British Comedy Guide, 13th February 2019Semi-Detached review
Semi-Detached is not anything new or game-changing, but it is an incredibly confident and funny comedy, and the real-time gimmick gives it an energy and a forward pace that many sitcoms lack.
Reece Goodall, The Boar, 13th January 2019TV: Semi-Detached, BBC2
After his foray into live sitcom with Not Going Out just before Christmas Lee Mack is back in sitcomland with this all-star fast-paced one-off pilot in which the twist is that everything happens in real time.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 6th January 2019Semi-Detached review
The first sitcom pilot of the year stars Lee Mack in this real-time story set over one man's terrible half-hour (although the pilot's only 20 minutes long).
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 6th January 2019Semi-Detached review
There may be questions over whether the furious pace can be sustained for the extra 50 per cent running time required for the traditional BBC sitcom half-hour. Or indeed whether such maelstroms of mayhem can be conjured up week after week. But this is a promising germ for that holy grail of comedy commissioners everywhere: a mainstream suburban sitcom that doesn't suck.

Let's be honest, you watched the live edition of Not Going Out hoping that the scenery would fall on Lee Mack didn't you?
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd December 2018Not Going Out live episode review
A live version of Not Going Out was never going to be as inventive as Inside No 9 doing the same - real-time tweets, big plot twists and all. But true to form, it's was safely, but not excitingly, funny.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd December 2018How to keep a sitcom fresh? Having morphed Not Going Out from farce to family comedy, Lee Mack now attempts the risky undertaking of a live episode, which finds Lee and Lucy organising a Christmas show to raise cash for their children's school. What could possibly go wrong?
