[edit] Critical Reaction

The series was generally dismissed by critics. It is true that these films did not aim to be great art or stretch the boundaries of cinema. They were frothy, unimportant, fairy floss, requiring no great effort to watch. Channel 5, was the first British terrestrial t.v. channel to show the entire series of Confessions films in 1997. At this time the Daily Mail newspaper was very critical of Channel 5's late night adult schedule (seeing it as no more than Channel 5 desperately trying to attract viewers with programmes of a sexual nature), referring to Channel 5 as Channel Filth. In an article (regarding Channel 5's late night adult schedule) the Daily Mail referred to the Confessions series as "Films from the darkest days of British cinema".
