TV review: Home
Home, the series Rufus Jones has created and written about a Syrian refugee who winds up in Dorking is truly nimble and brilliant.
Camilla Long, The Sunday Times, 9th February 2020Home review
Bad comedy on telly is hardly unusual, but it's rare to see something so dreadful it's actually nauseating. The speeches about Britain's asylum laws, not to mention gay rights in Nigeria, came almost as a relief.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 6th February 2020The comedy about Syrian asylum seeker Sami returns, eight months on from his arrival in the UK. Sami (Youssef Kerkour) is still waiting for his right to remain and in the meantime is getting impatient with his hosts Katy (Rebekah Staton) and Peter (Rufus Jones). An earnest if heavy-handed opener.
Ammar Kalia, The Guardian, 5th February 2020Home, Channel 4, review
Series is high on drama and lacking in laughs for Syrian refugee Sami.
Barbara Speed, i Newspaper, 5th February 2020Home, series 2 episode 1 review
Don't be put off by the premise - Rufus Jones's comedy is a delight.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 5th February 2020Rufus Jones: the "terrifying" challenge of writing home
"Writing never feels easy, so you may as well write about something that matters," says writer/star of the acclaimed comedy.
