It’s delightful. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 08/17/2024
4/5
Daddy Issues is daft, honest, funny and tinged with bleakness. It gives stereotypes a twist and everything feels that bit more resonant as a result. Go to Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming 08/21/2024
3/5
Despite its shortcomings, Lou and Morrissey’s tender performances result in Daddy Issues becoming a surprisingly heartfelt father-daughter tale. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) 08/19/2024
3/5
Initially, Daddy Issues is too jerky (crude/cartoonish). Mid-series, the writing sharpens, characterisation gels, and there’s a defiant wildness and eccentricity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
