Katie Rice London Evening Standard 05/08/2023
4/5
Despite its flaws, Dreamland offers a lot of heart. It shows the female experience in many of its guises and is a breath of fresh sea air in more ways than one. Go to Full Review Suzanne Moore New Statesman 04/12/2023
Lily Allen’s performance holds it together. She is a very fine actress and totally believable as Mel, who screws up and hurts others without meaning to. Go to Full Review Kylie Northover The Age (Australia) 04/12/2023
3/5
Dreamland’s laughs mostly play it safe... Not that there aren’t some funny moments, and it’s a strong ensemble; veteran theatre actor Frances Barber is a standout and yes, Lily Allen can act. Go to Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk 12/11/2024

Michael S @RT36902998 08/04/2023 Couldn't get through the first episode, no idea what it was about and what the heck was everyone dressed in super bright colours about, they nearly broke my TV! lMight give it another go just to see some shots of Margate as I used to live there.
