Critical reception

The first season of I'm Sorry has received a plurality of positive reviews. The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 75% approval rating, with an average rating based on 12 reviews.[32] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 64 out of 100 based on 8 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[33] The series has been often compared to that of Larry David's HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm.[34][35][36][37]

In a negative-then-somewhat-positive review, Sonia Saraiya from

variety.com stated:

do we really need another sitcom about the private life of an indie comedian in Los Angeles?[38]

In a negative-then-somewhat-positive review, Tim Goodman from The Hollywood Reporter stated:

There are a lot of series mining this style so it's not like Savage has done anything wrong by jumping into the fray, but I'm Sorry will need to find its own unique variation soon enough. But early on the show feels like it's already in rhythm, which is a nice surprise.[39]

Production halt

On 25 August 2020,

deadline.com
reported:

"I’m Sorry was two weeks into filming Season 3 when all Hollywood production was shut down in mid-March. All 10 scripts for the new season have been written... ...likely a combination of the impact from COVID-19 and the major changes and belt-tightening at TruTV parent WarnerMedia..."[40][41]
