One of our finest comic actresses deserves better than The Nan Movie or Hard Cell. Will a trip in the Tardis erase our memories of both?

Hard Cell review

Hard Cell seems to be from another time.

Review: Hard Cell, Netflix

Hard Cell certainly showcases her gift for characterisation - with some caveats - but it does feel terribly dated.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 13th April 2022

Hard Cell review

Sure, Catherine Tate's Netflix debut is arriving in the aftermath of The Nan Movie (0% on Rotten Tomatoes; nobody credited as the director, reportedly because nobody wanted to be), but there's a tremendous amount of goodwill for Tate. Its critic-baiting title aside, the comedian's pedigree means that Hard Cell isn't an especially hard sell. But some buyer's remorse is quite likely.
