	Media	Author	Review
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: The show's return is as entertaining as it is enlightening (...) [It] is exactly the kind of Season 2 every show should strive for"
		Alexis Nedd Mashable	"[2nd Season Review]: It might seem hyperbolic to describe 'Kidding' as TV’s most brilliant comedy, but the evidence is abundant in every single episode of Season 2."
		Megan Vick TV Guide	"[2nd Season Review]: If 'Kidding' ends with Season 2, it would feel like a satisfying end for Jeff's story, but I genuinely hope it's not the end (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nick Harley Den of Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: [Carrey's] raw-nerve performance is matched by the rest of the talented cast and ultimately enhanced by the show’s off-beat sense of humor and use of creative magical realism (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald	"[2nd Season Review]: It's deeply surreal and poignant television"
		Caroline Framke Variety	"Sometimes, it even succeeds. But more often than not, 'Kidding' feels caught between too many tones and ideas to become quite as distinctive as it could be."
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"Jim Carrey does his best work in years (...) It’s a compelling story about the beauty, and difficulty, of giving your pain a name"
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Hilarious, sad, inventive and a real joy (...) [It] is Showtime's best and most binge-worthy series in a long time."
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"The movie star makes a triumphant return to TV with a moving, lived-in performance that holds this otherwise uneven new series together (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] is inventive, incisive, and obsessed with death (...) Carrey’s committed turn as Jeff Pickles (...) is immediately convincing and endearing."
		Troy Patterson The New Yorker	"It isn’t necessarily satisfying, on the level of human psychology, to read this patriarch as a puppet master, but it’s got potential as a parable."
		Erik Adams AV Club	"Carrey isn’t showing us anything we haven’t seen before (...) There is ambition, talent, and imagination to spare here"
