Ian Wolf, On The Box, 29th April 2019Fleabag's over: what are critics going to w*** to now?
I should state that this article is not attacking the show. Of course Fleabag is good. I'm just so sick of critics fawning over it.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 9th April 2019Blockbusters review
Given that the channel are certainly putting considerable effort into the show, I can see it certainly being more successful than its past revivals, although deep down it will be hard to match Holness's original.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 21st March 2019Review: Fleabag - Series Two
Before going into this review I should state that I have one major problem with Fleabag: other critics. When the first series aired in 2016, one of the most famous scenes is of the title character played by the show's writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, masturbating to footage of Barack Obama. Similarly, the critics are so fawning in their praise of this comedy that in my head just about every single newspaper TV critic in Britain is secretly wanking off to Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 12th February 2018Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 6: Tempting Fate review
This episode is truly creepy. The atmosphere is genuinely disturbing. Due to the darkness of the surroundings and huge piles of boxes all over the place, it feels really claustrophobic. Although there are episodes set in much smaller spaces, the whole tone of the show makes you feel that you are trapped, in the same way the characters are trapped by the wishes of the hare.
