Critics Consensus

While Southcliffe's meticulously-crafted drama is at times more admirable than entertaining, it's grounded by exceptional performances and a strong sense of place.

Gerard O'Donovan Daily Telegraph (UK) They gave an amazing cast the means to connect viscerally with audiences and allow the raw emotion of the story to do the work, all the way to its bleakly resigned close. Rated: 5/5 Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) Southcliffe was an exercise in poise and pacing, skipping backwards and forwards in time, ramping up tension as we moved inexorably towards the dire outcome. Rated: 4/5 Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Arifa Akbar Independent (UK) It might not be the cheeriest TV, but as far as bleakness goes, this is rare and brilliant Sunday-night viewing. Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Stu Whittaker What Culture Southcliffe is the best British programme I have seen in a long time, it is daring, dark and artistic in a way that many writers would fear to replicate or even endure for their screenplays. Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Alex Fletcher Digital Spy It's 50 minutes of harrowing television. Brilliant television, but harrowing. Not one to watch if you're having a bad day. Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Tom Birchenough The Arts Desk Southcliffe's only redeeming story element came in its closing scenes, when that doomed hand-over appeared to have been averted. Scant consolation, strong drama. Rated: 4/5 Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
