Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/04/2022
2/5
While entertaining enough, none of this really added to what we already assume about the job of being a politician, not even when a gleefully evil late twist arrived. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 10/04/2022
5/5
If we judge it on its own terms, it’s a hit. How could adding politics to the basic recipe -- and presenting us with possibly the only breed of people we suspect and despise even more than young, thrusting corporate types -- not compel? Go to Full Review Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) 09/30/2022
4/5
I have to say, having been badly jaundiced by over-exposure to politics and politicians over some decades, I am pleasantly surprised at how well the show works. Somehow it actually manages to make the political process look like God’s work. Go to Full Review Paul Whitington Irish Independent 10/12/2022
As a concept, Make Me Prime Minister is idiotic in the extreme, and the fake scenarios do not come close to recreating the fever dream that is real politics. Go to Full Review Ann Marie Hourihane Irish Independent 10/07/2022
It has the kind of grinding inevitability of The Apprentice: you don’t want to watch, but you’re come this far so you may as well finish it. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 10/04/2022
Split into teams and given the task of coming up with a new education policy and selling it to the press, the hopefuls in this Apprentice-style contest are, for the most part, predictably hopeless. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
