This Country is a gem

The faux fly-on-the-wall documentary is silly, funny, sometimes poignant, and oddly warm-hearted.

Is This Country the best UK comedy since The Office?

Review: This Country, Episode 5, BBC Three

We can laugh at the antics of the people in This Country - it is hard to decide who is more hopeless this week out of Kerry and Kurtan - but that doesn't mean we haven't also grown to care about them over these episodes. One more week to go, but hopefully there will be another series.

Review: This Country, Episode 3, BBC Three

It's a lovely script, with echoes of Victoria Wood, written by the stars, Charlie Cooper and Daisy May Cooper. It does tread a very thin line between sympathy for these marginalised kids and comic piss-take at their stupidity, but it just about gets the balance right.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd February 2017
