Geordie Gray The Australian Jul 21, 2026
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, 2026
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 Ben Dowell The Times (UK) Jun 5, 2026
4/5
When Davies steps down from his pulpit and lets his characters breathe, his storytelling is visionary, devastating, passionate and humane. And we should listen. Go to Full Review Laura Pérez Fotogramas Jul 27, 2026
...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 David Knox TV Tonight AU Jul 22, 2026
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 Belen Prieto Espinof Jul 16, 2026
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 Read all reviews

Alicia B @RT56789002133 6 days ago The acting is fantastic, but I'm not sure I actually enjoyed watching this. It's uncomfortable almost all the time, and some of the story felt unnecessarily bleak. Still, I couldn't deny how well made it was. See more Federico B @RT40703177 Sep 2, 2026 Magnifica. Una serie da vedere in lingua originale, recitata magnificamente. See more Carolyn K @knappy Aug 29, 2026 This was a really intense watch. The performances are excellent, especially Alan Cmming and David Morrissey, and the final episodes genuinely got under my skin. It can be a little heavy-handed at times, but I couldn't stop watching once everything started coming together. See more Pam B @RT5678904221327 Aug 22, 2026 Sometimes this is really good. others it's nonsensical or comically polemic, forcefully breaking immersion and robbing all agency from its characters. See more Les N @Vegas628 Aug 11, 2026 Does this happen today? I don't think so. See more Corrine S @Corrine97 Aug 4, 2026 I think it had a lot of promising elements, interesting characters and speeches but the whole thing felt very unreal and flat. It was clearly trying to comment on real world issue but the characters were caricatures who did mad stuff to push forward the drama. See more Read all reviews
