SalonMelanie McFarlandNov 5, 2020
Season 1 Review: A nervy black comedy. ... If you enjoy Williams' balance of sweet and dangerous that she serves up here, and the tart assuredness Clifford punches into every line, "Two Weeks to Live" is a ton of fun and nimble to boot. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerNov 5, 2020
Season 1 Review: The fact that we have a solid idea of who Kim is at the outset is more than enough for us. ... While Two Weeks To Live needs to deepen a few other characters, it set up its story very well in its first episode, aided by the fine lead performance of Maisie Williams. Read full review

The GuardianRebecca NicholsonOct 29, 2020
Season 1 Review: The gags are cleverly layered: if there’s ever a cheesy line, it tumbles into a smarter joke, then erupts into some shocking act of violence. While Jay and Nicky trade barbs as if they’re at an Inbetweeners convention, there’s also a decent amount of heart to their relationship, and a thread of grief and loss running through Two Weeks to Live that gives it extra depth. Mostly, though, it survives on the strength of its performances. Read full review

The TimesCarol MidgleyOct 29, 2020
Season 1 Review: It initially felt a bit too "teenage" for a fogey like me. However, it gets better and I don't think it is a coincidence that it improves the more Sian Clifford (aka Claire from Fleabag) is in it. That is not to disparage Maisie Williams's performance as the young Kim. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterInkoo KangNov 5, 2020
Season 1 Review: Slight and stubbornly unfunny, the six-episode series is a diverting-enough showcase for its two female leads. But it also feels lumpy and ungainly, somehow underwritten and overstuffed at the same time. Read full review
