No Activity

Very funny. Lots of jokes and comments in the show that shows the writers have either done the job, or sought advice and stories from those that have.

The BBC have just shown this in the UK, and I'm so glad they did. It is right up there with The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Detectorists, Peep Show and This Country.

The writing is exceptional, but it works so well because of the actors. Their timing, delivery and expressions are perfect. These people are real. You care about them, and that's what makes great comedy work. Can we have some more series, please?

Found this by accident. W ow, so funny. Check it out! I laughed all day.

I ran, after watching the first 2 episodes.

With the exception of April (played by Harriet Dyer), I found the characters irritating rather than amusing. Rather than take the Brooklyn Nine-Nine route (incompetence within a relatively realistic milieu), they've chosen the route of supremely farcical incompetence and have failed to make this funny.

Look at what happened at the end of episode 1 (no spoilers here) and how this is effectively forgotten by the beginning of episode 2. How does that make any sort of sense, unless this is a farce? In which case, it needs to be a good farce. This is just a bad farce about a bad force. Watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine instead.

The writing on this show is very good indeed. Nice to view a funny show which does not rely on laugh tracks. The action may be minimal, but the interaction and dialogue between the characters is very enjoyable.

Alas, the US seems to see the need to make their own version. Why not just enjoy the original?
