Return to Form

Relief to see to this fantastic series back on track after last week's mediocre opener to series 6. Darkly multi layered in its exploration of fan obsession with a TV series and how the most ardent are far more invested than the the writers themselves.

Inside "Inside no.9" 's comfort zone

Following last week's pyrotechnic, thrilling (if chaotic) comic outburst, this is a retreat into the safe zone for Inside no.9, a straight-down-the-middle effort. It works, for sure: this plot is from a formula which they have perfected over the years. But for me, playing it safe is not the show's main selling point.

Loved it!

Back to proper Inside No 9.

It was almost like they gave us the first episode just so we'd love up on this one.

Almost like the plot eh...?

Loved how dark this was, with PROPER twists and as a GoT fan it made it even better. Banger of an episode!

That's more like it!!!

After last week's disastrous episode I was incredibly worried the new season was going to be absolutely dribble but I was wrong! This episode had so many amazing twists that the ending genuinely shocked me,this episode was obviously a nod to game of thrones season 8 and I found it absolutely hilarious with pemberton's character being a delusional snob like the writers of GoG. The whole concept of the episode was really great along with Spencer's character arc. Great episode guy's hopefully the rest follow along!

Okay, a bit obvious

Better than episode 1 but just okay. Obvious twists and highly implausible scenario. Also lacked anyone at all to empathise with by the end, so hard to care. Could do with the new contemporary references calming down.

Trivia
When Spencer tells his agent he had a swift drink after the awards ceremony "with Eddie", he means Eddie Izzard. The writers thought it would be funny to have Spencer as one of the comedian's friends.
