Uncle

Three episodes in and so far this is a well written and likable sitcom. Don't be put off by the trailer which didn't really do it justice or the fact that it's screening on the home to some of the worst crimes against TV comedy in recent years, BBC3.

The basic premise is a down on his luck uncle, recently split from his girlfriend and feeling suicidal, saved at the last minute by a call from his sister asking him to look after his nephew. Cue initial hostility followed by gradually thawing / odd couple relationship and some quite moving moments for a sitcom.

It's funny but not really laugh out loud funny that often but somehow that seems to suit its gentle, at times almost Wes Andersonesque, style.

Overall, best new sitcom I've seen in a while and well worth checking out.

Been binging brit shows recently a lot for the "Sarcastic" and "straight forward" English humour apparently, and of course the most majestic accent in the word, the British accent. This series is literally everything!!! The jokes and performances are phenomenal!! Except sometimes it is too cringe to watch that i have to pause to ensure myself it's just a tv show. But the rock and roll media in the series is the main key!! I am a big fan of rock culture (a Gen z who's in love with rock music) and acquiring the knowledge of music and bands to watch the series is just the best thing ever. This show really deserves more viewers and attention because it is a perfect show for people to enjoy!!!

(PS: I don't like cheesy humours, there's really lots of shows that i don't find it entertaining, but this one really makes me laugh my ass out!!! )

This show took me two goes to watch it, eight years apart. The first time I tried to watch it I did not even get through the first episode before I gave up. Eight years later I binge watched the entire 3 seasons in one day.

Very good show and well worth watching if you get the chance.

Uncle is a well written comedy and Nick Helm is an underrated talent..

I started watching the first few episodes and unded up binge watching the entire 3 series..

Such a great find, and I can't believe that I somehow missed this series when it originally aired. Filled with heart, laughter, pathos and addresses more serious issues such as suicide. drug dependency and bullying without mocking them. The acting's great, especially from the young nephew Errol. I've binged 5 episodes so far and looking forward to the next 15. Bravo!
