British Comedy Guide, 28th June 2023Breeders, season two, review
Under the weight of mindfulness and celebrities urging us to breath deeply, the potty-mouthed parenting series feels almost subversive.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 27th May 2021TV review: Breeders, Sky One
The first episode positively zips by. It lasts about 25 minutes, though I guess if you took the fucks out of it, it would be around a quarter of an hour.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th March 2020Year of the Rabbit review
Matt Berry, Freddie Fox, and Susan Wokoma make for a fantastic central trio, as the raunchy detective comedy makes a stop in 1880s London.
Steve Greene, IndieWire, 19th February 2020Year Of The Rabbit writers plan Series 2
Kevin Cecil and Andy Riley - the writers of Year Of The Rabbit - say they have "sketched out" some ideas for Series 2, although it has yet to be commissioned.
British Comedy Guide, 16th July 2019Review: Channel 4's Year of the Rabbit is silly & smart
Essentially The Sweeney in Victorian times (in fact the show's original working title was Ye Sweeney), Year of the Rabbit proves to be a winning mix of smart but silly gags with a first-rate cast.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 11th June 2019Sweary, mutton-chopped Victorian detective Eli Rabbit proves to be an ideal role for Matt Berry in this roistering police spoof. Alun Armstrong plays Rabbit's bewhiskered boss and Paul Kaye his nemesis as laughs meet Whitechapel-flavoured murder mystery. Heart-stoppingly funny.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 10th June 2019Year Of The Rabbit review
Brash, sweary and massively over the top, Year Of The Rabbit plays to all of Matt Berry's strengths as a larger-than-life performer.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th June 2019Year of the Rabbit review
Matt Berry in superb form as drunken and incompetent copper .
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 10th June 2019TV review: Year of the Rabbit
This Victorian comedy caper is lively, bawdy fun.
