Harriet Addison London Evening Standard 02/23/2023
4/5
Directed by BAFTA nominated director James Griffiths, responsible for the first series of Episodes with Matt LeBlanc and Tamsin Greig, this has similar wit, but in a grittier, less glowing set-up of a post-pandemic. Go to Full Review Louise Rugendyke Sydney Morning Herald 02/10/2023
4/5

4/5

4/5

Maternal turns the dial down ten notches and is all the better for it. Plus the dialogue is authentically sarky. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
