Sarah Morgan, The Guardian, 2nd August 2019Year 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 2019DI Rabbit is at his rascally best as Andy Riley and Kevin Cecil's riotous Victorian police spoof finds him on the trail of a killer known as the Brick Man. At last we learn more about Keeley Hawes's mysterious character, who steps out of the shadows long enough to lure would-be "ladyfilth" Mabel into her orbit.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 17th June 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 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, Channel 4 review
A hare-brained comedy that raises eyebrows - even if you only have one.
Susannah Butter, Evening Standard, 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.
Sarah Carson, i Newspaper, 10th June 2019Year of the Rabbit review
Silly and gleefully sweary ... but where were the gags?
Tim Dowling, The Guardian, 10th June 2019Year of the Rabbit is a strange but funny beast
It's tempting to just write down all the best one-liners and jokes so you know how good they are, but it would be impossible to do justice to the actors' deadpan delivery. Never has extreme physical violence and brutal murder been so hilarious.
