Reception[]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a 96% approval rating with an average rating of 7.55 out of 10, based on 24 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "A gloriously absurd journey into the mind of Tim Robinson, I Think You Should Leave's bazaar of surreal skits breathes new life into the world of TV sketch-comedy."[6] On Metacritic, the series has an 86 out of 100 rating from 13 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim."[7]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season holds a 100% approval rating with an average rating of 8.73 out of 10, based on 23 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "A triumph of sketch comedy, I Think You Should Leave's sophomore season dives deeper into Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin's strange minds with manically delightful results."[8]

On IndieWire, Ben Travers described the series as "demented" and "outlandish", but ultimately "pretty great".[9] Fran Hoepfner of Vulture called the show "comedy perfection", writing that it is "silly, grotesque, loud, and absurd. What more could you want, really?"[10] In a less positive review, Joel Keller wrote in Decider that the series was "more miss than hit".[11]

In April 2021, Wired contributing editor Peter Rubin wrote that he had become obsessed with I Think You Should Leave, having watched the whole first season at least 100 times. He wrote that the show's sketches tend to revolve around "a character who is gloriously, spectacularly wrong—yet refuses to budge, lest they be humiliated by copping to their own wrongness", and that thus the show "isn't just a distillation of our personal insecurities, it's a condemnation of facade. It's an antidote, in other words, to the internet itself."[12]
