The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Melanie McFarland Salon.com Follows the comic beats and curves of a classic broadcast sitcom while taking advantage of its Prime Video/Freevee platform by allowing its characters to curse. If you were in this family’s shoes, you’d drop a few swear words too. Oct 18, 2024 Full Review The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times A funny, splendid, oddball new series from Vijal Patel, whose own family experience it reflects. Oct 18, 2024 Full Review The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh strikes a perfect balance between humour and emotion, allowing it to tackle a serious theme while keeping the audience engaged. Rated: 4/5 Nov 4, 2024 Full Review The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joly Herman Common Sense Media An astute, and sometimes off-color portrait of a highly educated Indian family thrust into a blue-collar suburb, this show traffics in comic stereotypes, to varied success. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Troy Ribeiro Free Press Journal (India) This series attempts to deliver a quirky take on immigrant life with a promise of comedy, cultural clash, and a sprinkle of immigrant nostalgia. Unfortunately, it barely holds up, teetering between exaggerated stereotypes and occasionally brilliant humour Rated: 2.5 Oct 24, 2024 Full Review The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Starting slowly, it peaked with the middle three episodes and then proceeded to crash and burn when plausibility went off the rails. The cast is outstanding so it’s a pity that the tone and premise didn’t sustain. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Harsh S Unfunny ,corny waste of time Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Kay P Hollywood is truly imploding from within with stupid effing stereotypes and unoriginal and non funny "comedies." Indians can't tell any other story but them being FOBs? Just because the creator has worked on another mediocre story during a time where Hollywood hates good content, doesn't mean he should get the green light to create whatever other crap he can think of. Ughh this is so bad and cringe! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Daniel D This programme reminds me of an Indian version of the Goldbergs, except it’s less funny and it would be much better if the comedians (Sindhu Vee) wrote the scripts themselves. After all, comedy is what Sindhu Vee writes. Vijay Patel makes low grade TV. Average. Patels previous efforts are hollow without any substance; just there and giving nothing to the viewer. Usually fun for the first 3 episodes before a slow and steady decline creeps in and you realise they are all essentially the same and it becomes tedious. I absolutely love Sindhu Vee doing stand up comedy but this programme is mediocre, bland and stereotypical. There is nothing new here and it feels like lots of averaging TV that has come before has been thrown in to a pot to make a cheap and easy programme. This happened to Gina Vashere with her 'Bob Loves Abishola' programme. I loved her stand up too but them she fell head over heels for Hollywood and American TV and now her career is all but dead. Her programme certainly is.If you like to watch Sindhu Vee - watch this programme. Without Sindhu Vee this programme is dead on arrival. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Jdawg W What a fun refreshing show! Even my 18 year likes it. He doesn’t like anything. 😂 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Steel L Its a pity they had to put so many sexual "jokes" Its like a horny teenager wrote it. Its too bad because the actors are great and deserve better. Some of the writing is funny but the cosntant idiotic sex references make it unwatchable. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Alessandro G It starts funny for three episodes, it becomes unnecessarily intricate with bursts of fun, it goes somehow off-rail in the last two episodes, to then end on a cliff that was rather disappointing. Good acting, mediocre storytelling Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
