I decided to give this series a chance, and watched series 2 on iPlayer over the last couple of nights.
Now, I didn't really like the first couple of eps, but is it me or did the writing improve a fair bit for the second half? Hardly amazing, but it wasn't terrible stuff. Even Asif was less annoying.
I won't be wishing for a series 3, but if it gets one I won't grumble. It's relatively low budget, and the Writer knows how to improve his work
Overall, nicely surprised.
Or maybe I'm just nuts.
