Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertJun 14, 2023
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 Full Monty” is far from a dutiful retread. It’s charming and deceptively humble, a far more effective tribute to a feel-good touchstone than simply running back the same beats. 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: Some storylines wrap themselves up too neatly for how painful they are but still manage to find their footing. The saving grace to all this comes back down to the characters. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Good, sharply written (and acted) series that lacks the sizzle, pop and magic of the movie. Read full review
