    It is a delight to see Dawn French and Julie Hesmondhalgh teamed up, and more than generously supported by a formidable cast including Mark Heap, John Macmillan, Vicki Pepperdine, and Chetna Pandya. The premise of this six-part drama set in a picturesque, close-knit English village is an excellent and irresistibly intriguing one.

    A thriller of sorts—there are plenty of dark forces here—with a strong sitcom sensibility, “The Trouble With Maggie Cole” is a rollicking drama that shines with life.

    It is a cautionary tale; who among us can say we’ve never gossiped about someone and said things that we would hate for them to hear? But it strikes a curious tone. ... French and Heap are the only ones playing for laughs. But when every other new show is a police procedural, period adaptation or domestic thriller, at least it’s aiming for something different.
