4.5
Davies sews the seeds of awkward tension, prejudice and humour which Cumming and Morrisey deftly handle to great effect. Go to Full Review Geordie Gray The Australian Jul 21
The speechifying is inelegant and takes you out of it. But Davies is too mischievous, funny and humane to just be a hectoring bore. Go to Full Review David Opie Empire Magazine Jun 7
5/5
Tip Toe practically stomps in, boldly calling for history to not repeat itself. Davies has done it again, creating another landmark show that captures the queer zeitgeist.  Go to Full Review Laura Pérez Fotogramas 1d
...the series could be compared to 'Adolescence,' which the British Parliament said should be shown in all schools. 'Tip Toe' could be too. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Belen Prieto Espinof Jul 16
5/5
More than just a series about the LGBTQ+ community, it's a warning to society as a whole and a reminder that hate can quickly become normalized and that equality should never be taken for granted. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Patrick Mulkern Radio Times Jun 10
5/5

A S @inky.pinky.ponky0310603 5h I'm have no affiliation with the rainbow family. But this story is told in a accessible manner, it's funny, well written, good acting and there is a good pace and at the end you come to realise it's a horrible world for some people. Unfortunately. See more RZ U @RT47435222 1d Incredible. Heartbreaking. I had no idea this was a true story. Look at how many lives were irreversibly ruined because of one man's homophobia. These toxic and deeply antisocial behaviors need to be called out every single time. It was a wonderful story and extremely well-paced. It gets you locked in very soon into the first episode. I'm so glad I watched it. See more Teresa H @Teresa594 1d Alan C was absolutely brilliant in this. See more Lorena H @lorahorn 3d I only really understood what Davies was doing by the end. It felt like the story of an ordinary domestic conflict that slowly grows into something that could become national news. I think there was probably an even better version of this drama that could have been made, but it was exceptionally harrowing and thought-provoking all the same. See more Brianna H @RT56879044311 5d It has been a while since a tv show stayed with me. I'm in utter shock and disbelief after the finale. The last 20 minutes are absolutely BONKERS TELEVISION. See more Guillermo W @Guille013 6d It has been at least a couple of years since I was so moved by a TV series. Alan Cummings is absolutely brilliant. See more Read all reviews
