A new Paramount+ comedy series has debuted with an exceptional Rotten Tomatoes score.
Since launching in 2021, Paramount+ has built an impressive lineup of hit television series, largely thanks to Taylor Sheridan’s empire, including Mayor of Kingstown (2021–), Tulsa King (2022–), Lioness (2023–), and Landman (2024–). Add Yellowjackets (2021–), Dexter: Resurrection (2025–), MobLand (2025–), and more to the mix, and the streaming service certainly provides a mountain of entertainment. Comedy series, however, have been a noticeably smaller piece of the Paramount+ puzzle, something its newest series could finally change.
On the day of its Paramount+ release on November 6, It Gets Worse has debuted with a 90% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The show only has 10 reviews at the time of writing, so its score could change as more are published. With fewer than 50 ratings from users, it does not yet have an audience score.
Produced by A24, It Gets Worse was released on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom and Crave in Canada on October 22, followed by Paramount+ as a Showtime original in the United States on November 22. The streamer has also acquired the series for release in Latin America, Brazil, and Italy.

Overall, critics largely agree that It Gets Worse is a genuinely funny, crude, and sharp-edged comedy with plenty of outrageous moments and a talented cast. But beneath the laughs, though, the series also explores issues such as fading youth, drifting friendships, and the messy transition into adulthood.
The show’s generational humor gives it plenty of personality, even if some reviewers find the character development and celebrity cameos underwhelming. Overall, It Gets Worse is leaving a strong impression on critics.
