Trying, Apple TV+ review
Esther Smith triumphs anew in adoption-centred comedy-drama.
Matt Wolf, The Arts Desk, 21st May 2021Trying Series 2 review
With Esther Smith and Rafe Spall back in delightful form, it would be hard to find a better pair to build a heartwarming comedy around.
Steve Greene, IndieWire, 21st May 2021Trying 2 review
In an era of TV/streaming shows celebrating diversity, Andy Wolton's programme feels like something of a throwback to a Richard Curtis-style period when London was populated entirely by white people, i.e. never.

British Comedy Guide, 30th April 2019W1A: Why this final series might be the best yet.
I'm just a little upset that this is the final series as, from what I've seen, W1A is arguably the BBC funniest comedy that's currently on screen and I'm just wondering if the reason its leaving the screens is because of Morton's ability to spoof the company that's actually in charge of recommissioning his brilliant sitcom.
Matt, The Custard TV, 19th September 2017W1A series three preview
There are moments in W1A that are almost too agonising to watch. The circuitous meetings of the BBC's directionless yet ironically named Way Ahead group so accurately replicate the prevarications of real corporate life that you can feel the knuckle-gnawing frustration from your own sofa.
