The Duchess review, Culture Whisper
It’s a common compliment for a new series: the claim that the only issue is that there’s not enough. But with Katherine Ryan’s creatively crude sitcom about single motherhood, that cliché is actually the case. The Duchess is an aggressively entertaining series that feels unfinished. This critic wants more, more, more.
Six episodes that skirt around 25 minutes each, completable in two hours or so, should be ideal. The pressure’s off: even if you hate it, it’s all over soon. But here, the opposite is true: the reduced length impinges on its quality. The Duchess is so good, but needs more to make it great.
