Hilarious and heartwarming. Youssef Kerkour is amazing

Why on Earth didn't I watch this first time round. I put the first episode on, and couldn't switch it off, it had me captivated. It's one of those comedy shows, that has so much more to offer up, it's insightful, moving, heart warming, and gives us some of the best characters I've seen in a show for some time.

The characters, each of them plays their part, develops the story, and has a journey, the acting is flawless throughout.

There are two incredibly poignant scenes in particular, that exquisite moment in the Post Office, and the scene on the bus, both are funny, but at the same time, make you think long and hard.

The most surreal scene comes with the Yucca plant.

I cried, I laughed, I questioned, I googled, it made me want answers, it made me want more, Rufus if you're reading, can we have more please? 9/10.

This has to be one of the best British comedies of the last 10 years. Heart-warming story of an illegal immigrant and the expectations of the British way of life which are dashed in true black comedy style.

I was resistant to watching this as I felt I knew what it was about before I watched it , when it comes to immigration in the UK , we don't do mature or reasoned so to watch something about immigration that is clever and funny and not an attempt to attack people for wanting to discuss immigration is a breath of fresh air. Clever and funny with some excellent acting.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Season 1 and the premise of the show. The relationships between characters was humorous yet strong.

However, Season 2? Did the writers change? Or the beverages at Channel 4? This season has been hilarious throughout! It's had me constantly laughing out loud, embarrassingly so. It has made me cry a few times too. The writing is just that good! The script has become the kind of comedy you would think would be turned away by all but the bravest of networks. It is totally brilliant. I've ended up finishing the show in two evenings, and I am left most definitely wanting more! The surprise of the year for me.
