The Hollywood Reporter

Trying best succeeds when it confronts the class problem of Nikki and Jason’s new endeavor. Unlike the bougie, affluent wannabe parents they meet in their adoption training classes, they both feel stuck in roles that were more suited for the beginning of their careers than the middle.

IndieWire

Rafe Spall and Esther Smith play a couple looking to add to their family in a show that earns its high points by not ignoring the trickier sides of a longterm relationship.

Ready Steady Cut

Trying feels very human but also stereotypically British which is where the comedy shines through with a sensitive subject matter — it may be one of the best comedies out this year.

ShowbizJunkies

Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso snagged all the awards attention following its first season. I’d argue the streaming service’s Trying, created by Andy Wolton, is just as worthy of attention. It’s a true must-see comedy that ensnares you with its smart humor and irresistible charm.

IMDB

The episodes are like eating peanuts. I like both leads for their gentle silliness which is also clever.

Common Sense Media

This dramedy wins points for its unique focus on the many difficulties of the adoption process and its actors' chemistry, but it strains too hard to be charming to make it there most of the time.

This simply makes me happy beyond the story line or acting, you get to see London before the lockdown when it was all normal...

Rotten Tomatoes

Leads Rafe Spall and Esther Smith make light work of heavy themes in Trying, a poignant comedy that is as hilarious as it is honest about the realities of infertility.
