3/5
It’s uneven but Gallagher’s performance is good enough to keep you watching; you’ll care about what happens to her, and cringe at her mistakes. Go to Full Review Chitra Ramaswamy Guardian 09/20/2022
4/5
The Dry has a heart as dark and nourishing as a pint of Guinness. It sobered me right up, and I loved it. Go to Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies 03/19/2024
The show wonderfully balances all of their stories in this beautifully bittersweet comedy drama. Go to Full Review Ann Marie Hourihane Irish Independent 03/29/2023
Its script and its cast were all in, all the time. It built itself up very nicely over the past few weeks and it felt funny and true. Go to Full Review Eilis O'Hanlon Irish Independent 03/03/2023
