Off The Hook Episode 3 Review
After two weeks of anodyne but passable fare, Off The Hook serves up its first resounding dud.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 25th September 2009Off The Hook review
Off The Hook has the problem of not only needing to be good, but to also mutate the granite-solid impression of BBC3 dross. And it achieves this through the most reliable technique possible: it's pretty funny!
Luke Knowles, The Custard TV, 25th September 2009Oh dear. It was already a very male show, but this week Dean Craig's campus comedy - a non-swearing, teenage Curb Your Enthusiasm mixed with The Inbetweeners - fumbles about in Porkies territory when Danny needs a subject for his Female Beauty photography project and lets Shane give him a few unethical tips. Still, it enables their misanthropic housemate Fred (James Buckley) to cruise past the clueless pair once more, and throws in an appealing romance to leaven the testosterone-fuelled horseplay. Next week's episode gets things back on track.
