Bea and Horgan's performances are smart, playful, nimble, and rooted in empathy.

It's very good, and it's warm and clever, and it will - or would - precisely hit the spot for a lot of people, if only they can find it.

If you're missing Fleabag, here's your fix. This Way Up freely acknowledges the debt.
August 22, 2019
Small in scope, infinitely charming, and intermittently devastating.

You can tell that the script is good from the quality of actors joining the party (the prestige of being made by Horgan's production company surely helps, too).

It is occasionally too hip for its own good...but the script is smart, the performances convincing, and both women, like young Whitehall, have funny bones. A hit.

This Way Up remains irresistible and not just because it's an easy and enjoyable binge-watch. Aisling Bea's performance is dynamic...

This Way Up takes the idea of happy-sad television to a new level, one that is ultimately rewarding.

Watching Aine muddle through life feels both low-stakes and a matter of life and death.

The humour here can have a surprisingly hard centre. More often, it is droll and nervy both at once, Aine's compulsive bits to anyone in earshot driven by a terror of what might happen if she stopped.
