Inside No. 9: CTRL/ALT/ESC review
A rare combination of warmth and intensity, CTRL/ALT/ESC is another genre-blending, devastating episode in this final season of Inside No. 9.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 29th May 2024Speculation grows over Inside No. 9 final episode
Speculation has been growing about the very last episode of Inside No. 9, which is set to be broadcast on Wednesday 13th June. Particularly after it was announced that there would be a special live screening 'viewing party' at which the creators and stars Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton would be present. Tickets went on sale last week for the event at the Vue West End cinema in Leicester Square and quickly sold out.

As Inside No. 9 comes to an end after nine series of constant innovation and brilliance, its creators spoke to us about their nine lives in comedy.
Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 15th May 2024Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review
It's enough to say this is one of the pair's more darkly dramatic pieces. There's very little comic relief to relieve the ratcheting tension - an absurdly out-of-place reference to a certain national treasure notwithstanding - which will have you guessing till the end, certain only that this pressurised encounter is not likely to end well.

The Trolley Problem ending is one of the most disturbing yet.
David Craig, Radio Times, 15th May 2024Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review
Up there with Inside No. 9's best two handers, The Trolley Problem is an atmospheric, moody and very dark psychological thriller. Played admirably straight by both actors, it's potentially the most beautifully shot episode of the entire series.

The latest Inside No. 9 is tense, dramatic and grisly, but not satisfying.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 15th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
Inside No. 9, the series of half-hour playlets created by the demonically inventive Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, is ending after a ten-year run.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 9th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
An alternately playful and chilling parable on the perils of authoritarianism, Boo To A Goose is one of the strongest ensemble pieces Inside No. 9 has accomplished.

It's the end of an era and Inside No. 9 is going out all guns blazing.
