Critics' reviews

"One of the things I’ve always liked about the two men’s work is that they understand that a reflexive turn toward pessimism is just as unrealistic as being reflexively sentimental and optimistic."

Todd VanDerWerff: AV Club
"[It] is as wickedly, painfully funny as the first two seasons and, in tiny, fleeting doses, as delicately tender."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"Britain's very finest television comedy got the ending both it and we deserved."

Kathryn Flett: The Guardian
