This review is based on just the first episode, and overall I say so far, so good. The main character is Woody (Kayvan Novak) and he is a wise-cracking, quick on his feet character for sure. He gives us a constant stream of jokes, plays on words, insults, and so on. There are occasional clunkers mixed in, but a lot of them are amusing or even laugh out loud funny.

I decided to give the show a try, however, because of Bradley Walsh, who plays Brutus. I liked Bradley on Coronation Street and Law and Order UK. This is a different sort of role for him than in both of those shows as he also has his share of rapid fire jokes. The chemistry between these two leads seems a little rough at first but I think it will work.

This isn't a thinking man's comedy, but I have seen a lot of stupid comedies and this isn't one of those either. It is entertaining and will hopefully get even better as it finds its feet. Just let the clunker lines roll past you and wait for the next one. You won't have to wait long.

Plus I saw on the preview for the second episode that it will feature John Savident, another much liked Coronation Street veteran, so I am already looking forward to that show.

I cannot begin to explain how much I loved this show when it first aired and it absolutely still holds up now. It is a much watch for anyone who likes this fast paced smart comedy and I dream that it gets the recognition it deserves.please bring back for another season that is all i ask, or at least produce more things with this comedic styling and genre.

Here I am, in 2021, and I have only just discovered this comedy gem.

It's hilarious and had me laughing out loud many times. The whodunnit episode, investigating the death of Elton Juan is absolutely brilliant.

The writing is good, the cast do a great job. How did this only get one series?

Kayvan Novak is outstanding in all his different guises.

Well worth watching if you can find it!

I flicked over to the first episode in error and started to watch. My initial reaction was 'this is awful'... but it's totally won me over. Bradley Walsk is excellent the constant one-liners are sometimes good, sometimes cringeworthy but always raise a smile.

Novak is a scene-stealer with great regularity. Don't tune in to this if you don't like slapstick, stupid comedy - because that's exactly what it is.

The 4th episode (Casino) had me laughing out loud. Well done to the BBC for getting this on air - although, given most reviews, I'd say this may be the one and only season :-(

This reminds me of the old Leslie Nielsen films with one liner, daft, slapstick humour and word play. I can imagine that it may annoy some people and they may think it's childish comedy but that's part of the reason I like it... It's not offensive, there's no swearing. I LOVE Kavan Novak especially when he's dressed up using different accents! And I have to say the guy that plays Zorro is hilarious. There are some great cameos from Keith Allan and Paul Kaye etc. It isn't cutting edge, intelligent humour...but it's just great for a laugh! I REALLY hope they do another series! Some people will like it, some wont. As for me... I love it! Give it a go!
