Just finished #WaitingForTheOut and it was brilliant. Josh Finnan was amazing as Dan. Really thought provoking and beautifully written.

#WaitingForTheOut #BBC 4/5. A remarkable performance from #JoshFinan that perfectly shows the range he has as an actor. The show explored a lot, toxic masculinity issues, the effects of unfit fathers, philosophy and the effects prison has on inmates. Interesting musicial score.

Waiting for the Out
Freedom isn’t always on the outside. Teaching in prison, Dan obsesses over his own choices and confronts his turbulent past. Provocative, moving drama by writer Dennis Kelly.

#WaitingForTheOut (2026) A nice short series on childhood trauma and OCD, with excellent performances by all the cast. 8/10 🧐✌️

Honestly I've just started Ep 3 and it really is a perfectly written, acted and filmed drama #WaitingForTheOut

The pace is perfect, and I love the way the camera often stays on Dan's face, or another character observing their reaction to what is being said.

Brilliant. And based on a true story

Also caught #WaitingForTheOut, which is great and, at the same time, not a remotely easy watch.

#waitingfortheout Congratulations all for a brilliant series. Josh Finan was outstanding . Sion Trefor’s score created a stifling and claustrophobic atmosphere, with what could be considered, free jazz.

Waiting for the out. A-mazing drama. Hard at times to watch, but I guess that's the point. Highly recommend this. Nice to see an original storyline amongst the usual tried and tested formulas. #waitingfortheout #bbc #mustwatch #Friday #weekend

I should have said this much sooner - halfway through episode two, when I realised it wasn't a fluke - but if you have the opportunity to watch #WaitingForTheOut and aren't taking it, you should rethink that. A masterclass in sustained tension and unreliable POV. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
BBC One - Waiting for the Out, Series 1, Episode 1
Dan’s first day in prison unravels as he underestimates his class – and his own past.

#WaitingForTheOut is the best thing I've seen in years. Unbelievably moving and hilarious and touching and haunting and sad. Give the brilliant Josh Finan every award going. Watch it, trust me.

Ha! If extraordinarily, emotionally nailbiting, it's proved very rewarding and, I hope worthy of maximum awarding when BAFTA is doing its thing. #WaitingForTheOut #BBCiPlayer

It's almost like it's disappeared from public view before it started. They're all excellent but the brief performance of Sule Rimi as Samson Blake in ep2 was outstanding. #WaitingForTheOut
