Inside No. 9 - Love Is A Stranger review

Claire Rushbrook shines in an Inside No. 9 episode about looking for love in all the wrong places.

Inside No. 9 review

Love Is A Stranger was an expertly conceived, written and acted piece of television about the horrors of online dating. Claire Rushbrook's performance was beautifully restrained, oozing shy vulnerability as a series of hideous men popped up on her laptop screen, played by Mathew Horne, Shearsmith and Pemberton, plus Frances Barber as a ghastly woman selling diets to lonely women. Then, finally, a man who seemed nice, played by Asim Chaudhry. It kept you guessing as to who was the "lonely hearts killer" until the final seconds, then pulled the rug again. Small but perfectly formed television.

Inside Inside No. 9

Death. Dancing. Denial. Depression. Dishes best served cold. Who doesn't love a dark, twisty tale from the BBC Two television phenomenon that is Inside No. 9?

Inside No 9: Paraskevidekatriaphobia review

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton can be forgiven for a little bit of showing off in titling their latest Inside No. 9 "Paraskevidekatriaphobia" - the fear of Friday the 13th - though this episode, for the most part, is a (relatively) conventional farce.

Inside No 9: Paraskevidekatriaphobia review

A surprisingly natural cameo from Dermot O'Leary was a highlight of this week's episode, but you can see the twists from a mile away.

Inside No. 9: Mother's Ruin review

I've always liked the creepy episodes the most, an episode involving necromancy, possession and graphic torture is the perfect way to kick off the season.

Inside No. 9 Series 8 review

After an underwhelming seventh outing, the anthology series is firmly back on track.

David Craig, Radio Times, 27th April 2023

Inside No. 9: Mother's Ruin review

Pemberton and Shearsmith's script skilfully sets up the backstory without ever feeling like laboured exposition - and almost every nugget of information proves crucial to what happens next.
