Cold Feet, Series 8, ITV, review - mortality lite
The cast return once more to pull sad faces and silly faces.
Jasper Rees, The Arts Desk, 15th January 2019Cold Feet review
As ever, Mike Bullen's writing offers an astute understanding of the everyday travails of middle age.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 15th January 2019Writer Mike Bullen's Manchester midlife comedy returns with a lively opener that sees both wedding and alarm bells ringing. David and Karen confront parenting problems, Pete turns lifesaver and, best of all, failing lothario Adam gets a lesson in how to embrace his age and why it's OK to go on Tinder.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 14th January 2019Cold Feet: still radiating warmth after all these years
Wedding bells were ringing on Cold Feet (ITV) but for whom? The series opened with an irresistible sequence set at a handsome North Wales wedding venue, teasing us that one of the central characters was getting hitched. Again.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 14th January 2019Cold Feet beginning to show its age
The old gang are back - again - but the frailties of middle age make for more mordant TV than the mishaps of youth.
