Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th April 2020How Mel and Sue made a hit out of Hitmen
If you think Mel and Sue are a lovely pair who wouldn't hurt a fly, wait until you see Hitmen, the new original comedy series from Sky. It shouldn't work - but it so does. In association with Sky.
Bruce Dessau, The Sun, 27th April 2020Hitmen, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins's first scripted comedy, has a dreadful premise: two gauche assassins, bitching and bonding in their van while various hooded bodies thrash about in handcuffs before meeting - or possibly not, dependent on whim - a canal-based doom. It could have been done very, very badly. It's done pretty damned well: that chemistry, of course, but also many decent gags.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 29th March 2020TV review: Hitmen, series 1 episode 1
They might not be that well known for their acting skills but both Mel and Sue convince in roles which aren't of the type they normally take on, the rest of the cast are damn superb, and it's a sitcom that not only has a very strong first episode but also which shows a great deal of potential too.

Rupert Hawksley, i Newspaper, 25th March 2020Hitmen, review
Mel and Sue as contract killers? They're better off sticking to presenting.
