TV review: Upright, series 1, episodes 1 and 2
The first episode initially moves at quite a fast pace with the duo together within six minutes, but then it spends the rest of it's run time teasing us as to whether they will actually team up, despite everyone knowing that's the concept of the show and it's definitely going to happen.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 10th December 2019TV review: Upright, Sky Atlantic
If you know what's good for you you'll be spending lots of time with them too.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 28th November 2019Upright review
Tim Minchin largely, but not entirely, eschews the laughs in this odd-couple road-trip drama, which boasts two intriguing characters with murky back stories.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 28th November 2019Upright, Sky Atlantic, review
Tim Minchin and newcomer Milly Alcock shine in this downbeat comedy with an air of End of the F***ing World.
Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 28th November 2019Upright, episodes 1 and 2, review
Tim Minchin gets back on his feet in sharp-tongued but touching new comedy.
