David Knox TV Tonight AU 1d
4.5
Davies sews the seeds of awkward tension, prejudice and humour which Cumming and Morrisey deftly handle to great effect. Go to Full Review
Geordie Gray The Australian 1d
The speechifying is inelegant and takes you out of it. But Davies is too mischievous, funny and humane to just be a hectoring bore. Go to Full Review

5/5
Tip Toe practically stomps in, boldly calling for history to not repeat itself. Davies has done it again, creating another landmark show that captures the queer zeitgeist.  Go to Full Review

5/5
More than just a series about the LGBTQ+ community, it's a warning to society as a whole and a reminder that hate can quickly become normalized and that equality should never be taken for granted. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

5/5
Cumming and Morrissey take centre stage in a tour de force drama from Davies. Perfectly paced and smartly written from start to finish, Tip Toe is mandatory viewing that deserves our undivided attention. Go to Full Review

Guillermo W @Guille013 13h It has been at least a couple of years since I was so moved by a TV series. Alan Cummings is absolutely brilliant. See more Beryl H @goldantonella 23h Just finished it and genuinely feel hauntingly hollow and shell shocked, wow. Even though you know that’s how it ends, I really thought it would be an accident... Very dark and very believable. Insane television. See more Kelley C @harlequin6902 1d I did at times find it very contrived as a piece, and a few too many on the nose speeches. See more Louise B @joreygray 3d Personally I thought it was fantastic. See more Zelma H @Zelma 3d Even though we knew how it would end throughout, the final 15 minutes was genuinely one of the most harrowing things I've ever seen on TV... I thought it was brilliant. See more Kathryn H @hillycat 4d Just finished! My head is spinning and emotionally I have so many emotions right now, scared because of the direction we are going to as a society.
