What BollyAI Thinks
The final series ran May to June 2024 and returned the anthology to its perfect Rotten Tomatoes mark. Critics reviewed Series 9 with evident affection for what the show had been across a decade, and The Times declared the series finale 'brilliant' without reservation. The six episodes maintained the structural playfulness - pitting Pemberton and Shearsmith against each other in the finale, per one review - that had made the series a benchmark. Its conclusion at 55 episodes over nine series left it with one of the most consistent quality records in British television history.

The hours worth arguing about - premieres, finales, and the turning points. BollyAI reads the room episode by episode.
- E6The Last Weekend9.2
The series finale brings Shearsmith and Pemberton face to face in a final story that circles back to the anthology's obsessions - trapped spaces, hidden histories, and the cost of what people keep inside.
The moment: The final image of the series - understated, earned, and exactly right for an anthology that never overplayed its hand.
“No duds - standout work from the creators in the climactic six episodes.” - Ian Bunting, Daily Record
Season Over Season
The final series recaptured the perfect critical score and felt, by critical consensus, like a considered and worthy conclusion to a singular run.
