Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) 04/16/2019
My strong advice is to stick with the series. Kerry and Kurtan, by the way, are played by real-life brother and sister team Charlie and Daisy Cooper, the funniest siblings of this or any age. Go to Full Review Anna Leszkiewicz New Statesman 04/16/2019
This Country is a masterclass in the idiosyncrasies triggered by rustic boredom. Go to Full Review Rupert Hawksley Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/16/2019
It is, by some distance, the funniest thing on television at the moment. Go to Full Review Radio Times Staff Radio Times 04/16/2019
This Country is incredibly well observed, not just the tics and nuances of Kerry and Kurtan's accents but in its dark folklore. Go to Full Review Ian Sandwell Digital Spy 12/03/2018
This Country is a sharply observed look at life in the country with all its quirks and challenges. Most importantly, it's consistently hilarious, wringing big laughs without needing to resort to over-the-top sitcom moments. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lana t @RT48857590 01/04/2025 Simply hilarious, a must watch! See more 06/22/2020 Genius! Hilarious and heartbreaking--often within the same scene. Even the minor characters like Mandy and Len are pitch perfect. But "Kurts" and "Ker" are the true slacker heroes--unredeemable underdog slackers--who pull the audience in and get us rooting for them. Season 3 has yet to debut in the US, but S1 & 2 are worth watching again and again until it does. See more 04/27/2020 what a lovely surprise! See more Read all reviews
