I have to say part of me was disappointed that we didn't get to see Robin Askwith in an episode of Inside No. 9, but what we got instead was the show at it's most daring - further proof that now the end is nigh for the series, the Shearsmith and Pemberton are pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the format more than ever before.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 19th May 2023Inside No. 9 fools viewers with bus replacement service
Creators and stars Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton played an inspired 'trick' on fans of their anthology series Inside No. 9 this week by creating an episode that didn't even 'exist' and broadcasting an alternative episode that nobody expected.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 18th May 2023Inside No. 9 - Love Is A Stranger review
Rushbrook's performance was outstanding. A thirty-minute comedy doesn't give the greatest scope for a dramatic performance but it can be done.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 12th May 2023Inside No. 9 - Love Is A Stranger review
"Love Is A Stranger" is another excellent episode in what is one of the strongest series of Inside No. 9 yet.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 11th May 2023Inside No. 9 - Love Is A Stranger review
Claire Rushbrook shines in an Inside No. 9 episode about looking for love in all the wrong places.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 11th May 2023Inside No. 9 review
Love Is A Stranger was an expertly conceived, written and acted piece of television about the horrors of online dating. Claire Rushbrook's performance was beautifully restrained, oozing shy vulnerability as a series of hideous men popped up on her laptop screen, played by Mathew Horne, Shearsmith and Pemberton, plus Frances Barber as a ghastly woman selling diets to lonely women. Then, finally, a man who seemed nice, played by Asim Chaudhry. It kept you guessing as to who was the "lonely hearts killer" until the final seconds, then pulled the rug again. Small but perfectly formed television.
