The English Game (TV Miniseries)

"[It] is the series we need right now with the absence of the sport (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"Maybe 'The English Game' will find the audience cross-section that loves sports drama and tight-corset period pieces — and those people probably will be underwhelmed." 

"For all its flaws then, the show feels like it has the potential to be a breakout hit (...) This sort of comfort food telly could be just the ticket at a time when the world is throwing challenges enough at all of us (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"I liked 'Belgravia', but the first episode of this instantly struck me as more fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"It’s terrible (...) It is impossible not to suspect there is someone poised behind the camera with whip raised, forcing them through this stuff (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)" 

"What starts out as a football-centred drama series in the 1870's quickly becomes a watchable rollercoaster of emotions with more edge to it than 'Downton Abbey' ever had." 

"Created by 'Downton Abbey's' Julian Fellowes, you know what you’re in for, and you know you can trust that the intricacy in the details won’t be overlooked (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
