Critics Consensus

Ali Wong emerges a mother still perturbed in Hard Knock Wife, a hilariously honest hour of comedy that highlights the joys and oh boys of motherhood with fearless energy and just the right amount of squirmy detail.

Hard Knock Wife's most inspired moments come from Wong's ability to make the natural sound almost alien, and sometimes even downright terrifying.

Her third special Don Wong is the best but this one is really great too.

Netflix paid this woman real money to be unfunny two years ago. Guess what? She's still not funny, at all, ever, even remotely.

Really terrible. Scurrilous it's the word. And a segment about body-shaming? Really? In 2018? We're better than that. I had to force myself to finish it.
