What to Read Next
In its review of Hollington Drive, The Guardian said: "This thriller about the nightmarish disappearance of a child in suburbia gets off to a suitably gripping start – and Maxwell Martin is a perfect glum mum," adding: "It’s a fine addition to the suburban nightmare-trove."
The Independent was full of praise for the leading lady, writing: "Martin, our preeminent comic Mother in Crisis from her work in Motherland, creates a more soulful and troubled version here.
"She is incapable of playing a scene without emotional intelligence, and brilliantly conveys a woman whose mind is racing to nightmarish conclusions while she maintains an appearance of calm."

Another fan added that they found the series "gripping, intriguing and interesting". However, some complained that it was a "slow burner" and "underwhelming".
