Their stories are full of surprises and can be quietly devastating, and the episodes are like jewel boxes that gradually open up to reveal the riches within. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) 06/29/2020
5/5
Filmed during lockdown with a fresh cast, they're as masterful, diamond-cut, powerful and painful as they ever were. Plus, Bennett has written two new ones, so that's joy unconfined for fun-loving people like us. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 06/26/2020
5/5

Imelda Staunton glitters with equal fury, but her anger runs hot rather than ice cold. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 06/29/2020
It ought to have meant tears before bedtime, but Bennett gave us laugh out loud writing besides. That, plus superb performances, make Talking Heads a must see once more. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator 06/26/2020
The one I particularly hated was one of the two new ones he has written, 'An Ordinary Woman'. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
