Channel 4’s Trespasses Premieres to Strong Reviews as Viewers Question Accents and Audio

The four‑part adaptation of Louise Kennedy’s novel airs nightly at 9pm this week after an all‑episodes drop on Channel 4’s streaming service.

Overview

  • Channel 4 launched Trespasses on Sunday 9 November, with hour‑long episodes scheduled nightly at 9pm through Wednesday 12 November.
  • Early reviews from major outlets praise the performances—particularly Lola Petticrew—and the evocative 1970s production detail.
  • Some viewers posted on social media that fast dialogue, Irish accents and broadcast sound made parts of the first episode hard to follow.
  • Trespasses adapts Kennedy’s story for television with Ailbhe Keogan as screenwriter, Dawn Shadforth directing and Gillian Anderson as executive producer, and it was filmed on location in Northern Ireland.
  • All four episodes are available now on Channel 4 streaming, and some outlets report a Netflix window, a detail not consistently confirmed across coverage.
