Guardian

Too diffuse and unfocused it may be, but Protein has a hotline into great British bathos.

Rated: 3/5

David Jenkins

Little White Lies

There’re no wheels being reinvented here in terms of tone or narrative, but it is a very solid genre runaround that is elevated by its occasional and welcome lapses into soulful introversion.

Rated: 3/5

Matt Glasby

Radio Times

The combination of comedy, kitchen sink drama and cannibalism is a bold one but, like that human protein shake, it proves an uneasy mix.

Rated: 2/5
