Esther Smith triumphs anew in adoption-centred comedy-drama.
Matt Wolf, The Arts Desk, 21st May 2021Trying Series 2 review
With Esther Smith and Rafe Spall back in delightful form, it would be hard to find a better pair to build a heartwarming comedy around.
Steve Greene, IndieWire, 21st May 2021Trying 2 review
In an era of TV/streaming shows celebrating diversity, Andy Wolton's programme feels like something of a throwback to a Richard Curtis-style period when London was populated entirely by white people, i.e. never.
Dan Meier, The Upcoming, 17th May 2021Trying, review
Apple TV's first British comedy isn't as funny or as quirky as it's trying to be.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 1st May 2020Review: Trying, Apple TV+
Apple TV+'s first British original comedy is an interesting one. It both plays it very safe, with its cosy thirtysomething Camden Town environment and also goes into some unusual territory as it deals with a young couple going through the difficult process of adopting.
