Peacock, BBC Three, review

Doesn't come close to People Just Do Nothing.

Peacock review

It pootles along amiably, but never once threatens to feel like essential TV.

Peacock, review

Gym sitcom skewers the hollow masculinity behind the pecs and the posers.

Gabriel Tate, The Telegraph, 25th April 2022

The Curse review

They don't talk in slick zingers or gaggy jokes; but that only makes it easier to root for these out-of-their-depth clods as the pressure of living with what they've done ramps up.

TV review: The Curse, C4

If you are watching TV late on a Sunday night bracing yourself for another week at the working grindstone you probably won't want anything too intellectully demanding. In which case The Curse perfectly fits the bill, putting a brisk, fresh twist on the old heist genre.

The Curse review

Retro heist sitcom is so good that it'll blow the bloody doors off.

Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 6th February 2022

The Curse, Channel 4, review

A slick Guy Ritchie-esque heist.
