The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin tv series

"As wickedly fun as its title" 

"There’s nothing strictly wrong with 'The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin' — just that it’s underwhelming, especially considering the talents lining its cast list" 

"Both shows play fast and loose with history, embrace their limited budgets, and waft along on a breeze of wacky hijinks and witty dialogue. And though 'Made-Up Adventures' lacks 'Our Flag’s' raw emotionality, it’s still a very good time" 

"It's airy, and like any breeze its impact is minor and fleeting. But it's fun while it lasts, and asks nothing more of us than to sit back and let the show do its thing" 

"Afloat in a kind of timeless comedy sea, or stew, where the circumstances and conventions of Hanoverian England are subjected to a modern sense of humor" 

"This is not to say that 'Dick Turpin' isn’t lighthearted fun: it’s a frothy and inconsequential comedy, and the snappy, jaunty score by Oli Parker and Nate Jackson is an anachronistic plus. But it’s hard not to crave more from your historical comedies" 

"[It] is an outlandishly good time. Noel Fielding is an absolute gem as Dick Turpin (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
