Burnistoun

This is a great show. I grew up in Scotland (10 years) and didn't struggle with the accents and dialects. Much. But some might.

This is a brilliant sketch show unbridled by commercial constraints, yet with a big enough budget for good sets and make up. The writing is fresh, brave, and hilarious. The acting is top notch.

...and Kirsty Strain is the kind of beauty I'd crawl over broken glass for, just to see her reflection in a window. A legendary screen beauty who I hope, and not solely because of her looks as she's a great talent, goes on to achieve great fame . A genuine stunner.

In fact, I hope these people go on to bigger and better things, they deserve it.

Give it a watch. It's actually good.

I took some time to understand the accent and did not expect to like this show. Was totally underwhelmed with the first episode but the show did get progressively funnier. It isn't unique but has a great perspective and I do believe that some audiences will either love it or absolutely hate it.

Nevertheless I look forward to seeing the next few seasons.

Burnistoun is a great blend of wacky characters, wonderfully silly sketches and unique storytelling. It's a little bit crude in places and there's a lot of those moments where you wonder if there really are people like the characters. Whether it's Alex Ciderson's adverts of outrageous products or something like a serial killer whose disgruntled at his portrayal in the press, it's definitely a rather amusing watch.

I'm from Cumbria. so I get the accents. Other people might not. This show was so funny. I really liked it. Great characters. Davey McGrogan. Jolly Boy John. You have to watch this.

Burnistoun has made me laugh harder than I could possibly imagine over its 3 season run with 3 one-off specials and a pilot episode, and the attention this show gets is well deserved. They portray Glaswegians, including me, as who they really are: loud and funny. Robert Florence and Iain Connell captured us perfectly, and their writing is genius.

All I do have to say is: if you're an old-yin, and hate stupid, nonsensical humour, maybe you should just skip this one and go back to watching Law and Order, or CSI: Miami in the nursing home. They're sketches, and they're not meant to be taken seriously.
