Black Ops

I really wanted to rate this higher but it really is rather lame. I can put up with the over the top acting because that is part of the comedy. The music is really really annoying and doesn't add anything to the show. I laughed a few times in the early episodes but as it went on I started to loose the will to live. The show is one trick and not a very good trick. It relies on our two protagonists being as dumb as you can get, which doesn't add up because they were supposed to have held a job that relies on them having some brains. Anyway I was about to give up when I realised there were only two episodes to go, so I persevered. Not sure I'm the right demographic for this shallow comedy. Oh well never mind.

If you like the 21 Jump street vibe, you'd love this.

Its really funny, both the main characters did a solid job with the acting.

I don't understand how its dropped to under 6 here. Its pretty fast paced and not boring at all. I binged it all in one go.

Story is pretty derivative and not anything new but it still works really well. They also reference Line of Duty many times in the show (if you haven't watched that, give it a go). One of the best police crime/thriller shows ever made where the quality never falls off.

I hope they do a season 2 as this show definitely deserves a sequel. Watch at least the first episode fully before deciding whether to continue or not.

At last! A decent comedy. I love Detectorists and The IT Crowd and they were the main laugh out loud comedies that I watched. I saw the trailer of this comedy and liked the look of it. I've just watched episode one and there are many laugh out loud moments, not just visual but spoken too. I'll be going back for more. Great plot too.

The actress playing Dom is very funny. I"m not sure where it's filmed as I didn't recognise any Hackney landmarks.

The only negative is the annoying music. I have the remote control ready for muting. NB: I'm not a teenager (someone felt the comedy was aimed at youngsters) I'm in my late 50s.

OK it's a bit OTT quick firing joke a minute, but the acting by all cast member (so far) is great.

I find UK shows so much more my level of humor and cadence.. This show is excellent. The chemistry with the two main characters is spot on. Its smart and funny and drama all at the same time.. thats hard to pull off.. its a great story line, plenty of hijynx, lots of HOLY COWS, a number of DID SEE THAT COMING... Seriously, well well done.. My only complaint about UK TV is that they only do 6 episode seasons.. us lazy americans like 20.. hahah we are a sad lot.. But i am so grateful for the internet and being able to bootleg UK TV.. It really makes me happy and this show is just a new addition to my tranquility..

Based on the writing the target audience looked to be teenagers - so surprised to find this on BBC1 rather than BBC3.

The basic premise had a lot of scope for laughs but the show didn't quite know whether it wanted to be a drama or a comedy and fell flat somewhere in the middle. It wasn't sitcom LOL funny or straight drama dramatic. There was a lot of effing and blinding that felt out of place in what would have worked best as a daft comedy for a younger audience.

Cast did their best and were fine but storyline and lack of laughs in the script let it down. Be surprised if it finds an audience.
