Reception
editCritical reviews
editAlmas Khateeb of The Quint wrote "here really are no shades of grey with such shows. I do give it to Voot for coming up with Time Out. It does address issues like ‘urban poverty’, extra-marital affairs, unwilling parenthood, and more. What it doesn't do however, is execute them with any reality."[5]
Rahul Desai from Film Companion said "Time Out is pretentious and silly because it tries to appear confident about its decorated sentiments and sanitized sinning. It's important someone like Tahir Raj Bhasin realises that he can be better than this. It's essential that the makers don't think they can continue creating myopic Riverdale worlds out of real-life experiences."
A reviewer for The Opinionated Indian reviewed the show more positively "Romcom aficionados will love this show. The show can be enjoyed by the Netflix drama loving audience as well. Do not watch it expecting to get an out of this world experience. It is a simple story, made complex by the life choices of the lead pair. It does have a message for all urban married couples, who have started off on their journey together."[6]
