      Tristan C A few episodes passed the time but the humor is not for me. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Mrs. L It’s absolutely brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Green A We found the show's humor not very witty and too over the top. We didn't make it past 2 episodes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Jovy J Seriously funny- no pun intended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review dave b Very droll. The interviews with "very serious people" are so funny. Two words: anal bleaching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Luisa M Philomena Cunk is someone I didn't know I needed in my life. The writing is smart and laughing-out funny paired with amazing improvisational skills from Diane Morgan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Wenlei Ma News.com.au By seeming to take everything and nothing too seriously, mockumentary Cunk on Earth is one of the smartest shows on streaming. Mar 4, 2023 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine The too-short, 5-episode season will surely send you running to YouTube for more Philomena Cunk—and thankfully, the Internet provides. Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune The funniest mockumentary around. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Kathryn Reklis The Christian Century I still find her work hilarious, but it is hard not to worry that this is just catharsis for my despair... Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies British-drenched dry humor offers some hilarious moments and clever takes on history and humanity Rated: 4/4 Feb 25, 2023 Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground Morgan's performance is a marvel, and a perceptive portrait of couldn't-care-less arrogance, ignorance and certainty that plays as an easy-but-still-smart caricature of a growing attitude prevalent online today.
