One of the best new comedy series to hit from the UK. Very talented cast whose chemistry has been perfected by their previous work on Horrible Histories and Yonderland.

Beautiful series

Huzzah!

Well, things have taken several turns. I look forward to seeing how this plays out.

*sigh…having Getting On flashbacks, even though that adaptation had a better cast.

An excellent spy drama about a network/family of Russian spies living, hiding and working in the USA in the 70’s and 80’s. Always thrilling to the end while never being overbearing in its portrayal of the period or the people involved. A strong watch for a long binge.

A modern classic British panel show. Rob, Lee, and David have perfect chemistry. The guests are hit or miss but the best (Bob Mortimer, Henning Wehn, James Acaster, etc.) make for TV comedy gold.

A fine series if your looking for a new take on the classic horror villains. Rory Kinnear is particularly brilliant with his unique portrayal of The Monster.

Don’t get your panties in a bunch sweetheart. If you brits are still happy to spend millions every year keeping a gang of inbred leeches in luxury, there’s no point stressing about what their ancestors did

A surprisingly good series so far (just finished season 2). I was worried that it would join the other melodramatic oft anachronistic in sensibilities line of period dramas in recent years. It might be guilty of those in brief moments but overall it is a strong drama about the power-play of 18th century brothels and the elite who visit them. Good cast and unexpectedly good music.

A wonderful look at the world of comedy from the perspective of the comedians and club managers at the start of the big LA scene. The characters are inspired from people who were there. Funny, dramatic, and sadly moving. It is even sadder because the series was cut down too soon.

Always good but Season 3 is especially unbelievable! They couldn’t go out on a better note. Just spectacular writing, acting, directing, and soundtrack. Truly masterful!

Oh my gods! This series was a shocker. Nothing is sacred in this black comedy satirising early Victorian society. Some bits will have you howling, some hiding behind your hand.

Wish there were more links. Season 2 is particularly hard to come by.

If you’re a fan of David Mitchell (that is, a sane person) you’ll enjoy this lighthearted look at Shakespeare’s missing years. It is Blackadder with Mitchell as Shakespeare instead of Atkinson as Blackadder.

One of the finest and unique dramas to be offered in a long time. Superbly written and performed, it feels more of a stage drama than something made for TV or film. Truly moving with shockingly deep moments.

Very funny comedian who forgot to bring his good material. Podcast worthy, yes; Netflix worthy, no.

Up Pompeii for the modern age. Always funny. Good cast. Season 4 lacked a little charm but you can’t help but cheer for the boys.

Great series! Glad it’s back.

This film should be declared a national treasure. Three generations of Americas best black comedians (Foxx, Pryor, Murphy) along with a great supporting cast (excepting a poor performance by Arsenio Hall) including Charlie Murphy (RIP) hovering and underused. Panned by critics but loved by fans, this film is a classic.

Very interestingly done episode!
I wonder, though, how they can pull off a second season.

This season; with cast crew and writing, may rival season one.

America’s greatest comedian since Eddie Murphy.

The Final Solution in its inception. Chilling isn’t enough to describe this film. A must-see for history lovers or those interested in the period and subject matter. Excellent cast!

A dark comedic satire about a family whose wealth was built on religious conservatism in the USA. The family dynamic is clever if cliche. Nonetheless, it does engage with an awkward comedic style and a talented cast. Hypocrisy and greed juxtaposed with almost humourous violence reminiscent of Fargo make up the keel of this show. Certainly worth watching if not converting.

It’s probably not what you think. Gervais here is not mocking. His character Derek is warmly portrayed with intensely heartfelt moments. Some may bring up tears. Plenty of funny moments too. All based on his mothers stories of working in just such a facility. Great cast of comedians, including Ricky’s friend Karl who is a fan favourite from their real life adventures together.

Well, that opening was a bit of a surprise!

Dry, warm, and subtle. Zach is flawless playing both characters and demonstrating his range of character and humour. Louie deserves all the accolades he’s been given for his performance. He couldn’t be better.

There are plenty of good documentaries about The Great War. This one recreates moments with digitally enhanced footage and dubbing experts to give vibrant life to every part. The care and attention to detail is inspiring. Great film!

We’ve been so fortunate! Everything about this series has been excellent. First Legion and now this. TV series’ goin’ out in style!

An episode including “quibling” but no David Mitchell on the panel?! That’s very odd!

Good episode with some character development, especially for Goodman’s role, done through a flashback.
Well-timed and needed for the show to remain more than a spoof.

It’s back and it came out swinging!

Strong start for this original series.

A delightfully funny spin-off series from the hilarious film What We Do in the Shadows. Looking forward to season 2!

Bill takes his childhood and fearless sense of humour and gives a very funny look at the less than perfect suburban American family in the 1970’s. It just gets better every season!

From a thoughtful comedy in previous seasons and half bearable 5 episodes, last one just killed the whole entertainment. Pure melodrama.

I know that this is all hyperbolic parody…but this is my life.

Dave Chappelle in his typically effortless style ruthlessly takes on topics of the day. Fearlessly counter-attacking against social-media’s purge culture and other sensitive issues he crafts another brilliant performance that will be talked about and enjoyed for as long as there are links and downloads. Unfortunately, only one hour long and lacking his “epilogue” segment here this special may be his best since Killin’ Them Softly.

This show is a masterpiece!

A dark comedy about a USA war veteran seeking redemption and a new life from his actions in the war and later as an assassin for hire through becoming an actor in Los Angeles. Much of the humour is drawn from the unusual perspectives of the characters and the deliberately awkward situations of violence. Few of the characters have any depth but those that do carry the show well. Certainly entertaining, funny, and even touching at times.

Bravo on their Emmy nominations! Whilst lacking in some ways (in my opinion of course) one can see they deserve to be recognised.

Very glad that I found this series!

In the finale here, they don’t hit many high marks but they got one very well. The commentary on art from the artist’s perspective versus the audience perspective was very good. Sasha’s hidden story was intriguing too. We may get more from her.
Fine job!
Looking forward to the next season.

A brilliant film superficially about prudish censorship of radio during the classic rock period. A fantastic ensemble cast of comedians and dramatic actors. Ralph Brown (of Withnail and I fame) and Chris O’Dowd deliver surprisingly touching performances with their separate character arcs. Then there is the soundtrack. It can’t be beat!

It’s a shame that the UK version isn’t available here.

The funniest American sketch comedy since The Richard Pryor Show. Dave Chappelle is one of the finest comedians America has produced. With the addition of Charlie Murphy and other supporting comics, this show was legendary even in it’s time.

I watched it as a fan of Adrien Brody’s work. It’s a compelling if not original story (man seeking redemption). Act 1 may seem slow to some but it picks up well.
