“It seems almost impossible to find fault in Morris and Sublett’s project as they astutely bring together a series of exciting music and hilarious dialogue, among other brilliant aspects...if i’m alive next week is the pickup I needed to start my day and propel me forward as I take on new tasks and struggles...This may be an overused cliche, but it’s so true of this series: there is nothing quite like it out there.”
“As embodied by the wickedly grand Joyce Van Patten, If I’m Alive‘s matriarchal menace Marjorie never oversteps the boundaries into overt comedic lunacy, instead gently toeing the line between a woman who knows how she’s being treated and how she should be.......the mixture of dry wit and subtle situational humour suggest an extended, more traditional series would serve these characters well. I would certainly tune in each week.”
“if i’m alive next week… is fantastic.”
