‘“Deeply funny”
Observer
“Hugely entertaining”
Spectator
“No Offence is that rare thing, a truly good comedy drama.”
New Statesman
“No Offence is everything Shameless fans could’ve hoped for and more… a gleefully outrageous cop show… an hour of riotously enjoyable television… It's the sort of show that has you spending the first half wondering what the hell's going on, and the second hoping that, whatever it is, will never, ever end.”
Independent
“No Offence is an addictive, funny and disturbing cop show with the glorious humanity of Shameless. Paul Abbott's eight-part police series lurches from the comic to the grim, never letting you get too comfortable. And it makes for a thrilling watch.”

“Filthily funny… No Offence is pacy and provocative, while still emotionally deep enough to make you care.”
Telegraph
“No Offence is bold and rude but not crude. Dark certainly, but also – as you’d expect from Abbott – vibrant, warm, rich and real.”
Guardian
“Exhilarating, ballsy and filthily funny… Channel 4’s brilliant new show No Offence is shaking up the police drama”
Independent
“Mouthy, cocksure and with verve to spare… No Offence is quite extraordinary because it surpasses the expectations of the police procedural while also delivering drama in Abbott’s signature style. It’s quietly revolutionary but feels entirely natural.”
Evening Standard
“It's still very unusual to have three women fronting a gritty, funny, intelligent TV drama – and viewers were thrilled. As Joanna Scanlan (The Thick of It), Alexandra Roach (Utopia) and Elaine Cassidy (Harper's Island) solved crimes with the help – and sometimes hindrance – of their male counterparts, Twitter was in awe of the female triumvirate.”
