What to Know

Critics Consensus

Age Before Beauty aspires to be a clever and glamorous workplace drama, but this thinly written series needs a makeover before its social commentary and character dynamics can be more than just skin-deep.

This is a soap-panto and far too busy. Go to Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian 08/07/2018
3/5
Those expecting a sharper, more satirical edge might be disappointed... But this is solid writing, with a solid cast of decent, watchable actors. Go to Full Review Euan Ferguson Guardian 08/06/2018
It might go on to be a scathing indictment of society's current demands on bodies... and despite a nasty infidelity and a schemingly not nice Robson Green shock, it still feels more like a soap. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Jul 25
1/4
Not up to the excellent Britbox’ usual high standards. A silly, low brow, predictable series set in a hair salon somewhere in the UK. This feel bad outing that takes the path of least resistance in its storytelling is highly skippable. Go to Full Review Victoria Segal Sunday Times (UK) 08/06/2018
It was comfortingly soapy, but in style and content Age Before Beauty needed a makeover. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 08/06/2018
What seemed a tiresomely familiar tale was cleverly, if a touch convolutedly, turned on its head part way through, which bodes well for the next five installments. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/11/2019 It's refreshing and it would be good if they could come up with a season two as I'm sure a lot of people would like to know what happens after all the chaos from season one. Good cast and brilliant story line. See more Read all reviews
