Stuck

I really wanted this to be good as I love the main actors but it's just lazy. I think you can tell by the length of the episodes, and the series - each episode is 13 minutes long and they couldn't even be bothered to write 6 episodes so you get 5. Total guess, but I reckon this was commissioned as a normal 6 episode series of 22 to 30 minutes each but then a deadline loomed and they had to just push whatever they had out. It feels unfinished.

It's not funny. It's pretty boring and I doubt I'll finish the series - I'm on episode 3, not a laugh in site. Actually kind of hard work watching the rest of this episode...

Well written dialogue and impressively well-rounded characters considering the small amount a screen time they all have.

The cast is fantastic and they manage not to outshine each other. They all bring different comedic styles to the show but it completely works; the different styles compliment each other and make the characters more life-like and relatable.

The only downside, as others have stated, is the short running time. I think it doesn't give the story space to really get going. Instead of a solid story your left with short threads that have a lot of potential but don't really go anywhere.... Perhaps the form reflects the title in that regard.

It's a good little show and I definitely laughed out loud at certain points. If you've got an hour free then it's worth a watch. Plus, the set design is gorgeous.

I wound up watching this show by accident, and as it was the first ever episode I had ever seen I decided, to watch another episode straight after so I might have, a slightly better idea if its worth bothering with.

Initially I was surprised that the episodes are only barely fifteen minutes long, so l wound up watching more of them nearly all of Series one, but in retrospect it's a good job that they are.

I haven't seen that much of Dylan Moran hitherto and I had thought that he was not that bad, but in all honesty the more I see of him the less I think that is actually the case.

In this show he looks and sounds exactly the same as everything I have ever seen him in, its no better that he has actually written this stuff, because he can't blame anything on anyone else.

He must bare all of the blame for this dross, if this is actually the best that he can come up with, he may as well jack this comedy lark in once and for all.

This is Dylan Moran! It isn't Black Books; it isn't How Do You Want Me?, nor is it any of his specials or movies... But you'll see all of that in here - you'll see Dylan in it - his essence and his genius!

It's also not the "prescribed" 20-30 minutes of airtime, but aren't we most firmly lodged in an era of reinventing TV? Who decided 20-30 minutes was the golden ticket? Network executives with time slots to fill, I think. I'm thrilled that creators/writers increasingly get to determine what works for their scripts and ideas, and to me the length of the shows seems to work perfectly.

The coupling is unique; I really enjoyed the dynamic with Morgana! The midlife/unemployment aspect was also very engaging, with many places to go. Left me wanting more, for sure! Very much hoping for a second season!

The new sitcom from "Black Books" co-creator Dylan Moran gives an air of sophistication, but ultimately has very little to say. This seems to be a result of the episode length - at 13 minutes each, the credits roll as soon as the story seems to pick up the pace. It's almost as though full half-hour episodes were written, but sliced in half with unsatisfactory conclusions as a result. An even greater disappointment is the lack of funny moments peppered in throughout the admittedly well-written dialogue. Even strong performances from Moran and Morgana Robinson are unable to save "Stuck" from falling into inevitable obscurity. Sadly, it just isn't good enough.
