SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

sclafunk It took me a couple to really get into it. I actually tried watching this show a while back and couldn't make it thru the first episode, "sardines" which in my opinion was the weakest one of the whole 20 plus episode series; after watching all but the last season, which I can't seem to find in the US. Strange for me, Bc I love anthologies and usually give them a few eps before I make a judgment. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for British humor that day, but obviously I ended up giving it another shot a couple nights ago and binged the 6 episode seasons this week. The second episode was creative enough, as well as very well shot and set up from a film making perspective, while a little flawed in overall execution. It did indeed pique my interest enough to keep going; and boy am I glad I did. The first two seem to be the most extreme and straight up dry "British humor" of the entire show. The rest of the episodes get super dark, and less goofy, some straying away from pure comedy all together, whilst still maintaining a dark comedic tone. Some Hardly have any humor at all and resemble The Twilight Zone more than Mr Bean, these are also some of the best episodes. It's a truly eclectic mix, and some sick twists occur across the entire show, none that I really saw coming. I'm so glad I came back and watched this, good anthologies are far too few these days. As with all anthologies, however there are hits and misses, even their misses that I wished woulda been a little better have plenty of redeeming value, far far more hits than misses. All of the acting is superb. Stick with it if the first 2 episodes don't get really suck you in right away, honestly I would almost recommend starting with episode 2 or 3 and then going back to the first two after you get a feel for their style. I had never really heard of these guys before this but it seems they have a couple other shows they wrote together that have earned a watch from me, based on my enjoyment Of Inside No 9. Must watch for anthology fans. Go in knowing as little as possible.......

bgsmall The quality of the plots and the writing is excellent. The former (current?) league of gentleman X2 writers / actors / directors (?) make good use of mixing up the time-frames of different scene's so you have to follow carefully.Each episode tells a different story some macabre, some funny, some bittersweet, shocking, dissapointing (you get the picture). However, the stand out performance for me was from Sheridan Smith in Season 2, Episode 2. This is the must watch episode and deserving of a 10/10.

StellarDread3 Inside No 9 is another creation from Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith who together had created Psychoville and were a huge part in creating The League of Gentlemen, two very good dark humour comedy shows with less then a decade between them and three years after Psychoville had ended Inside No 9 was born.The best way to describe Inside No 9 is by calling it an anthology show with loads of horror, drama and comedy in it whilst being set in or around a number 9. Each episode has it's own story and they are usually creative, original and interesting which for half an hour per episode is very good.Most of the episodes are amazing works of art whilst some others may not have what the others do to be great, but with it being an anthology show is good because if you do not like one episode you may like another. The stories of this show are very good as you could have an episode about people playing sardines in a wardrobe, a witch trial or even an episode about an art exhibit. If this show lacks in one area it will more then likely make up for it somewhere else.It is best not to say too much about this show as it can be easily spoiled, so if you think you will like this show give it a try the worst that can happen is that you will lose about half an hour, but if it goes well you will have a new show to watch.If you like The League of Gentlemen or Psychoville there is a very high chance you will like this and also if you like dark humour you will probably love this show. Remember this is my opinion not yours, have a good one :)

ianlouisiana But I can see that it won't be everyone's cup of tea.There are no jokes,no funny foreigners,no silly voices and no kids,cute or otherwise. It is insidiously involving however and the first episode:- "Sardines" had a great cast and a killer ending. Set at a middle - class family party in a big old house where patriarch Mr.Timothy West thinks it's still 1955,a game of sardines is in progress with all the characters eventually hiding in a big wardrobe in a bedroom. Familial tensions simmer as the members are forced into close proximity with one another and an appalling secret is revealed at the end. With most of the action going on in what is in effect a large cupboard, the cast interact beautifully and here I must mention the great Miss K.Parkinson who is the first face we see and to whom the eye is drawn even when she is not the focus of attention. Mr S.Pemberton - the sublime Mick Garvey from "Benidorm" quietly seethes with hatred and resentment throughout what is actually nobody's idea of a TV comedy series - more a bleak tale of convoluted relationships and the things we humans do to each other and try to justify. With that caveat,don't expect many belly - laughs. But it is fascinating stuff nonetheless and together with "Uncle" and "House of fools",reason enough to think that the BBC has it's mojo back.
