Season 1 Review:
It is overall fast, funny and absolutely furious. Some viewers will love it unreservedly, some will love it all apart from the bits where it takes aim at beliefs they hold dear, some will hate it unreservedly for reasons they can articulate clearly, and some will hate it for daring to exist.

Season 1 Review:
The workplace-comedy trappings and quips that can make this watch enjoyable—thanks in no small part to the comical turns by Ted Lasso’s Nick Mohammed and House Of The Dragon’s Simon Russell Beale, who play a very unfunny comedy writer and a daffy agent, respectively—often feel at odds with the serious things Moffat is trying to say and portray.

Season 1 Review:
The four-part series is at its best when exploring the more nuanced elements of a trial by public opinion and the contemporary media environment. Karen Gillan and Hugh Bonneville are excellent throughout, elevating the material – their performances make Douglas Is Cancelled a mostly worthwhile watch

Season 1 Review:
It's trying to dig into cancel culture, sexism, social media and #MeToo, but does it manage to succinctly pose and answer any of the questions it raises in its four episodes? In some ways, yes and in others, it's such a vast breadth of subjective material that there will be plenty of people (including this writer) who would want the series to go that step further.

Season 1 Review:
Its compelling premise is somewhat obscured by needlessly complicated plotting. Still, for all its flaws, Douglas Is Cancelled has plenty going for it, not least Bonneville himself, totally disarming in his warm but utterly spineless bluster. More importantly for a comedy, I laughed out loud more than once.

Season 1 Review:
The awfulness of Douglas Is Cancelled is not apparent at first, because it starts out as a decent enough comedy. .... Every single male character reveals themselves to be somewhere on the scale between dumb sexist and dangerous predator, so it’s quite some feat that the two female characters come out of this looking worse.
