By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 05 Dec 2013

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 02 Dec 2013

Why would we want to watch a chronicle of Joe's agonies, and the agonies he gets to inflict on others? Passing it up would be the best revenge…

By Diva Velez (291) for TheDivaReview.com (290) on 30 Nov 2013

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 29 Nov 2013
