Review: Inside No. 9 conjures up an elaborate treat
In what has so far been a very experimental series of Inside No. 9 (Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have said themselves that they think it's their most varied series to date), this fourth episode, "Misdirection", is the first one that perhaps wouldn't feel out of place in an earlier series of the show.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 25th February 2020TV: Inside No. 9 - Misdirection, BBC Two
The latest Inside No. 9, "Misdirection", finds Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton delving into the world of magic, secrets and maybe a bit of murder too.
