Channel 4 is spoiling us with new sitcoms at the moment, with Derry Girls back as well. But I have to say I rather enjoyed this. Certainly I think it's a good sign that at the end of episode 1 I want to see more from these characters, particularly Taj Atwal as Rana, who I thought was the standout and got the best lines.
Anyone been watching?
I'm a bit baffled by how it is an adaptation of an international format. Did they buy the exact plots and scripts? There's nothing about it that is discernibly unique to be a rip off if they hadn't licenced it, I'd have thought. Odd!
I'm still watching but I have to say I'm not blown away. There are quite a few funny lines, but it all feels a bit, I don't know, artificial? The stuff with the breadcakes was Sitcom 101 stuff. Maybe it's because it's on straight after Derry Girls, so the difference in quality is more stark.
This was totally dreadful, nearly everyone in it had been in better things.felt stale and forced , oooeeerrr Mr grimsdale.
I started watching but gave up halfway through. I'd much rather watch the Sharon Horgan thing.
