The Telegraph Anita Singh

Dec 2, 2022

Season 1 Review: If Time made prison seem like a descent into hell, Screw portrays it as more akin to a hotel with limited amenities but staff determined that you enjoy your stay. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Remains a well-served blend of broiling menace and leavening wit. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Rob Williams, Screw's writer, used to teach in prisons and his richer observations show in the script. He portrays the dark and light with equal conviction. Read full review

i Ed Power

Aug 30, 2023

Season 2 Review: With O’Donnell and Sosanya putting in commanding turns, Screw was certainly watchable, but it needs to work out what sort of prison drama it wants to be. At the moment, it’s an unsatisfying blend of thriller and soap with occasional laughs. This clunker in the clinker is trying to be too many things at once. Read full review
