This show is a major disappointment. Unlike the other commenter, I like (and have watched loads of) British comedies; I was primed to like this, but it absolutely falls flat.
The major problems are that
the show relies on several implausibilities to push the plot forward, not the least of which is that
I virtually always watch everything to the end, but by the start of Ep 5, I was done. If you want a comedy with quirky characters, skip this and instead try Rosehaven (whose female lead, Australian comic Celia Pacquola, does pull off big-personality-is-compensating-for-insecurities), Detectorists, The Letdown, or Fisk.
I don’t agree on any of those points. For one the lead actress is the writer and she’s from New Zealand. So although it’s set in England I definitely get the down under vibe from it.
I really like the lead character, she’s big and bold and doesn’t hide her flaws. I also don’t think she’s significantly less attractive than her. I think she looks great and he looks a bit sickly. Also she meets him when she’s drunk so the fact she doesn’t recognise him isn’t a big deal. I also think the chemistry between them works well it’s not a stupid Hollywood sexually loaded bit it’s more of a banter that shows in their silliness and joy just being together along with a shared sense of humour, reminds me of the joy in finding someone who ‘gets you’ in amongst the millions wandering the streets.
I do agree that the list of Aussie comedies are great, most BBC fans would love as well.
