Drama Sarah seems to have found her calling working in a Liverpool care home where she has a special talent for connecting with the residents. Then, in March 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic hits.

	Media	Author	Review
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Comer and Graham remain faultless to the end, and the first hour is a fine addition to the wealth of pandemic testimonies (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lauren Morris Radio Times	"The main highlight of the two-hour film is Comer’s chemistry with Graham (...) The drama shines a light on a community that didn’t get enough credit for their work last year (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Abby Robinson Digital Spy	"One of the most important shows of the Covid era. The care home drama is a must-watch."
		Katie Rosseinsky London Evening Standard	"Plenty of TV dramas have already attempted to grapple with the human cost of the pandemic (...) but this will surely be remembered as one of the best (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"An effective template for storytellers looking to engage with a crisis that’s still ongoing."
		Carol Midgley The Times	"It is rare that a TV drama manages to be agonising and compelling; unbearable yet utterly immersive. 'Help' was such a drama (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Sabrina Barr Metro	"Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham drama is a vital watch and haunting reminder of pandemic’s impact (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		John Serba Decider	"'Help' isn't an easy watch. But the performances, writing, direction, tone and themes are uniformly strong, and it keenly balances heart with harsh reality"
