CriticsBack in Time for Birmingham; How to Hire a Hitman
“The Sharmas’ likeability helped to make this an enjoyable watch”

CriticsSuspect; McDonald & Dodds
“As telly two-handers so often are, it is extremely stagey and seems probable to vary in quality depending on who the weekly guest star is”

CriticsThe Lazarus Project
“It is as gripping, fun and stylish as the acclaimed Giri/Haji, without quite its narrative innovation”

“If you like thinly disguised adverts for something you probably can’t afford, then I suppose The Savoy was entertaining enough”
-
CriticsMiss Scarlet and the Duke; Lucy Worsley Investigates; Halftime; Elephant Hospital
“This felt more like TV to zone out to, to enter a glazed, meditative state, semi-registering the case of the week at hand”
-

“It is a more than worthy addition to the thankfully growing canon of television exploring the black British experience”

-
