Katherine McLaughlin, The List, 20th February 2017Mindhorn review

No matter what else occurred in 2016, it was a bit of a cracking year for 'our sort' of comedy on TV.
The Velvet Onion, 29th January 2017Mindhorn review
A Frankenstein's monster of Brit-comedy tropes that still feels fresh and funny.
Alistair Ryder, Film Inquiry, 21st November 2016Depressed girl killed herself after watching Flowers
A sixth former at a top private boarding school was found hanging just hours after being distressed by a Channel 4 series which featured a suicide attempt, an inquest has heard. Rebecca Haley, 18, was said left 'upset and emotional' after watching the series called Flowers which examined issues around depression.
Richard Spillett, Daily Mail, 25th October 2016Mindhorn review
Mindhorn isn't slick, and it's rough around the edges, and we have no idea if it'll connect with a wider audience. But a MacGruber-style cult following at least seems guaranteed, and more than anything, it just feels refreshing for a British comedy to have as much dumb ambition as it has.
The Playlist, 13th October 2016Mindhorn review
A frustratingly slapdash and derivative affair.
Luke Channell, Hey U Guys, 12th October 2016Mindhorn review
