Brian Lowry Variety Sep 13, 2018
Unapologetically romantic, this British comedy about a whirlwind relationship between two gentle, vulnerable souls shines brightest when the two of them are together, and considerably less so when their eccentric circle of friends and family take over.

Well the sweet, wonderfully charming Britcom Gavin & Stacey takes those [old Hollywood] rules and sends them through the shredder. Go to Full Review Mhairi McFarlane Guardian Sep 13, 2018
Gavin and Stacey is short on image, positively dodgy on soundtrack ... and really good where it counts. Go to Full Review Nick Reilly NME (New Musical Express) Jul 13, 2021
It's hardly a reinvention of the wheel, but Jones and Corden have ensured that each storyline fits the characters like a (Christmas) stocking. Go to Full Review Meghan O'Keefe Decider Oct 22, 2018
Trust me, it's cute. Go to Full Review Sandrine Sahakians TV Equals Sep 13, 2018
Gavin & Stacey is able to tell a love story without all the cutesie stuff around it. It just feels so real and I think that's what really touched me. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dee G @RT66871726 Aug 15, 2026 It’s like going to a party with your whole family and seeing them rip each other a part I love this series, as a fellow Welshie I can relate so much See more Danny R @RT96969971 Dec 30, 2024 A so called comedy about a vulgar and vile Essex family that are only made slightly bearable by the welsh half of the equation, Matthew Horne and James Corden struggle to find the meaning of comedy and charisma, I've seen more charisma in a toe nail. See more Audience M @audiencem Dec 25, 2024 From the very first episode, it’s clear Gavin & Stacey is something special. Created by the talented James Corden and Ruth Jones, this series masterfully captures the quirks of British humour while delivering a heartwarming tale that resonates universally. Every character feels real and relatable, with their own distinct personality that adds depth to the show. Their catchphrases ingrained into the national culture, who hasn’t found themselves quoting, “What’s occurring?” during conversation. See more Benyamin M @Benyamin5347 Dec 24, 2024 Oh...
