Entertainment WeeklyJosh Wolk
Season 1 Review: The reliably hilarious supporting cast of family members and friends--quirky without being cartoonish--makes a creaky zit subplot forgivable. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamara
Season 1 Review: Gavin & Stacey is a gem of a show -- funny, touching and welcome proof that the romantic comedy can and will survive irony, Botox, Judd Apatow and all the vagaries of the modern age. Read full review
