Douglas Is Cancelled review

Rows about cancel culture tend to be reductive. A clear binary between those who harrumph "you can't say anything any more" and the righteously censorious. A nuanced path somewhere between the two is probably society's best way forward, but as a savvy newspaper editor says in Steven Moffat's twisty new comedy-drama Douglas Is Cancelled: "Outrage is exciting, nuance is work."

Douglas Is Cancelled review

You might hate this show for daring to exist.

Douglas Is Cancelled review

Cancel culture drama offers only sermons, moral binaries and easy answers.
