Overview

Hudson Valley Ballers follows two comedy writers who leave their city jobs to run a bed and breakfast in the rural Hudson Valley.[2]

Critical reception

Bustle wrote "Perhaps the best piece of advice for watching Hudson Valley Ballers is to just, you know, "go with it." If you do, I promise... you'll have a great time."[3]

The Guardian said "The show stars Pell and Anderson as comedy writers who leave their high-stress jobs for a more low-key life in the country as bed-and-breakfast owners. What happens is anything but laid-back, with a stream of strange guests (think an intense Natasha Lyonne demanding wine), stranger love interests (Paul Rudd as a muralist for Olive Garden who does voiceovers for porn), and household horrors (did that doll just move?) interrupting their country idyll."[2]

USA Today wrote "Though you may not recognize Paula Pell's name, there's a good chance she has made you laugh so hard it hurts. Pell is a longtime writer for Saturday Night Live who has also contributed her comedic talents to Bridesmaids and 30 Rock. This week she and fellow SNL writer James Anderson launched a very funny web series, Hudson Valley Ballers, which features appearances by Paul Rudd and Kate McKinnon."[4]
