British Comedy Guide, 2nd April 2020This Country review
This Country has, over its three series, been willing to cover issues of more seriousness.
Noah Keate, The Boar, 2nd April 2020The best in homegrown humour, bar almost none, came to a wistful end. The third series of Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper's This Country has delighted, angered, enthralled and baffled to an inordinate extent, and I'm heart-sorry to see it go. There's a Kurtan and a Kerry living on in every misbegotten, under-endowed Cotswold and Chiltern village, every village in Britain, with their tiny horizons and their big, confused hearts. To have identified that well-intentioned, dumb, thrawn, glorious strata of society is the legacy of the Cooper twins. Also, a beautiful final in-joke.

This Country is not a series that benefits from extensive hype: it is perhaps best discovered for yourself, either on DVD or on the BBC iPlayer. But it is nevertheless, quite brilliant, a wonderful, low key, comic delight.

Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 23rd March 2020Farewell to This Country, a modern-day masterpiece
Like so many great British series, This Country is quitting while it's ahead - but Sean O'Grady hopes this is not truly the end of the road for the Mucklowes.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 23rd March 2020This Country finale, BBC3, review
The sitcom was a warm, mocking look at a British village where the views are nice, but there's eff all to do.
