The GuardianChitra RamaswamyMar 25, 2025
Season 2 Review: The Change is ambitious, surreal, moving, and above all hysterically funny. It is unlike anything else on TV. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The Change is a tender, curious, hilarious treasure: a rare and special specimen that must be protected like the last mushroom of its kind in the forest. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A “sitcom about the menopause” might turn some people off, but they’d be missing one of the most vital, brilliant British comedies in years. This is not just for us overheating women, it makes room for everyone curious to look at things in a different way. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The Change remains one of those stubbornly eccentric TV curios that should be cherished. Read full review

The TimesBen DowellMar 25, 2025
Season 2 Review: Whatever its minor flaws, in a world of big streaming shows, where drama is often done by committee or algorithms, this is a hearty and pleasant reminder of British television's ability to deliver small, hugely personal visions to the small screen. Read full review

The TelegraphChris BennionMar 25, 2025
Season 2 Review: These six episodes feel more comfortable in their own skin than the first run. The Change no longer seems to be apologising for burying its feet in the soil and communing with birds. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerAug 2, 2024
Season 1 Review: The Change is a funny show with a simple premise, which works mostly because of Bridget Christie’s winning performance. Read full review

The TimesCarol MidgleyJul 30, 2024
Season 1 Review: It was a fresh, quirky, funny take on a zeitgeisty theme and I wonder why the estimable Christie hasn’t had her own comedy series before. Read full review

The GuardianEllen E JonesJul 30, 2024
Season 1 Review: The Change strides purposefully towards its culmination, in a revamped, gender-balanced version of the village’s annual festival. Linda features centrally in this, of course, in a series of sensational outfits (we’re calling it Sheela-na-gig chic), while delivering speeches on the stages of womanhood that are genuinely affecting.

The TelegraphAnita Singh Jul 30, 2024
Season 1 Review: Christie is on fine form as a woman reclaiming her life. .... Christie has described the show as “Shirley Valentine meets Deliverance” and while Linda’s home life is done well – Liza Tarbuck is reliably good as her domineering sister – the Deliverance bit is the problem.
