"In Limbo has the pace and tone of a sitcom, but it packs an emotional punch", states Debi Enker of the Sydney Morning Herald, giving the series premier a 4/5 star rating. "It's a serious study wrapped in bright and shiny packaging." Highlighting In Limbo's more serious themes Enker concludes, "They also underline the series' assertation that men need to talk more - to each other, to their partners, to family and friends, and possibly also to health professionals - about their doubts and fears and difficulties, and not just about their pop-culture preferences." [5]
"In Limbo entertains, engages and moves, potently so, but it's even more committed to being meaningful", wrote Sarah Ward of Concrete Playground. "It's an other worldly sitcom with an odd couple at its centre, their bond transcending life and death, and it isn't afraid of having a sense of humour". [6]
