Critics, per Wikipedia
The Guardian gave it three stars, calling it "an unyielding slab of snuggle". Sarah Dempster wrote: "If wrecking-ball literalism, catch-all nostalgia and visibly uncomfortable character actors being battered to death with household implements are your bag, you’ve come to the right salon. ... The mood is one of harrowingly relentless cheer. ... It’s like being body-slammed by a Womble. ... The Hairdresser Mysteries is both brilliant and awful. It’s brawful. God knows what it thinks it’s playing at. But then, ours is not to reason why.

unlabelledView post →I love Sally Phillips. I love a cosy murder show. The Hairdresser Mysteries is one of the worst things I've ever watched. And I've seen The Madame Blanc Mysteries. This one makes Father Brown look like Poirot.

She (Sally) is only 56 & the show is set in the present day, yet her character quotes memories that suggest she’d been a hairdresser in the 70s. Was Lily an infant prodigy?

unlabelledView post →The Hairdresser Mysteries — first thoughts I gave BBC afternoon cozy crime show The Hairdresser Mysteries a try. No longer an historic show, Sally Phillips now is ’70s obsessed. The set design certainly reflects this, but what else can I say about the programme? Not much as I bailed within 20 minutes. There’s lightweight, easy watch afternoon TV then there’s a pantomime seemingly aimed at the children’s TV audience. I have no problem with the idea of the show (as far as I got) or the cast, but…
