What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Full Monty threatens to reveal the emperor has no clothes in a silver screen transition that yields mostly diminishing returns, although there's still pleasure to be had in the company of these hardscrabble chums.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine 06/16/2023
What works well on a minute-to-minute, scene-to-scene level, thanks to the warmth of the performances and the authenticity of the banter, adds up to an incoherent jumble of people and ideas. Go to Full Review
Verne Gay Newsday 06/16/2023
2.5/4
Good, sharply written (and acted) series that lacks the sizzle, pop and magic of the movie. Go to Full Review
Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 06/15/2023
Though the series is sensible enough on its own terms, familiarity with the film will make it a richer, and not at all a disappointing, experience; the show is faithful to its predecessor's spirit. Go to Full Review

5/5
It’s the kind of series that feels almost communal – like seeing old friends. Go to Full Review
Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 06/30/2023
4/5
Genial and upbeat though it circles around serious social topics, this series picks up 26 years after 1997's original movie with the reunited cast and same affecting tone. Go to Full Review
Ian Hyland Daily Mirror (UK) 06/29/2023
Where the movie was a warm-hearted, uplifting caper with a side order of politics, the TV series ladles on the politics and despair from the very beginning, pausing only to offer the occasional comedy moments. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 26 The television revival of The Full Monty is a deeply disappointing misfire that completely misses what made the original film resonate. Instead of expanding on the humor, heart, and working class desperation that once defined the story, the series delivers a flat, unfocused narrative with sluggish pacing and little emotional payoff. From the very first episode, it feels aimless and exhausting rather than engaging. The screenplay is the show’s biggest failure. Dialogue is dull, scenes drag endlessly, and there are no standout moments that justify the revival. Even with the return of the original cast, the series relies too heavily on nostalgia while offering almost no meaningful character growth or creative spark. By the end, there is no payoff, no evolution, and no reason for this story to exist. Without sharp writing, energy, or purpose, The Full Monty series becomes an unnecessary continuation that ultimately weakens the legacy of the original film. It never earns its own identity. See more Fdd F Jul 6 The focus on destiny ( Talitha Wing) totally ruined it. She’s not a strong enough actress to carry a series and her character is as very cringe from the start and extremely unlikeable…I’m unsure why they pushed her character so much. It’s a same because everyone else did a really good job. See more Janine W Jun 24 Terrible, don’t see the point See more Carolyn O 01/24/2024 Loved it. Each episode got better and better with a stunning final episode. Can't speak highly enough of it. See more Taposh B 09/16/2023 It's not just funny. It's really meaningful. Serious commentary on the country in a deceptively funny package See more Italian G 07/19/2023 I'm kind of shocked that the score is as low as it is here. I think that this show is GREAT, although misleading by naming it after the original movie because (spoiler alert) no "full montys" happening. It is very entertaining, some great acting and it kept me wanting more as soon as the episodes ended. I had to learn the British slang I kept hearing & now it is easier to get the nuances. People are sleeping on this show and I feel like they are giving lower scores because nobody dropped trou in this series. Give it a watch, it's worth it. I'm sad I binged it so quick and can't wait until Season 2! See more Read all reviews
