GameFace review
Roisin Conaty serves up sexual frankness and women-behaving-badly comedy.
Peter Crawley, The Irish Times, 18th July 2019As a second season of Roisin Conaty's gawky, impeccably written comedy begins, lonely Marcella bags a date with her dreamy driving instructor; endures more life-coaching sessions with bonkers therapist Karl; and winds up getting called "Prankie Boyle". Cheeky, tender, filthy fun.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 17th July 2019Review: GameFace, C4
Main female character with a chaotic life, dishy enigmatic male, boozy friends, embarrassing sexual scenarios, therapy sessions...it's impossible to write about Roisin Conaty's GameFace without at least noting some of the similarities with Fleabag.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th July 2019GameFace series 2 review
Roisin Conaty's sitcom has got a deserved promotion to Channel 4 for its second series, and things seem to be going well for her character, Marcella, too. She's finally got an acting job - the opening slo-mo sequence follows her preparing backstage en route to the spotlight - and she's even passed her driving test.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 17th July 2019GameFace review - irresistible comedy
Roisin Conaty's sitcom about the perils of being a thirtysomething single woman packs in the punchlines, leaving a sense of joy in its wake.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 17th July 2019GameFace, Channel 4, series 2, episode 1, review
In the sitcom's second series, characters remain well-drawn and the scenarios feel grounded in a very specific type of London reality.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 17th July 2019Roisin Conaty will fill the Fleabag hole in your life
Move over, Phoebe - there's a new queen of confessional comedy. Prepare for an offbeat world of tiny Dolly Partons and cats who eat kebabs.
Julia Raeside, The Guardian, 16th July 2019I talk to Roisin Conaty
