Review: Please Help, BBC Three/iPlayer
This is one of those comedies that can be read on at least two levels. It's daft fun, certainly, but it also seems to be making a serious comment about the pressure put on the mental health of individuals by the inadequacy of the NHS care system, which can place a heavy burden on family members.

The BBC really ought to pounce on this imaginative, hilarious premise and sign Pearman up for a series immediately.

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th August 2020TV review: Mister Winner series 1 episode 6
I really don't want to be too harsh on the show, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it, but it repeatedly takes a scenario which could lead to amusement but then just doesn't do anything that funny or inventive with it. While normally I'd hope that a second series might resolve the problems the first had but it seems a deliberate choice to be such a mundane affair, so in this case I hope it isn't given one and the cast go on to bigger and far better things instead.

Carol Midgley, The Times, 26th March 2020TV review: Mister Winner, series 1 episode 1
Given how much of a fan I am of Spencer and Pearman I will watch at least one more episode, but if it wasn't for the talented cast then I'm not sure I'd bother.
