British Comedy Guide, 5th August 2020TV review: Mister Winner series 1 episode 6
I really don't want to be too harsh on the show, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it, but it repeatedly takes a scenario which could lead to amusement but then just doesn't do anything that funny or inventive with it. While normally I'd hope that a second series might resolve the problems the first had but it seems a deliberate choice to be such a mundane affair, so in this case I hope it isn't given one and the cast go on to bigger and far better things instead.

Review of new sitcom from Spencer Jones.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 26th March 2020TV review: Mister Winner, series 1 episode 1
Given how much of a fan I am of Spencer and Pearman I will watch at least one more episode, but if it wasn't for the talented cast then I'm not sure I'd bother.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 26th March 2020Mister Winner, episode 1 review
Spencer Jones is one of the funniest, most inventive comedians to have emerged in recent years - which is why it's so disappointing to see him in this most lukewarm of sitcoms. It's like putting Lewis Hamilton behind the wheel of a Reliant Robin.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th March 2020Mister Winner, review
This good-natured comedy is just the tonic we need right now.
