Press
Despite some middling reviews, the first series of the Jack Dee-fronted comedy about a couple swapping the city for the countryside garnered decent ratings. It returns for a second run, with Steve (Dee) and Nicky (Kerry Godliman) still having problems with their wreck of a home - not least the hole in the ceiling.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 19th September 2018Bad Move: a confusing waste of Jack Dee's talents
The problem - OK, one of the problems - with Bad Move (ITV), Dee's sitcom with Pete Sinclair, which began a second series last night, is that Dee's character Steve is not made unhappy enough.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 19th September 2018Review: Bad Move
Jack Dee's Bad Move is a tired and unimaginative sitcom about life in the countryside.
