"It feels contrived and unrealistic."

"Whether Sold can build into something consistently funny remains to be seen. But with the situation efficiently set up and all the players in place, at least the potential for some decent comedy is there."
"If all this sounds silly and simplistic, that's because it was. But it was also very funny in a slapsticky kind of way. Steve Coombe's script crackled with moronic office speak, with Kris Marshall in particular making good use of one-liners such as: "As of today you are tomorrow's yesterday's man."
Gerard O’Donovan, Daily Telegraph

"What is thrilling is watching Kris Marshall, best known as the drippy boyfriend in the BT adverts, playing someone so wicked. He's shockingly good. And that is where the allure of this ridiculous, unbelievable, camp series lies - in the battle of good and evil you are rooting for both. You know each have to become more like each other - and that's worth watching."

"None of this quite rings true."

"Antandec can still do it, even if ‘it’ is quite predictable."

"Imagine The Odd Couple remade as a telly series by David Lynch, and you’ll get some idea of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt’s beguilingly trippy comic universe."
