What are people saying about Trying: Season 4?

Critics have already begun heaping praise upon the new season of Trying, with many heralding it as being the “best series” on Apple TV+ right now.

“I think that one of the things that keeps the show going is a rich, varied landscape of characters,” Spall previously told ScreenRant when asked about the show’s continued success.

“You need the show to move beyond its original conceit of a couple trying to adopt to a group of people that an audience member wants to hang out with once a year. And I think Andy [Wolton] has done a really good job of creating a rich cast of people that are all spinning plates that can all go in different directions.”

Spall added: “All of my favourite shows have got that. And even though Nikki and Jason are at the centre of this show, it’s been really fun to see all the different characters come to the fore. If we go on and do more of this show, I look forward to seeing what else comes and what else he’s up to.”

When and where can we watch Trying: Season 4?
