Reception
Tristram Fane Saunders of The Daily Telegraph said the first series was "impeccably cast, sharply observed." Hannah J Davies of The Guardian said: "it puts a mirror up to the fads and controversies of the day, whether that’s ASMR or the alt-right, and explores their potential for laughs and pathos"
Pls Like was nominated for Best Short Form Programme at the 2018 British Academy Television Awards and was shortlisted for Best Digital Fiction Series at the Banff World Media Festival in Canada.
