Director Richard Layton, writer Cash Carraway, and the rest of the team, deserve great credit and, in time, some awards, for this evocative but bleak sketch of life at the arse-end of Rishi Sunak’s Britain, a country grown too used to the gross indecency of poverty. It’s a fine memento of our troubled times.

“Rain Dogs” is for more daring viewers and not for those seeking a balm. The half-hour show is rewarding, rich in its characterizations and commanding in its self-awareness, but the journey can be harsh, especially as your hopes for the characters are so often dashed. ... Another compelling thing about “Rain Dogs”: Cooper, whose performance is remarkable, by turns tender, brash, and amusing. ... Extraordinary show.

Rain Dogs certainly won’t be for everyone—least of all those who don’t enjoy caustic, dark English humor—but that’s why it’s so surprising. Here’s one of the first series of the year that doesn’t try to operate on a scale of mass appeal. Instead, it’s focused on itself, making sure that its characters find a way forward for a satisfying tale of what real tenacity looks like.

The unstinting flow of gags about sex, drugs and funeral parlours is not for all markets: it all depends on where you set your tolerance threshold. But Rain Dogs feels at its bravest and angriest when at its funniest. Whenever it tries to wipe the smile off its own face, it slightly camouflages itself as any other drama.

Great show. Hilarious, honest, raw, and authentic. The acting is superb and the writing is just as good. As an American, i enjoy shows about British culture. Let the incels seethe!

Only on episode 3 but I am astonished at how much I like this! Compelling, with characters that are compelling even though they aren’t all that likable.

Sometimes difficult to watch, still very good story of people with toxic relationship, struggling in the modern world. Great.

It's always a huge endorsement of a show when the message board incels descend to drive down the user ratings due to "woke content"

I like it thus far, especially Jack Farthing who's very intriguing as Selby. It took me a while to remember where I'd seen Daisy May Cooper before, and it's Avenue 5 and she's hilarious. I like her here too, and the character has a bit more death.
