British Comedy Guide, 4th February 2019This sitcom, written by Jack Dee and Pete Sinclair, inexplicably limped to a second series. The set-up is that a couple (Dee and Kerry Godliman) have moved from the city to the country, where they find, among many other clichés trotted out in the various scenarios they face, that the grass isn't always greener. Joining the bad internet connection, weird neighbours and rude locals storylines of the first series were a leaking roof and moth infestation in the second. The lack of any discernible chemistry between the leads didn't help either, and Dee's lugubrious style meant Godliman had little to play off, so she upped her performance, but not in a good way. It's a shame, but it shows that sitcom (with two very good stand-ups as leads) can be less than the sum of its parts.

Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 26th September 2018Bad Move: a confusing waste of Jack Dee's talents

Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 19th September 2018Review: Bad Move
Jack Dee's Bad Move is a tired and unimaginative sitcom about life in the countryside.
