Warning: this Inside No. 9 review contains spoilers.
Without question, that episode featured the worst dialogue, the most clichéd plot threads, and the most thinly drawn, hackneyed characters Inside No. 9 has ever produced. Which, of course, was entirely the point. This was metadrama: four characters in search of a rubbish author.

The stink was quite deliberate.
