Mum finale review
Slowly, clasped hand by clasped hand, writer Stefan Golaszewski has dismantled Cathy's barriers and subtly probed the levels of her grief.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 20th June 2019Mum, Series 3 finale, BBC Two review
Tears of laughter and sadness.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 20th June 2019Mum review - the mouse that roared, and about time too
Finally it came and, lord, it was about time. A retort of only eight words, but enough to shift the power balance in Mum and, at last, relieve the viewing public's cancerous knot. For three series Cathy (Lesley Manville), a picture of forbearance in a sensible blouse, has failed to push back and let rip at the family grotesques who blithely misuse and diminish her.
The Times, 20th June 2019The magnificent final series ends exactly as any fan would like, with relief and new tenderness in the aftermath of Cathy (Lesley Manville) and Michael (Peter Mullan) going public with their love. The last shot is a peach, and there are tiny payoffs in every scene as the show's principle of not vocalising its emotions is relaxed by just the right amount. In the middle, though, is one heart-stopping moment of sadness and rage to remind us that all this sunny kookiness is underscored by grief. Exquisite.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 19th June 2019Mum, series 3 finale, review
A perfect end to a perfect show - bring on the Baftas.
