Red Dwarf XII episode 3 review: Timewave

Ironically this episode about criticism is attracting a lot of the stuff. It's for good reason though, because 'Timewave' is regrettably a confusing mess.

Sophie Davies, Cult Box, 27th October 2017

Red Dwarf XII - Timewave review

How apt that an episode themed on the subject of criticism should end up being not all that great.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 26th October 2017

Red Dwarf XII episode 3 review: Timewave

We'd go so far as to say it's the worst since the Dave era began with Back To Earth.

Mark Harrison, Den Of Geek, 20th October 2017
