Acclaimed actress, writer and producer Tracey Ullman, a longtime HBO favorite, returns to the network to front another sketch comedy series. Poking fun at modern life in the U.K., the star celebrates her homeland by taking on the personas of its residents and tourists. Over the course of the Emmy-nominated series, Ullman's humorous portrayal of celebrities includes the likes of Dame Judi Dench, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Dame Maggie Smith, as well as everyone from a disaster-prone massage therapist to a member of parliament who goes topless for votes.

The sketch show returns with our Tracey as adept as ever at playing a range of characters... The best sketch by far makes grotesques of Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch (Ben Miller) at a painfully strained family dinner -- more risks like this, please.

While Ullman's portrayal of Judi Dench as a compulsive hellraiser insulated by her national treasure status is a solid, repeatable gag, it almost overshadows her impeccable impersonation of Maggie Smith Go to Full Review Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 14, 2020
3/5
I got the impression that some sketches, especially the musical numbers, were more fun to film than they were to watch. Still, Ullman throws herself at it with gusto and it's iconoclastic enough to elicit gasps as well as giggles. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell Radio Times Mar 14, 2020
Feels more celebrity-heavy second time round. The thinking is understandable. The famous folk also provided the best moments of the last series even if, once again, they tend to throw into sharp relief the slightly weaker social satire. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
