Chivalry

Some of the reviews for this are really harsh. Yes ok it is a bit of a 'will they, won't they' underneath all the social commentary, but it's intelligent, fast and pretty funny too. Although I agree the ending was unsatisfactory. Really hope there will be a second series.

An intelligent and enjoyable comedy. Makes fun of the world we currently live in. It's no Alan Partridge but it's more grown up and a lot more layered.

A feminist filmmaker is brought into a film production to make it more appropriate for female audiences. Stars Steve Coogan.

I watched the first 2 episodes and quickly realised this was not funny. The third episode drops a huge bombshell. I started to realise this was not in fact a comedy but a drama with social commentary.

I really like Coogan's work and he comes with an excellent back catalogue but this is not good. It's not funny, it's not very interesting, it's almost pointless as a TV show. Almost. Avoid.

First thing I have ever seen Steve Coogan in I didn't appreciate. Cast is ok, (except for Aisling Bea hamming it up as usual), but the script is confusing and the "plot'/purpose of this programme unclear. Overall this is just a turn off. Steve Coogan so often totally nails whatever he is involved in. Not here, not sure why! But maybe just the co-writing collaboration doesn't work. Really disappointed because I wanted and expected to like it because of Steve, but just couldn't.

This series made me feel every emotion under the sun. I loved it, I hated it. It made me laugh, it punched me in the gutt. It worked for me, it didn't work for me. It's good, it possibly all falls apart at the end. It's 'cleaver' but at the expense of a satisfying ending. Maybe, I'm not sure, part of me thinks the ending works and part of me really dislikes it. The show could have done with being longer, but also completely works as a 6 episode run. It will make you think, potentially at the expense of being entertaining. However, it's also both very funny and very very serious.

I hope this contradictory non review gets my point across. This is honestly the best way for me to describe my time with this show. My recommendation is to go in knowing little and come out taking something away. You may take away that you hate the show, but I would struggle to believe you'd not leave without a strong opinion. Even if that's a strongly indecisive one! It.
