All change once again on Inside No. 9 as the anthology gives us social realism.

Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 18th February 2020

TV: Inside No. 9 - Love's Great Adventure, BBC Two

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton don't make it easy for critics do they? Or maybe they do.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th February 2020

Inside No. 9: Love's Great Adventure review

Every episode of Inside No. 9 has a different style, and for "Love's Great Adventure", Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have gone full kitchen-sink drama.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 17th February 2020

Inside No 9: Love's Great Adventure, review

A kitchen-sink drama that's up there with the series' finest episodes.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 17th February 2020

Review: Inside No. 9 delivers kitchen sink drama

Although Inside No. 9 has always experimented with different settings, formats and genres, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have said that they think this fifth series of their anthology show is the most varied one they've done so far.
