I can find very little love for this on the forums. Series 2 had me laughing as much as Series 1 did, so it was a success for me. It can seem a little formulaic at times what with Pete getting in similar scrapes due to his stupidity, but how's that different to Peep Show? It's certainly one of my favourite new British sitcoms.
Is there any news on a third series?
Remember reading something saying it was unlikely to return for a third series because they struggled to get viewers.
Yes, it's not been explicitly stated, but comments made by a Channel 4 executive, IIRC, a few months back, strongly implied that the show had failed to achieve the ratings they wanted and so would not be recommissioned.
As for the show, there's nothing bad about it as such, but the cringe comedy thing is terribly old and dull now. It did it very well, but at very least 6 years too late.
I liked it and most people I've shown it to also enjoyed it. At least it got two series and Rafe Spall is gonna be in the new Alien movie Prometheus... so maybe he'll launch off into some bigger, better things. I know I'm gonna laugh the first time I see Pete's bumbling face on the big screen, even if it's a gross or serious scene.
