Barbara Ellen, The Observer, 26th November 2023Boat Story's shocking opening leans on one of TV's most irritating clichés
The dark BBC One crime drama opens with a grisly flash-forward. It's a trope that's been used to death in recent years - and viewers are starting to see through it, writes Louis Chilton.
Louis Chilton, The Independent, 21st November 2023Boat Story review
If Tarantino made a zombie film, you wouldn't see this much gore.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 20th November 2023Boat Story review
It's weird, violent, funny and heartwarming all at once, all while telling a multi-layered crime story. In short, it's excellent.

Daisy Haggard and Paterson Joseph are the only reason to watch.
