TV Critics: Mutiny; How’d You Get So Rich?; Broadchurch; The Nightly Show

“Mutiny was great, sadistically entertaining fun. We could have a ghoulish treat on our hands.”
Gabriel Tate, The Telegraph

“The abysmal conditions made Mutiny pretty gripping. Though navigating the psychological turmoil between the men beat watching them struggle to urinate in a 72-hour downpour.”
Daisy Wyatt, The i

“All this proved a depressing reminder that there’s no human achievement that cannot be reduced by reality TV cameras to a succession of toilet gags, shallow whinges and tearful group hugs.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“Mutiny is The Island With Bear Grylls without the island or the bear.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

“Extraordinary. Good television too – more interesting than Bear’s Island because of the historical element.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“Katherine Ryan is hilarious. And totally gets involved. She’s totally non-judgmental and she gets so much more out of them because of it. They love her. I do too if I’m honest. And the show.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“Ryan demonstrates a pretty rare talent, one which involves being very funny without losing sight of the living, beating hearts of others. Perhaps even more rarely, it also involves maintaining a comedy persona while not forgetting to be genuine.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

“After the chaotic bloat of series two, there’s a clarity and care to the narrative that makes me rather regret its imminent demise.”
Gabriel Tate, The Telegraph

“The cast, especially the phenomenal Julie Hesmondhalgh as rape survivor Trish, keep disrupting textbook passages with moments of dynamite. It may be slow, but it’s also unmissable.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“Not even a Bishop could save this unholy mess. Slated by critics and deserted by viewers in its debut week, this ailing, awkwardly paced production still needs urgent surgery.”
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph
