Wittier by the week, Aisling Bea's bittersweet comedy places the emphasis firmly on the sweet in this episode. It is dedicated to demonstrating how everyone has been made so paranoid in the age of offence that they are even afraid to make jokes. Plus, a private tuition job goes horribly, gloriously wrong.

All-in-all, an excellent first episode on so many levels. Episode two is an absolute must watch!
Andy Lloyd, Telly Binge, 11th August 2019This Way Up review
I try not to get over excited with first episodes of a show as many a time they can be great only for the rest to disappoint, but for once I don't think this is going to be the case as we're in the hands of Horgan and Bea who once again show here that they're two incredibly talented individuals.

Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 8th August 2019TV preview: This Way Up, C4
Don't compare This Way Up to anything else, it is a thing of fragile beauty out there on its own.
