TV review: Year of the Rabbit
This Victorian comedy caper is lively, bawdy fun.
Sarah Carson, i Newspaper, 10th June 2019Year of the Rabbit review
Silly and gleefully sweary ... but where were the gags?
Tim Dowling, The Guardian, 10th June 2019Year Of The Rabbit is stupid, filthy and brilliant
It was gloriously stupid, tightly written, superbly acted and absolutely filthy.
Ian Hyland, The Mirror, 10th June 2019Year of the Rabbit is a strange but funny beast
It's tempting to just write down all the best one-liners and jokes so you know how good they are, but it would be impossible to do justice to the actors' deadpan delivery. Never has extreme physical violence and brutal murder been so hilarious.

If that alone isn't reason enough to tune in, the guest stars include Sally Phillips, Keeley Hawes and Taika Waititi.
