GameFace review
Roisin Conaty serves up sexual frankness and women-behaving-badly comedy.
Peter Crawley, The Irish Times, 18th July 2019As a second season of Roisin Conaty's gawky, impeccably written comedy begins, lonely Marcella bags a date with her dreamy driving instructor; endures more life-coaching sessions with bonkers therapist Karl; and winds up getting called "Prankie Boyle". Cheeky, tender, filthy fun.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 17th July 2019Review: GameFace, C4
Main female character with a chaotic life, dishy enigmatic male, boozy friends, embarrassing sexual scenarios, therapy sessions...it's impossible to write about Roisin Conaty's GameFace without at least noting some of the similarities with Fleabag.
