In a television review published by The Guardian on 25 October 2026, critic Lucy Mangan evaluates the new six-part ITVX series Adultery, starring Romola Garai and Dominic Cooper. Mangan describes the show as a clattering bag of cliches filled with unconvincing characters and implausible plot points. Despite strong central performances from Garai and Shelley Conn, the critic argues that the drama relies heavily on weak attempts at social commentary and awkward romantic setups between middle-aged parents whose children are also dating. Ultimately, Mangan concludes that despite the actors giving their all, the series is hardly worth the effort.
