Tom's Guide Verdict: “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” season 1
- Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
- Verdict: “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” captures the same quick-witted style of previous shows from producers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, including “30 Rock.” Tracy Morgan leads a talented cast who bring to life characters that are both silly and endearing, with plenty of laughs in the 10-episode first season.
- Premiere date/time: Mondays at 8:30 p.m. on NBC starting Feb. 23, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock
- Where to watch: Stream episodes weekly on Peacock
Within a minute or two of the first episode, it’s clear that the new NBC sitcom “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” is following in the tradition of past shows from producers and longtime collaborators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. Reggie Dinkins (Tracy Morgan), a onetime NFL star who was ousted from the league after a gambling scandal, is seen during his glory days endorsing something called the McDonald’s Veal Platter. That kind of absurdist take on pop culture and consumerism is a hallmark of every series that Fey and Carlock have worked on since they first teamed up on “30 Rock.”
