Ed McCardie's brilliant 'Spotless' has launched in America to extraordinary reviews. It was such a privilege to be a part of Ed's team on this show. I wrote Episode 8 (directed by the wonderful Luke Watson) and love both it and the show dearly. Here are just a few of the things American critics are saying about the first episode:
'Esquire finds a winner with first scripted drama 'Spotless'
Bethonie Butler, The Washington Post
'This is memorable TV....Spotless is a story of family, how the past cements certain things and sets others adrift; we build ourselves, then, out of substance and absence.'
Mary McNamara, The LA Times
'A bloody good crime clean-up tale from Esquire'
Brian Moylan, The Guardian
'Spotless is a smart take on TV's anti-hero trend.'
Heidi Patalano, The Wrap
'Spotless is great fun. Intelligent, well-written and beautifully photographed, it has a remarkably sharp satirical edge.'
Tirdad Derakhshani, The Philadelphia Inquirer
If you're in the States, you can watch Episode One of Spotless on the Esquire Network.
Spotless continues at 10pm, Saturday nights on Esquire.....
