Entertainment Weekly
Ken Tucker
I said Outsourced was careful -- too careful, probably, to be very funny... I liked Rizwan Manji as Rajiv... I also thought Diedrich Bader did his usual excellent job.
Salon.com
Riddhi Shah
Filled with simplistic clichés, iffy writing, and ignorance.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Jonathan Storm
Careful viewing reveals that American customs bear the brunt of most of the gentle humor of this series that should fit seamlessly into NBC's goofballs-at-the-office (or in-the-classroom) Thursday-night sitcom block.
NPR
Marc Hirsh
It's mesmerizing in an utter-trainwreck sort of way. There's not one thing about it that works, and yet, there it is, chugging along, with so many people involved in keeping it moving in the hopes that eventually something will spark.
The Hollywood Reporter
Erik Pedersen
For those with the grit to get past, or over, the premise and watch without prejudice, Outsourced is a chance to grin in the face of modern economic realities while having fun with the U.S.-India culture crash.
Wall Street Journal
Dorothy Rabinowitz
It's reliable entertainment, and now and again there's something more.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Willa Paskin
For the show to be funny, less uncomfortable, and all around better it will have to be less concerned about alienating its American audiences -- we actually don't have a problem identifying with Indian people if they're well-drawn characters.
AV Club
Myles McNutt
Outsourced doesn't try enough to be funny, and isn't funny enough to get away with not trying, which makes it just like a whole host of other failed comedies to come and go in recent years.
AV Club
Emily St. James
If it had to be a nasty, borderline xenophobic show, couldn't it have at least come up with some better, more original jokes?
IndieWire
Matt Dentler
The sitcom is dreadful, and at times, borderline racist. All of that aside, I cannot imagine a world where the premise sustains itself for more than one season.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Nussbaum
The timing is ideal for an international sitcom that messes with intra-ethnic tension, but Outsourced feels more like a xenophobic sketch from 1979, one that assumes that viewers find Indian food scary and Indian names yucky.
New York Times
Alessandra Stanley
Outsourced could be perfectly awful. The fact that it's neither embarrassing nor deeply offensive -- once it gets rolling, the show is actually quite charming -- is a credit to the cast and the writers.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
It is no closer to reality than any of its Thursday night neighbors, but it has a top-flight cast, characters who show you who they are rather than telling you, smart writing, sure rhythms and a cheerful attitude.
Newsweek
Joshua Alston
... Outsourced isn't remotely spicy, or even terribly funny. It's got nowhere near as many laughs as what's arguably the most racist show on television.
Newsday
Diane Werts
Though American tastes are mocked here, too, laughing at your own group doesn't necessarily excuse laughing at others.
New York Daily News
David Hinckley
Not offensive. Just not particularly fresh or compelling.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
It's just a little novelty.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
Just depressing. Nothing to see here - and hopefully not for long.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
Outsourced is the comedy that really let me down this season-the show that could have shown up the knee-jerk naysayers by pulling off its Kick-Me sign of a premise.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
For now, mark it down as a show worth watching.
