The series would have handed the anthological premise to new writers.
David Craig, Radio Times, 18th April 2023The Unfriend review
Plot and performances flirt with farce.

British Comedy Guide, 27th January 2023The Unfriend, at the Criterion Theatre, reviewed
The Unfriend is a smart new family comedy.
Lloyd Evans, The Spectator, 27th January 2023The Unfriend review
If the plot is lacking the performances are not.
Richard Beck, Broadway Baby, 26th January 2023The Unfriend review
Frances Barber steals the show in ridiculous new comedy.
Chris Selman, Gay Times, 25th January 2023The Unfriend review
Sharp, witty and quick - this play will keep you on your toes laughing full belly laughs as the British ludicrousness plays out on stage.
Tabitha James, A Young(ish) Perspective, 24th January 2023The Unfriend review
Moffat and Gatiss have delivered an audience pleaser, skewering one aspect of British behaviour in a tale that might have a violent ending. A warning too: think twice when you are on holiday!
Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide, 23rd January 2023The Unfriend review
The Unfriend feels like traditional West End fare. Whereas Inside No. 9 pushes boundaries, this reinforces them. But if you want an episode that definitely won't give you nightmares this does hit the spot.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd January 2023The Unfriend, Criterion Theatre review
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's collaboration somehow forgets about the laughs.
