Everyone Else Burns review

While it may set the antenna of Irish viewers tingling, the Channel 4 sitcom fails to land its punches.

Everyone Else Burns: how do you make religious cults funny?

Channel 4's new sitcom, starring Simon Bird and Lolly Adefope, is a slow-burner that struggles to balance humour with its dark subject matter.

Everyone Else Burns review

Channel 4's latest isn't funnier-than-thou - but it does have some bright spots.

Hellfire and heathens: the making of Everyone Else Burns

"Everything's funnier if you're worried that your family might be obliterated by divine fire."

Vicky Jessop, Evening Standard, 23rd January 2023

Everyone Else Burns review

Everyone Else Burns, written by relative newcomers Dillon Mapletoft and Oliver Taylor, is a strikingly fresh sitcom while at the same time touching on some instantly recognisable tropes - the family dynamic, dad worried about his status, rivalry, meddling neighbours. It takes a few swipes at religion but actually in a fairly benign way.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 23rd January 2023

Everyone Else Burns: this great new British comedy will make you laugh again and again

The Inbetweeners' Simon Bird stars in this bright, original show about a hyper-religious family. It's such an excellent reminder of Britain's flair for sitcoms that it's oddly stirring.
