Critical Reception and Awards [ edit ]

The Village Voice listed Survivor's Remorse as one of the best shows of 2015, saying "If it were on HBO or FX , this glossy but ambitious comedy about an African-American family that moves from Boston 's down-and-out Dorchester neighborhood into the Atlanta sports elite would be the only thing anybody would ever talk about. Instead, Mike O'Malley's saga of a family whose dynamics get compellingly distorted when one of their own makes it big in the NBA ? and the show's sharp and raunchy discussions of race, class, and sexuality ? remains, in its second year, an unfairly buried gem." [42] By the conclusion of its final season, Survivor's Remorse averaged an 82 on Metacritic , indicating "universal acclaim". [43] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it "one of TV's sharpest and most provocative comedies," [44] while Alan Sepinwall praised it as "intensely satisfying and like nothing else on TV." [45] Writing about the show for Paste , in response to its "Photoshoot" episode focusing on colorism, Shannon M. Houston referred to the show as a "powerful beam, highlighting all that TV has yet to touch on, even during this Golden Age of peak TV." [46]

Survivor's Remorse was a GLAAD nominee for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2017 and 2018. The series and its cast were also nominated for and won several NAACP Image Awards : Tichina Arnold for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2016, 2017, and 2018 (winning in 2017); Mike Epps for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2016 (winner), RonReaco Lee for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series in 2016 and 2018 (nominated), Erica Ash for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2017 (nominated), and the series itself nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series 2016?2018. The African-American Film Critics Association awarded Survivor's Remorse "Best Cable/New Media TV Show" in 2015 and named it the 10th best show of 2016. [47]
