This Country review

This Country has, over its three series, been willing to cover issues of more seriousness.

Noah Keate, The Boar, 2nd April 2020

The best in homegrown humour, bar almost none, came to a wistful end. The third series of Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper's This Country has delighted, angered, enthralled and baffled to an inordinate extent, and I'm heart-sorry to see it go. There's a Kurtan and a Kerry living on in every misbegotten, under-endowed Cotswold and Chiltern village, every village in Britain, with their tiny horizons and their big, confused hearts. To have identified that well-intentioned, dumb, thrawn, glorious strata of society is the legacy of the Cooper twins. Also, a beautiful final in-joke.

Top 20 British sitcoms of 21st century: This Country

This Country is not a series that benefits from extensive hype: it is perhaps best discovered for yourself, either on DVD or on the BBC iPlayer. But it is nevertheless, quite brilliant, a wonderful, low key, comic delight.

This Country is one of the most radical TV shows ever

Their pitch-perfect mockumentary began, three series ago, by being hilariously funny. But by the time it ended, it had turned into something quite different.

Farewell to This Country, a modern-day masterpiece

Like so many great British series, This Country is quitting while it's ahead - but Sean O'Grady hopes this is not truly the end of the road for the Mucklowes.
