Rain Dogs review
BBC comedy drama about homeless single mother has had rave reviews, so what am I missing?
Pat Stacey, The Independent (Ireland), 5th April 2023Rain Dogs review
London's grim, grimy, highly watchable underbelly.
James Jackson, The Times, 5th April 2023Rain Dogs, BBC One, review
Messy, sharp, devastating, and Daisy May Cooper's best work yet.
Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 4th April 2023Rain Dogs review
Daisy May Cooper is magnificent in this bleak, beautiful comedy drama - which skewers the grotesque realities of class and sex inequality like nothing else.
Chitra Ramaswamy, The Guardian, 4th April 2023Rain Dogs review
Brilliant, bleak sketch of life at the arse-end of Rishi Sunak's Britain.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 4th April 2023Rain Dogs review
Daisy May Cooper is perfect for this brazenly funny and desperately sad dramedy.
Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 4th April 2023Rain Dogs review
Ambitious, original drama does too many things at once.
James Hibbs, Radio Times, 4th April 2023Rain Dogs review
The gripping premise of Daisy May Cooper's latest is neutered by silly twists.
Vicky Jessop, Evening Standard, 4th April 2023Rain Dogs review
Daisy May Cooper is outstanding in bruising BBC dramedy.
