Reception

Tristram Fane Saunders of The Daily Telegraph said the first series was "impeccably cast, sharply observed."[2] 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"[3]

IMDB, an online webpage that rates audiovisual content, gives “Pls Like” 7 stars out of 10.

Pls Like was nominated for Best Short Form Programme at the 2018 British Academy Television Awards[4] and was shortlisted for Best Digital Fiction Series at the Banff World Media Festival in Canada.
