Dan Einav Financial Times The way the set-up of each episode is underpinned by several micro-interactions is promising, and one highlight is seeing [Stephen] Mangan briefly reunite with fellow Green Wing alum, Karl Theobald. Rated: 3/5 Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) I should imagine that practitioners will roll eyeballs at its flagrant liberty-taking. But taken with a pinch of salt, Hang Ups is a ribald skewering of the talking cure that's almost too much of a tasty treat. Rated: 5/5 Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Carol Midgley Times (UK) Mangan's performance is pitch-perfect, if you ask me, as was Steve Oram's as the Brummie psycho Neil, David Tennant's depressed, people-hating waiter and Grant's po-faced psychotherapist. Rated: 4/5 Aug 17, 2018 Full Review James Walton The Spectator At the core of the programme are such old-school virtues as strong central performances, good jokes and an impressively starry supporting cast. Apr 19, 2019 Full Review David Butcher Radio Times Away from the slightly overcooked domestic problems, the online therapy sessions look like they will offer rich comic territory, with a raft of quality cameos including Richard E Grant and, as the hero's testy father, Charles Dance. Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Molli Mitchell Daily Express (UK) Overall, Hang Ups successfully uses comedy to shed light on the importance of mental health without crossing the line.
