Back series two review
To judge the new series of Back on the strength of its first episode would be like ruling on a movie on the first 20 minutes. For while the show is certainly funny, the main aim of creator Simon Blackwell is to set the wheels in motion for a captivating psychodrama that will play out over the following five weeks.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st January 2021TV review: Back, Series Two, C4
Now this is more like it. At the risk of sounding like a fogeyish version of the David Mitchell character in Peep Show/real life this is a proper good old grown up comedy. Not really a sitcom at all though judging by the first episode of the second series, but hang around, there is definitely humour to be sniffed out here.

Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 7th January 2021Would I lie to you about the greatest comedy on TV?
It is hard at times like this to hang on to your sense of fun. It can feel, as crisis leads to ray of hope and back again to crisis, as if there is nothing left to laugh about. Thank heavens, then, for Would I Lie To You?, the most consistently funny, consistently joyful television show of the century. Why should I make wild claims for what is, after all, a parlour game, a panel show, a bit of fluff? Because now more than ever we need to seize on to what unites us.
