4/5
Thoughtful contributions also emerge from singer-activist M.I.A., alert to the western bias of social media, and the novelist Nadifa Mohamed, who challenges some of Welsh's assumptions. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 11/18/2020
3/5
Welsh probed and prodded with great warmth, intelligence and skill, but Offended By Irvine Welsh was more of an essay with a through-line that rarely deviated. Go to Full Review David Butcher Radio Times 11/18/2020
Irvine Welsh brings his cosh to the culture wars for this brisk look at giving and taking offense. As he explores provocative art, comedy and fiction, it would take an iron constitution not to be offended by something he looks at: that's the point.

3/5
Everyone involved makes a decent, rational case for their view to the point that you start to wonder what everyone is actually arguing about. Nuance might not be welcome on social media, but it's perfectly at home in a Sky Arts doc. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 11/18/2020
3/5
Welsh ought to have been the perfect investigator for this Sky Arts inquiry into the creeping threat of cultural policing, but he seemed slightly uncertain... Be that as it may, he had tracked down some bracingly opinionated interviewees. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
