Peacock

There are not many comedy pioneers these days and this is another dose of comedy ambrosia from the team behind People Do Nothing. It's a shame Diane Morgan isn't in it or is she? - I'm only on episode 1...

After seeing People Just Do Nothing many years ago, I watched Peacock the day it came out - binged it all and I'm going to revisit again. The plot is hilarious the whole idea of making everything cringe and awkward for comedic effect, it's what they do best. Still bringing the charm it did from PJDN.

The only downside is that you'll be done with it under 2 hours, watching the 3 same episodes may make it harder to re-watch. However it is so much better than The Curse the other series they brought out.

I'm really looking forward to what they bring out next!

Funny premise, silly main character, no jokes. No setups. No punchlines. It's like a student film made on a bigger budget. One of those films your mates gets excited to show you and you sit through bland sketches and desperate gurning. I guess this is what BBC Comedy throws money at, trying to recreate the magic of PJDN. Average.

This is a clever and insightful take on modern life. Not in your face "aren't I hilarious?" comedy, because most of the time that's not funny. You may not laugh out loud, but if it doesn't make you laugh inside at the relatable / cringeworthy moments, you just aren't watching it right. Or perhaps it's just not for you. Great effort on this and good to see the kurupt fm guys taking on new characters instead of sticking to the same old thing.

If you like the office then you should like this... the main character is like a David Brent personnel trainer.

It's not a side splitting comedy but it will give you a few chuckles. Hope they make more episodes as it has potential.
