Season 1 Review: There are moments when “The Full Monty” veers a little too close to schmaltz, but it never succumbs. It’s a bittersweet look at the British working class, elevated by a charismatic cast and a tone that, even amid the personal pain and systemic failures, is tinged with optimism. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The movie barely had a plot, the TV version even less so, but it’s charming and at times poignant to see all the ways that Gaz’s world has and hasn’t changed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A sequel that, for all its shortcomings, retains much of its predecessor’s unassuming charm. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There are issues of pacing here, both with the plotting and the dialogue. .... Still, for all the kitchen-sink bleakness, its community spirit still crackles with warmth, offering glimmers of hope. Read full review

Season 1 Review: On paper, it’s a good idea—and there are moments when it delivers on that potential. Yet the overall randomness and dearth of joy in this Full Monty, whose full season arrives June 14 on Hulu, make it a puzzling follow-up to a film that charmed millions with its lighthearted social commentary.

Season 1 Review: Despite a few mildly funny escapades, the best efforts of that most-welcome returning cast and some crisp and insightful writing from original “Full Monty” scribe and co-writer Alice Nutter, “The Full Monty” is on balance a dark and gloomy slog that has us wondering if we might have been better off just imagining how these characters’ lives were going to turn out, rather than seeing the often depressing “reality.” Read full review

As I huge lover of the film I was so nervous of a come back but it is beautiful The film spotlights the right to work, friendship, caring responsibilities, suicide and the consequences of a govt abandoning the very people it should represent.

It'sAs I huge lover of the film I was so nervous of a come back but it is beautiful The film spotlights the right to work, friendship, caring responsibilities, suicide and the consequences of a govt abandoning the very people it should represent. The series does all that and so much more. It's darker than the film but then Britain is sadder in a post Boris, post Brexit, post Covid world. I think the stand out theme for me is elderly poverty. Something that perhaps other more right wing nations (Americans - sorry guys!) might not resonate with like us because these issues were not a norm here until recently. And there is still hope of turning back this terrible tide. It's not for me to say if this represents The North but it 100% represents my British fears and does both tenderly & intelligently… Expand
