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 2020Review: 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.

The episode "Death Be Not Proud" contained a reference to Edward Buchan, the character played by Steve Pemberton in ITV drama series Whitechapel.
Stephanie Chasee, Digital Spy, 12th February 2020TV review: Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 2
Last week's Inside No. 9 was the first I hadn't particularly enjoyed, the plot was a little contrived and the humour crass, and simply because there's so many other series on right now I hadn't planned to review it again quite so soon. But due to the nature of the episode and just how much I loved it I found myself with no choice, especially as it contained such a (very, very pleasant) surprise.

Pemberton and Shearsmith give the fans what they want in "Death Be Not Proud".

Major episode spoilers as we explore the Easter Eggs tucked away in Inside No. 9's Death Be Not Proud...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 11th February 2020Inside No. 9 & the sick, twisted history of Psychoville
Following this week's crossover episode, Ed Power remembers Psychoville, the Grand Guignol comedy-horror series that gave us Inside No. 9.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 11th February 2020Another blackly comic, entirely unpredictable half hour in the company of Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and the number nine. Putting a macabre spin on the housing crisis, in Death Be Not Proud, the only home Beattie and Sam (Jenna Coleman and Kadiff Kirwan) can afford comes with a sinister catch.

When did you twig? Was it the blender? The ping-pong ball eyes?
Chris Bennion, The Telegraph, 10th February 2020TV review: Inside No. 9
The quality of Inside No. 9 varies. Some of the episodes unfurl like exquisite, spooky jewel boxes; others feel too much like "theatre". The first episode of the new series fell into the latter category: a neat little three-act drama about four referees at a football match.
