Sneakerhead

Dave commissions anything with certain people in no matter how mediocre or bad they are. This is boring, it's trying to appeal to a small minority of people, it's not generally funny or entertaining. None of the cast are that good or memorable. Just people you kinda recognise doing their one dimensional acts but together in a sports direct... yeah that's a show in 2022

For the review saying classic British sitcom, from fawlty towers to only fools to even inbetweeners, this is so far off that standard that other review should be laughed out of IMDb.

This short-lived sitcom/taster reminds me of Channel 4's "PhoneShop" from 2009, In fact when you look at the summary for that show on here you'll see."The antics of the dysfunctional staff of Sutton branch of a mobile phone retailer." Well you can swap out Sutton for Peterborough and mobile phone for sports outfitters and you have the same scenario but with far less interesting characters.

The only problem is that Phoneshop developed over 3 seasons, where this seems to have been canned before it had chance to improve the scripts and flesh out the rather vanilla characters.

Laughs are few and far between, and the show is standing around desperately looking for a spark of imagination and fresh humour.

Had it been given a few more episodes things could have really surprised and entertained us. As it is Sneakerhead is stuck in the traps constantly tripping over itself.

As a fan of People Just Do Nothing and Peacock I absolutely loved this. I thought the characters and storyline were both excellent with so much potential to evolve further. The writing is very good, with regular laugh out loud moments (for me), and familiar nods to the Office through awkward situational comedy. Hugo carries the main story arch exceptionally well and Big Zuu is an absolute revelation as a comedy actor - very engaging on screen - convincing and funny. I really hope they commission more episodes of this - the first three were a brilliant start - enough to get me hooked - but just not enough - more please BBC!

I wasn't expecting much of a three episode mini comedy series on Dave but with half decent scripts and good acting throughout, Francesca Mills being particularly noteworthy, I really enjoyed what is actually a pretty simplistic plot - even rushing ahead to watch the final episode before it was aired. Hope they make a second series, and with more episodes. They've got some good characters here which could mature nicely, given the chance. Good spot Dave team.

Great, well written characters, masterfully acted, and a real testimony to the classic British sitcoms. All you need is funny characters sitting at a boring job. Looking forward to watching the rest of it.
