The Critic (Seasons 1–2)

The Critic (1994) is an American animated comedy series you can watch online on iFILM — all episodes from its run on ABC and later Comedy Central. John Lovitz voices Jay Sherman, a pompous New York film critic whose verdict on nearly every movie he reviews is a flat "It stinks!"

Each episode skewers a different batch of real and fictional films through parody clips, while Jay's off-screen life supplies the B-plot: a tyrannical media-mogul boss, an eccentric adoptive family, and a romantic life that never quite comes together. Twenty-three episodes across two seasons — brief, but the joke density is high. Created by Al Jean and Mike Reiss, two writers who also worked on early seasons of The Simpsons, the show has a similar satirical edge. Stream all episodes of The Critic online on iFILM.
