Everyone Else Burns attempts "edgy" comedy - but ends up predictable

Like so many supposedly funny shows just lately, this sitcom about an extreme Christian sect isn't funny enough.

Everyone Else Burns review

Channel 4's latest isn't funnier-than-thou - but it does have some bright spots.

Hellfire and heathens: the making of Everyone Else Burns

"Everything's funnier if you're worried that your family might be obliterated by divine fire."

Vicky Jessop, Evening Standard, 23rd January 2023

Everyone Else Burns review

Everyone Else Burns, written by relative newcomers Dillon Mapletoft and Oliver Taylor, is a strikingly fresh sitcom while at the same time touching on some instantly recognisable tropes - the family dynamic, dad worried about his status, rivalry, meddling neighbours. It takes a few swipes at religion but actually in a fairly benign way.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd January 2023

It's the end of the world... and it's remarkably mundane.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 23rd January 2023

Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 23rd January 2023

Everyone Else Burns review

Your prayers for a new bingeworthy British sitcom have been answered.

Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 23rd January 2023

Everyone Else Burns review

Channel 4 sitcom about an apocalypse-obsessed cult is a comedy worth believing in.
