Press
Series eight of the midlife melodrama concludes with an ineffectual finale. First we are titillated with rumours that "Adam is seeing someone", which jar incongruously with a moving cancer storyline courtesy of Jen. Next, David plays good Samaritan before everything comes up roses. Too predictable by half.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 18th February 2019Cold Feet has finally become must-watch TV
The drama about middle-class Mancunians has hit its stride at long last - thanks largely to a love affair that's been bubbling under since the 90s.
Sarah Hughes, The Guardian, 18th February 2019Cold Feet, episode 6: review
James Nesbitt's Adam has finally grown up - his relationship with Karen (Hermione Norris/p]) has been a highlight in a superlative series.
