British Comedy Guide, 19th February 2025Amandaland Episode 3 review
Superbly laugh out loud stuff with Amanda coming across a lot more sympathetic than you might have initially thought. Excuse me now, I have to take my dog for his morning Puppuccino.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th February 2025The star of Amandaland is needy, arrogant, self-centred and shallow - and I love her
As portrayed by Lucy Punch, Amanda is one of TV's most unlikeable characters, devoid of humility in reduced circumstances yet determined not to go down with a fight.

Producers put a leaflet through my door, took over my house... and you'll never belive what they did to my son's bedroom.
Joanne Hart, Daily Mail, 13th February 2025Amandaland episode two review
You can tell a comedy series has taken off when people who don't usually discuss sitcoms are discussing it.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 12th February 2025Amandaland review
A superbly silly Motherland spin-off. The tragicomic adventures of the delusional Amanda make for rich comedy fodder.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Financial Times, 11th February 2025Amandaland review
Lucy Punch has never been better.
Charlotte O'Sullivan, The Independent, 6th February 2025Amandaland review
The first thing you notice about Amandaland is how similar it is to its predecessor. The second thing you notice is that you miss Julia, Liz, Meg and Kevin. And the third, after a while, is that their absence doesn't actually matter that much, as the Motherland spin-off proves itself a just as cruelly delightful as the original.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 6th February 2025Amandaland review
Dame Joanna sweeps up laughs like an aristocratic shoplifter on a spree.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 6th February 2025Amandaland review
I wouldn't go as far as to say that Amandaland breaks any new ground, but it is full of brilliantly observed, gloriously funny social observations that really hit home. And most importantly it will make you laugh.
