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.

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

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.
