Critic Reviews

Radio Times Abby Robinson

Dec 11, 2024

Following on from Derry Girls is no small feat, but Big Boys holds its own. It's warm, chock-full of personality and very funny. Read full review

The Independent Adam White

Dec 11, 2024

Big Boys borrows its plot tropes and supporting cast – the swot, the posh girl, the wise gay elder – from a host of sitcom classics set within universities, The Young Ones and Fresh Meat among them. But .... Rooke’s perspective adds further flavours to the mix. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Dec 11, 2024

Although it is gentler and less frenetic, Big Boys’ combination of frankness, heart and wit – and the seriousness with which it treats young people and the problems they face – evokes the mighty Sex Education. At the same time, Rooke makes it entirely its own thing – and one that can pierce your heart when you least expect it. Read full review

The Times Carol Midgley

Dec 11, 2024

It’s one of the most funny, tender, profound sad-happy comedies I’ve seen this year and is worth anyone’s time, not just because it tackles the themes of grief, coming of age and sexuality with a beautifully light touch, but because the cast give the impression that they love performing it.

The Telegraph Anita Singh

There are plenty of laughs, but at its heart this is the story of a friendship that you dearly hope will work out. Read full review
