This sitcom is a critical and audience favorite, scoring exceptionally well on Rotten Tomatoes (94% Tomatometer, 95% Popcornmeter). It’s genuinely funny and lighthearted, but also manages to be surprisingly heartwarming. Featuring fantastic performances from Hank Azaria, known from The Simpsons, and Amanda Peet (Your Friends and Neighbors, Saving Silverman, Togetherness), Netflix has added a truly enjoyable show to its lineup—all four seasons are ideal for watching back-to-back.
The show Brockmire, featuring Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet, follows Jim Brockmire, a major league baseball announcer whose life falls apart when he learns about his wife’s affairs. This leads to a public on-air breakdown and a ten-year break from his career. Hoping to rebuild his life and reputation, Brockmire returns to announcing, taking a job with the minor league Morristown Frackers in a small, rundown town. His arrival stirs up complex emotions in Julia James, the team’s tough and often-drinking owner, and Charles, the intern who is both intimidated and motivated by Brockmire.
Brockmire Earned Its Critically Acclaimed Status
Joyce Slaton from Common Sense Media described the series as a surprisingly heartwarming mix of scandalous and shocking moments. She noted that it captures a relatable, awful experience – a single, embarrassing moment magnified for everyone to see, explaining Brockmire’s self-destructive behavior. She’s optimistic that the show will remain entertaining whether he’s succeeding or failing. Sonia Saraiya of Variety observed that the show blends elements of a classic sports underdog story and a heartwarming small-town romance, but ultimately stands out as a strong, character-focused comedy with a uniquely honest and often uncomfortable humor.
Don’t let the comedy fool you – Brockmire is surprisingly moving and relatable. The show explores vulnerable moments with strong performances from the entire cast, making it a truly compelling watch. You won’t want to miss it.
