Kara O'Neill, The Mirror, 22nd December 2014... In Deep, written by Tom Joseph and Thomas Eccleshare, whose MacGuffin comprised a message concealed in a tampon in the intimate parts of a female corpse. What redeemed it, though, was its unpredictability and crazy energy as it told the story of two hopeless inner-city policemen -- Ashley Walters and Adam Deacon -- yearning for excitement in their routine lives and suddenly (à la The Wrong Mans) getting far, far too much of it.
It ended on a cliffhanger with our two heroes bound in gaffer tape, about to be murdered by a crazed homosexual serial killer. That's the way to do your showreels: leave commissioning editors gagging to know what happens next.
James Delingpole, The Spectator, 26th July 2014Comedy Feeds 2014
I've made it no secret on here that I'm a big fan of Ashley Walters (Top Boy) and Adam Deacon (Kidulthood, Adulthood, Anuvahood, Babylon) so when I saw that the two of them were in a comedy together, I couldn't wait to see it. And luckily, when I did. it didn't disappoint. In Deep is easily my favourite out of all the pilots, and what I love is that before you're able to jump to the conclusion that In Deep sounds a bit like the title of a porn film, they do that for you in the opening scene - "Mate, it sounds like a porno. Cut the bullshit. This is about us. Two bored constables going nowhere. And it started in a Hyundai..."
