Jerk review
There's the core of a great idea here, poking fun at the sort of people who panic when they meet anyone with a serious disability. But a subject so sensitive needs clever, imaginative writing - not pratfalls and sight gags about walking frames.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 3rd August 2021Jerk Series 2 review
Tim Renkow's Jerk is a clear example that anything's up for mockery, just as long as it's done with clear, uncruel intention.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2nd August 2021Jerk Series 2 review
Tim Renkow is back as a sociopathic puppeteer with cerebral palsy - who now identifies as able-bodied - in this superbly awkward comedy about society's discomfort with disability.
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 2nd August 2021Jerk, BBC One, review

British Comedy Guide, 5th September 2019Review: Jerk, BBC Three
BBC Three has come up with a pocket-sized gem in Jerk. Following a one-off pilot in 2016, this is only a four-part series but there's a surprisingly pleasing arc to it as we go from squirming at the main character Tim's behaviour to cheering him on at the end. As they say, we laugh and we learn.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st March 2019Zapped Series 3 confirmed
