Dominic Lees, The Conversation, 27th January 2023Deep Fake Neighbour Wars review
This rage-baiting show isn't funny or weird enough. So cheaply made, and so aggressively underwritten, that, even at just 20-minutes, it makes you intensely conscious of your own mortality.

Mind-boggling technology, mind-numbing jokes.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 26th January 2023Deep Fake Neighbour Wars review
