Critic Reviews
Score: 4.5
Ximena Smith • Stuff NZ • Jan 14, 2023
"This delightful new black comedy series...The first episode with Dawn French is both utterly charming and uproariously funny, and I cackled at French's description of what should be done to her former lovers upon her departure."
Score: 5
Henrietta McKervey • Irish Independent • Dec 21, 2022
"In the wrong hands, this could be either a simper-fest or ghoulish, but Burke’s cackling irreverence takes the sting out of death for guests and listeners alike."
Score: 4.5
Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian • Dec 3, 2022
"Burke, though not a bad interviewer, isn’t as probing as some, but it doesn’t really matter. This isn’t Question Time, it’s a laugh, and Burke’s so thoroughly lovely that you feel as though any guest will shine as hard as they can, just to hear her filthy smoker’s cackle."
Score: 2
James Marriot • The Times UK • Dec 2, 2022
"Ah, it’s all right, I suppose. The “death” theme is a decent structuring idea. Unfortunately, even death fails to focus the minds of Burke and French. The thing needs order, structure and rules! I found myself itching for the presence of a BBC producer to codify the rather random questions into a set of efficient interviewing tools to extract proper answers and anecdotes."
