The Reckoning tv series

"Coogan captures the charm and creepy depravity of the notorious abuser. But this is a horrific tale most of us already know –and [this] depressing drama adds little of value (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A relentlessly grim, nauseating and blood-boiling watch (...) McKay and Pope have delivered a drama that justifies its existence, which is crucial. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"This extraordinary horror story is still more relevant than many of us would like to believe (...) an important show that demands to be seen. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A tour de force performance cannot mask the fact that the Corporation has chosen to go easy on itself in this queasy drama (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"This is a show clearly made extremely thoughtfully, and with a huge amount of care and consideration and craft (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Steve Coogan delivers a powerfully slithering performance as Jimmy Savile (...) it is disappointing that a series about one of Britain’s favourite entertainers should be so lacking in soul-searching." 

"The Reckoning' handles its sensitive subject matter with the utmost care (...) It might feel impossible not to look at Savile through a 2023 lens, but the series is also careful not to amp him up into a pantomime villain (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
