Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 17th May 2021The Pursuit Of Love, episode 2 review
A huge improvement, but Andrew Scott still steals the show.
Susannah Goldsbrough, The Telegraph, 16th May 2021Didn't like BBC's adaptation of Pursit Of Love? Grow up
Purists have been whingeing that Emily Mortimer's version of the Nancy Mitford classic wasn't perfect. There is nothing more boring or performative than this superior literary snobbery.
Sarah Carson, i Newspaper, 14th May 2021Review: Pursuit Of Love scattered with endless faults
I never thought I'd be thanking Marc Bolan for rescuing my Sunday night viewing. But that's what happened last weekend.

Rachel Cooke, The New Statesman, 10th May 2021Is the BBC cashing in on Bridgerton's sex appeal?
The Nancy Mitford adaptation was ground zero for that Dominic West-Lily James rumour. The Pursuit Of Love's promises a costume drama full of sex and scandal, but how does it compare to Netflix's hit period drama?
