Everyone Else Burns review

Everyone Else Burns, written by relative newcomers Dillon Mapletoft and Oliver Taylor, is a strikingly fresh sitcom while at the same time touching on some instantly recognisable tropes - the family dynamic, dad worried about his status, rivalry, meddling neighbours. It takes a few swipes at religion but actually in a fairly benign way.

Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 20th January 2023

Creative team behind Everyone Else Burns talk "subverting traditional narratives"

Each character goes on their own personal journey and there are nuances to the way in which they relate to their hyper-religious upbringing.
