Bliss

I enjoyed this program and think the bad reviews are but harsh. I thought it took some issues and made a good story. With a what wil happen next vibe. I think the only negative on this program is the fact it was labelled comedy. I would label this dark comedy drama possibly.

Stephen Mangan is very talented and funny, and I had hoped this show would utilize his skills. It did not. The subject matter is more awkward and stressful to watch than funny. The director/creator David Cross is also generally funny in an off the wall kind of way but this show seems out of character for him. I like a little heightened tension in TV series but not from the start to the end of each episode.

Well, I seem to be the dissenting voice here but I really enjoyed this black comedy and am really sad to think that there may not be a second series. Stephen Mangan is a brilliant actor and perfect for this role. All I can say to all the unhappy viewers, is lighten up, folks!!

I've now watched 5 episodes of this programme, it's not funny at all, just cringeworthy, you feel no sympathy for Andrew, just a cheating husband who will end up hurting his families.

Rubbish

If I could give this load of tosh a minus rating I would. In Australia we are being given half-hour episodes. I watched the first half hour and was seriously thinking about turning off, but kept going in the vain hope it would get better. It didn't. I gave the second half hour a go, against my better judgement, and gave up after ten minutes.

This is not a comedy, the jokes are stale and flat, and the subject matter demands a strong family drama. It could have been so much more, so much better. Mangan's dithery male act is beyond annoying, as is that dreadful floppy hairdo. How either of his women managed to stay with "Andrew" for more than five minutes is something I kept wondering about. He's one of the most annoying characters ever created.

Take my advice - don't waste your time.
