Man Down, Channel 4, review: "Surrealist fun"
Comedian Greg Davies may have got a much later career start than Jack Whitehall but like him, seems to be making the most of his moment in the sun playing over-the-top idiots, although his are rather lower down the social scale.
Bernadette McNulty, i Newspaper, 25th October 2017TV review: Man Down, C4
Greg Davies returns for a fourth series of Man Down and I sense a bit of a theme emerging. He has previously had a run-in with a turkey and in the first episode of the new run of this tragic, anarchic sitcom he has an oversized chicken thrown at him. But that is just a small indignity compared to some of his other issues in this opening instalment.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th October 2017GameFace review
Ultimately, your enjoyment of GameFace will hinge on whether you empathise with Marcella's irresponsible, self-involved persona.
Natalie Golding, Telly Binge, 16th October 2017GameFace, which had its pilot in 2014, has been commissioned as a series, which is good news for writer and star Roisin Conaty and for us. Oh, it's not something we've not seen before. Shambolic thirtysomething singleton drinks too much, eats too much cake, reads self-help books - it's more scatological than Miranda, less whimperingly funny than Fleabag, but firmly in that part of the spectrum. Yet Conaty still has the ability to pull something truly leftfield from nowhere, such as the nice, if overdone, gag about the guy who had, somehow, never seen Friends. Immensely likable, surprisingly moreish.
Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 15th October 2017GameFace, a tragicomic portrait of a life unravelled
The English standup has created a big-hearted comedy that manages to make depression and loneliness funny.

Sitcom GameFace originally began as a pilot back in 2014 and has only just now been given a full series on E4.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 12th October 2017Gameface preview
It's probably impossible to review Roisin Conaty's Gameface without mentioning the F-word: Fleabag.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 12th October 2017TV review: GameFace, E4, Episode 2
By one of those quirks of scheduling one of the storylines in the second episode of GameFace is very similar to a subplot in the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode which just went out.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 12th October 2017Interview: Roisin Conaty on GameFace
"Comedy is like sex or food. You can't talk someone into it."
Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 11th October 2017TV review: GameFace, E4
If you are the kind of person who doesn't watch E4 because you think it is a bit too youthy, then make an exception for GameFace, the new series written by and starring Roisin Conaty.
