It’s attempting to educate its audience on a complex topic, to craft a recognisable narrative about a university graduate moving to London, with a protagonist whose misadventures swing dramatically from the humorous to the heartbreaking. Pure doesn’t get this mix quite right in the first episode. ... But the ingredients are all there, and Pure shows a real potential to not only entertain, but add a much-needed layer of depth and complexity to our understanding of mental health.

Pure is a better illustration of OCD and its debilitating effects than it is a portrait of a young woman who has it, even with a fantastically versatile turn by Clive. ... Well-meaning but by-the-numbers series.
