B Positive: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Michael Starr New York Post It's almost a given by now that any Chuck Lorre sitcom will be cleverly cast and sharply written, with snappy one-liners offset by a smattering of heartfelt sincerity. Nov 11, 2020 Full Review B Positive: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brian Lowry CNN.com Thanks to its stars, B Positive earns mildly favorable scores at the outset, even if the title, as sitcom grades go, would be a bit too positive. Nov 6, 2020 Full Review B Positive: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Caroline Framke Variety In Ashford's hands, even Gina's most basic lines get a smart delivery, and she allows just enough genuine vulnerability peek through that the character becomes the show's most intriguing by a mile. Nov 6, 2020 Full Review B Positive: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Natalia Trzenko La Nación (Argentina) Middleditch's (Silicon Valley) ability for physical comedy and renowned Broadway actress Ashford's immense talent of helps a lot. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 13, 2022 Full Review B Positive: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut B Positive has an interesting enough hook to be worth returning to for now, but it's lacking any big laughs or genuinely new ideas. Rated: 2.5/5 May 11, 2021 Full Review B Positive: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Aaron Barnhart Primetimer Casting is key, and Annaleigh Ashford nails it as Gina, which one would expect from the Tony Award winner for her portrayal of Essie in You Can't Take It With You.

Audience Member I liked the second season but not as much as the first season. I also do not like the new intro song. I liked the first season intro much better. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I find this show to be unwatchable. Overacted and always going for the cheap laughs- the cast deserves better! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The lead actress voice is so appalling I expect my mirrors and glass windows to break.Amazing list of back up actors for such a lousy pair of leads.

(Ahh, ahh,)But if you're feelin' like crap,It's time to face the facts.It's your prerogative, (yoooour prerogative,)To be positive."With such a wonderful theme song, how can one not enjoy the show?
