One critic, known as Eccy Reviews on TikTok and boasting 350,000 followers, recently examined the series and branded it the 'most amusing of the year'.

Speaking in one of his recent videos, he declared: "The absolutely hilarious and brand new show The Paper has now been released on Sky and this is easily the funniest show of the year, so let's talk about it.

"Domhnall Gleeson who I absolutely love as Ned Sampson is brilliant in this show, every single scene he has me in stitches and I actually couldn't fault this character.

"But Esmeralda who I wasn't even sure about ended up stealing the entire series and she was easily my favourite. I love her whole entire rivalry with Ned and I'm interested in what everyone else's thoughts are on Esmeralda."

He went on to reveal his top episode was number 5 following the Catfish storyline featuring Esmeralda and Ned.

"I was absolutely in stitches in so many scenes during this episode," he confessed.

"And we can't forget about the return of Oscar Martinez, it was so funny seeing him again, the whole thing of him not wanting to be in the show is brilliant."

For those needing further persuasion, the critic declared: "But season 1 of The Paper is absolutely brilliant.

"I love every single character, the banter works so well I love the little hints and romances and so much things we can see blossoming going into season 2.

"But I'm interested, let me know who your favourite character is, your favourite episodes and your entire thoughts."

His TikTok clip attracted considerable interest after being posted, with numerous viewers eager to voice their opinions as well.

One commented: "Such a good start to this show!" Another chimed in: "So funny! Agreed."

Based on IMDB data, The Paper boasts a 7/10 rating from 3,700 votes.

Every instalment runs for 30 minutes and centres on a historic yet struggling Midwestern publication attempting to revive itself using volunteer journalists.
