The Observer (UK)Barbara EllenSep 10, 2024
Season 1 Review: At times, it all feels like a slightly stoned, heavily costumed 1990s/00s panto (and one with a sizeable debt to Blackadder and Taika Waititi’s recent pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death) – but it’s nicely droll and silly, with a wry, surrealist kick. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Dick Turpin is an enjoyable romp, and a fun watch, but it left me thinking “what if?” more than “what next?”. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There are recurring gags (like dog walker Linda whose strolls take her past every hideout the gang has), there are knowing and ironic gags, there are purely silly gags and there are across the genre ones that work and ones that don’t. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s nothing strictly wrong with The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin — just that it’s underwhelming, especially considering the talents lining its cast list. There’s plenty to laugh about if you know where to look, but ultimately, you’re probably better off listening to “Stand and Deliver” than watching this non-committal gang shout it at coaches.

Season 1 Review: It’s a frothy and inconsequential comedy, and the snappy, jaunty score by Oli Parker and Nate Jackson is an anachronistic plus. But it’s hard not to crave more from your historical comedies. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While we like Fielding in the lead role, The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin mostly misses the mark when it comes to the silly gags that permeate the first episode. Read full review
