Mr. Bigstuff

I love both Ryan Sampson and Danny Dyer so thought this would be good. The first episode was certainly different but the more you watch, the more you are drawn in. It's definitely not for everyone but if like me you enjoy a giggle, are not easily offended and have no issue with swearing (and the c-word) then seriously give this a go. Not only humorous, it does get a bit deep at times. The actors play the parts well and Sampson and Dyer are an unlikely combination, but it works really well... a modern Del Boy and Rodney 😀 Although it is a six parter, be prepared that you may want to binge it... I did!

I'm only halfway through this series so far and am really enjoying this. I cannot understand the bad reviews at all! I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before starting it as it may have put me off watching.

It has a great cast, it's easy to watch, and quite funny! Those reviews that are saying Danny Dyer is playing Danny Dyer clearly haven't got past the first episode. He may have used his own accent, but his character is entirely different!

Can't wait to finish this and I hope it gets renewed for a second season.

Seems to me that this show is like marmite, you're either going to love it or hate it. But give it a try and don't quit on the first episode!!!

Really enjoyed series 1 and looked forward to series 2 but felt disappointed after watching it all.

Danny Dyer is a joy, not a character actor by any stretch, just plays Danny Dyer and it's great to watch, Ryan Sampson on the other hand plays the down at heel loser only not as likeable as Grumio in Plebs or witty as Tommo in Brassic, this time I found the character just annoying.

Plotwise, it was always a vehicle for series 3, people liked series 1 so make as many more as you can, it worked for Brassic (to an extent). I just came away from series 2 thinking "was that it?".

'Mr Bigstuff follows two estranged brothers; Glen (Sampson), a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live a suburban ideal and Lee (Dyer), an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a tin full of their dad's ashes.'

I really didn't know what to expect when I first put on Mr Big stuff but I was genuinely happily surprised. It's a show that doesn't take itself too seriously, well doesn't take itself seriously at all - but it works. There are numerous moments with perfect comedic timing and the casting is great too. Danny Dyer is fantastic alongside Ryan Sampson whilst Adrian Scarborough and Faitha El-Ghorri were also standout in there roles. It also felt like they were having genuine fun with it also.

Mr Bigstuff is not trying to be groundbreaking, but is a feel-good series that is genuinely worth a watch, has the sort of easy to watch / easy going vibe to watch after a long day and unwind.

I'd give it a 7/10.

Starts off slow but gets better and better if you like plebs and brassic you will love this very good writing Ryan and Danny at there best all in all a good solid series bring on series 2 Rayn is as good in this as he his in plebs and Danny is all in all brilliant we need more comedy like this nice and steady all the actors are spot on even the one liners to be honest I have never been a big fan of Danny Dyer only been in one film I love that was severance this is as good as that film for style and comedy so please please the powers that be bring on series 2 great actors great script great series.
