“I reached the finale and was surprised at how much I wanted to see more from a character I initially thought couldn’t sustain more than five minutes.” ~ Daniel Fienberg, The Hollywood Reporter
“Brockmire is the story of how Brockmire the man begins to try to make peace with himself; it’s one part sports inspiration story, another part Lifetime movie about finding love in a small town, but mostly it’s an assured, character-driven comedy . . . ” ~ Sonia saraiya, Variety
