      Tambay Obenson indieWire What prevents the series from being the haunting reverie it strives for is that it's all-too-familiar - content with playing inside a box that's already been shredded. Rated: C- Dec 23, 2021 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal What distinguishes the show from any number of other similarly constructed melodramas set in upscale English seaside villages are the rhythms maintained by both director Michael Samuels and writer Angela Pell. Dec 23, 2021 Full Review Carol Midgley Times (UK) Trying to stay engaged with this shonky drama was like trying to do the can-can in a jelly tunnel. Rated: 2/5 Dec 13, 2021 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said It's escapist, easily digestible fun that reminds us to look beneath the surface of what we see and believe. Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Close to Me was an odd bod. It kept just the right side of hammy with some nice flashes of humour.
