More Critic Reviews for Girlfriends Series 1 All Critics (13) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (2) Plenty to be going on with there, you might think, and a drama featuring older women should always be welcomed. But Girlfriends is a Kay Mellor six-parter so, the narrative is ludicrously overstuffed. Sep 6, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Gabriel Tate Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic ... doesn't aways hit its marks -- particularly during the over-reaching opening minutes of Episode 4. But the three lead performances, particularly on the part of Miranda Richardson, are more than enough to carry the day. Jan 29, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic This increasingly bizarre series has morphed from drama to comedy to utter farce. There were moments of greatness at the beginning of Girlfriends, but recently we have been left staring at our screens perplexed. Sep 6, 2018 | Full Review… Sara Wallis Daily Mirror (UK) No one could say Girlfriends, the daftest drama of the year (so far) didn't leave us in any doubt about what it wanted: larger suitcases for "dead" bodies. Sep 6, 2018 | Full Review… David Stephenson Daily Express (UK) Think Golden Girls by way of Desperate Housewives and you have Kay Mellor's deliciously dishy Girlfriends, one of the juicier British imports since the original Mistresses. Feb 22, 2018 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Insider This rollicking menopausal melodrama boasts an all-star cast and a writer at the height of her powers. Jan 29, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Girlfriends is part mystery, and we're hooked on wanting to know what happened to Micky. But the more important "mysteries," really, are the lives of these three women, each one heroic in her own life. Feb 1, 2018 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle Top Critic I cannot lie: I expected a carousel of middle-age clichés: anti-wrinkle treatments, divorces, hot flushes. And, actually, Girlfriends delivers all of these things. But it is not awful or depressing. Jan 29, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Carol Midgley Times (UK) Top Critic This cheerful clarion call is going to find many friends among the baby boomer demographic, and possibly beyond. Jan 29, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Jasper Rees The Arts Desk Girlfriends trades on some standard older-ladies-doing-wacky-things humor, but that's just to put you at ease.
