Paul Tanter, Radio Times, 17th September 2021Back To Life 2 review
If you haven't caught up with Back To Life then I would urge you to get yourself to iPlayer at your earliest opportunity as it really is one of TV's biggest hidden gems.
Matt Donnelly, The Custard TV, 12th September 2021Back To Life Series 2 review
I would say a few closing things about Back To Life. It's not a sitcom. Not really a comedy at all. The laughs merely come as light relief between the dark moments. Hopefully there will be some forgiveness along the way. But boy is it watchable as we wait for things to pan out, thanks to a taut script without a wasted word and consistently brilliant performances. Not sitcom, maybe not even sadcom. More like sadsit.
