What Are the Critics Saying About Hard Cell?

Hard Cell has an official critics rating of 20% and an average audience score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. While the critics have given the series a thumbs down, the audience continues to find Catherine Tate funny.

Amanda Mazzillo from Film Joy writes, “Hard Cell is a sometimes dated, but sometimes delightful blend of sketch and sitcom tropes that utilizes Catherine Tate’s many comedic talents along with a talented ensemble bringing this women’s prison and all of its inmates to life.”

London Evening Standard’s Vicky Jessop says, “There are the bones of a good show in here. They’ve just been locked away behind several sets of bars, rather like its protagonists; as a result, the whole thing stumbles at the starting line and never quite hits its stride.”

Is Hard Cell Suitable for Kids?

Hard Cell is rated TV-MA, which means it is meant for viewing by mature audiences only. The content material is not suitable for children under 17.
