"The show happened by accident": cult comedy Inside No. 9 shuts its doors
As Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith call time on their grimly hilarious TV anthology, they and their collaborators from a decade of darkness discuss how it was all done.
Daniel Dylan Wray, The Guardian, 8th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
Some may call this episode one that lacks major innovation or twists, and it may admittedly be in some way overshadowed by next week's anticipated mystery to come, even this story feels in some way indebted to this particular unknown. However "Curse of the Ninth" is a tremendously well made and delivered horror story, with the central character being morally tortured and pushed by his passions but afflicted by his regrets, and the story escalating nicely, after opening with a literal bang, and concluding with a genuinely scary crescendo
Jack Bottomley, Starburst Magazine, 6th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
What Curse of the Ninth does show is that Shearsmith and Pemberton are never short on ambition and even after all this time still prepared to try something different and never coast.

The penultimate episode fails to resonate.
David Craig, Radio Times, 5th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
A deliciously gothic tale in the style of Edgar Allan Poe and MR James, The Curse Of The Ninth is a quintessential episode of Inside No. 9.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 5th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
Inside No. 9's penultimate story is an elegant, Edwardian-set M.R. James homage.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 5th June 2024Inside No. 9 duo on ending the series: "I think we've made our mark"
Speaking in this week's issue of Radio Times magazine, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith reflected on their years of working together and explained why it's a good time to bow out.
Morgan Cormack, Radio Times, 3rd June 2024Inside No. 9: CTRL/ALT/ESC review
I think as a general rule Inside No 9's end badly. I think this one actually ended happily. Or did it?
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th May 2024Inside No. 9: CTRL/ALT/ESC review
In what has been another incredible series of the greatest show on television right now, from Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, we have already seen much in way of variety, but this week's episode "CTRL/ALT/ESC" just might be the one to bookmark thus far.
Jack Bottomley, Starburst Magazine, 30th May 2024Inside No. 9's CTRL ALT ESC was right to avoid the darkest ending
We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
