Finding Alice: Season 1

"There are good, funny lines scattered throughout as you might expect from a Nye script... but their sudden deployment generally just adds to the sense of unevenness."

"A series with a lighter take on darker subject matter that comes and goes as easily as a pleasant beach read."

"Maybe you’ve seen more (episodes)... maybe it was great, maybe I’m missing out. Somebody tell me what it was actually about and I’ll have another go."

"It sometimes seemed as if the producers had thrown elements of Grand Designs, Parasite and Cold Feet into the cement mixer and slapped the results on screen."

"It’s difficult to know what to make of this new series, because it doesn’t seem to know what to make of itself."

"It’s really well written, it has dark humour and it manages to talk about the subject of death in a very sensitive way."

"Finding Alice strikes the right balance between drama and comedy, sadness and laughter, with a fine performance by Keeley Hawes at its centre."

"Nigel Havers and Joanna Lumley make the perfect lemon-meringue-pie contrast as Alice’s parents, one sharp, the other sweetly fluffy."
