TV review: Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 2
Last week's Inside No. 9 was the first I hadn't particularly enjoyed, the plot was a little contrived and the humour crass, and simply because there's so many other series on right now I hadn't planned to review it again quite so soon. But due to the nature of the episode and just how much I loved it I found myself with no choice, especially as it contained such a (very, very pleasant) surprise.

Pemberton and Shearsmith give the fans what they want in "Death Be Not Proud".
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 11th February 2020Another blackly comic, entirely unpredictable half hour in the company of Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and the number nine. Putting a macabre spin on the housing crisis, in Death Be Not Proud, the only home Beattie and Sam (Jenna Coleman and Kadiff Kirwan) can afford comes with a sinister catch.

When did you twig? Was it the blender? The ping-pong ball eyes?

It's easy to speculate, but don't bother second guessing, just watch.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th February 2020TV review: Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 1
I could have forgiven the questionably dodgy plot if it had been a funny episode, but the majority of the jokes were just laborious and banal and there's absolutely no excuse for that.

The hit black comedy anthology series by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith returns for a fifth series.

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith continue to be in a league of their own.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 3rd February 2020Inside No. 9: the change David Morrissey insisted upon
Before agreeing to appear in Inside No. 9's "The Referee's A W***er", David Morrissey had one condition. Major episode spoilers ahead.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 3rd February 2020Review: Inside No. 9 goes inside the locker room
Although there are plenty of witty lines and the performances are great, "The Referee's a W***er" didn't resonate with me as much as other Inside No. 9 episodes have.
