- Strictly Come Dancing's new hosts are described as "delighted" in a review that credits them with making the show feel "genuinely fresh."
- Despite that praise, the review flags that presenters "look terrified" and some celebrity contestants are "hard to identify," while still calling the programme a "rare refuge of joy."
Why it matters: The reviewer declares Strictly Come Dancing "cannot be allowed to fail" and calls it essential viewing, meaning this reboot-with-new-hosts verdict carries weight as an early read on whether the show's transition landed with audiences.
