarks as they banter back and forth. Their chemistry is on point. In fact, the whole cast fits rather seemlessly into the constant ribbing and shenanigans, especially her best friend and co-writer, Kyle (Jason Mantzoukas).

The only reason this is a 9 is because some of their 5 year old daughter's lines feel forced. But, she always sets Andrea down a path of raw, honest parenting that's sometimes hard to watch in a hilarious way!

I usually don't like comedies with awkward situations and misunderstandings (basically I cannot identify with such comedic characters) but this new comedy with stand-up comedian Andrea Savage is rather entertaining.

The setup is far from original, the suburban wife and mom, with the understanding, supporting husband and the curious kid, but the "feel" is different from other comedies, let's say "American Housewife" (which is also a good comedy for its own sake).

The script is well written for its genre, although the "do or say something awkward in front of other people who then staring at you with contempt and disapproval" pattern might get old really soon.

Overall: Check it out if you like jokes derived from uncomfortable situations.

I created an account just to post this review for I'm Sorry. What a terrific new comedy, A+ TruTV.

I'm sorry has the feel of another show I used to enjoy, The League, however I'd have to say I'm Sorry is even funnier. The cast is terrific and the lead, Andrea, is relatable and along with her friend Kyle, gut busting funny. The dialogue is top notch. Terrific new show!
