3/5
The way the set-up of each episode is underpinned by several micro-interactions is promising, and one highlight is seeing [Stephen] Mangan briefly reunite with fellow Green Wing alum, Karl Theobald. Go to Full Review Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/19/2019
5/5
I should imagine that practitioners will roll eyeballs at its flagrant liberty-taking. But taken with a pinch of salt, Hang Ups is a ribald skewering of the talking cure that's almost too much of a tasty treat. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 08/17/2018
4/5
Mangan's performance is pitch-perfect, if you ask me, as was Steve Oram's as the Brummie psycho Neil, David Tennant's depressed, people-hating waiter and Grant's po-faced psychotherapist. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator 04/19/2019
At the core of the programme are such old-school virtues as strong central performances, good jokes and an impressively starry supporting cast. Go to Full Review David Butcher Radio Times 04/19/2019
Away from the slightly overcooked domestic problems, the online therapy sessions look like they will offer rich comic territory, with a raft of quality cameos including Richard E Grant and, as the hero's testy father, Charles Dance. Go to Full Review Molli Mitchell Daily Express (UK) 04/19/2019
Overall, Hang Ups successfully uses comedy to shed light on the importance of mental health without crossing the line. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
