Hello Ladies

Recorded the pilot for this show just to see what it was all about and I was very pleasantly surprised, to say the least. I have watched it several times, usually in the morning to start my day off right, and each time I watch it I can see subtle things that I had missed previously. There is a lot of humour in here that goes beyond the usual and deserves to be noticed, whether it is a facial expression and/or some unique body language. I think the supporting cast, in particular the tenant, are all great choices which result in a nice mix of somewhat damaged, and therefore human, characters. The main character however is priceless and brings to mind a less manic Fawlty. I also find it refreshing to watch a comedy that does not rely on predictable humour backed up by canned laughter which seems to be a common practice these days. I, for one, am very impressed with this comedy, it almost feels as though it could've been an eventual cult classic movie if it had been produced that way. I hope that it can manage to catch on but if it doesn't, it will be one of the series that I would definitely purchase when it becomes available, it just seems that good to me!

I understand the criticisms but the show has only gotten better. If you are a fan of gervais and merchant's other works, definitely check it out.

Stuart (merchant) can definitely be dislikable but i think overall he is a man who is just blinded by the medias portrayal of the Hollywood dating life. Episode 2 in particular, he comes off as an unsympathetic character but it picks right back up in episode 3 playing a desperate awkward loser. I hope the show picks up its steam like it did this week, because if it does, this show is a winner.

Not to mention the side characters are amazing like Jessica and Rory.

The show contains merchant's dry humor as well as the office- us (also creators of the show) silliness. Try it out and keep up with it as it is only improving.

It's simply one of the most hilarious show in the last years. I've just found it and I can't understand why they have done only a few episodes. It's much more comic than many shows that pretends to be comic, but it isn't at all.

I love it.

Love him or loathe him, you can't fail to see that Mr Merchant is an incredible talent with a good eye on what his strengths are. And on initial viewing he looks like he has crafted a work of genius with Hello Ladies. He made his name alongside a certain Ricky Gervais with the sort of awkward, hard to watch comedy in the UK Office & Hello ladies is much of the same in terms of "oh no did he really say that" type humour. The characters were all on point, Merchant was the main man & played his role to perfection, anyone who watched "Extras" will be reminded of the bar scene where him & Barry from Eastenders tried to chat the women up in the bar. Get this show watched it looks like it will be a cracker.

Didn't watch this after I watched the trailer but i'm glad I did. Yes some parts are kind of stupid like parts in the trailer and a lot of the jokes fall flat but the ones that didn't omg ! I must of rewound at least 6 scenes and cracked up each time. My fave character was the guy in the wheel chair. Ha he didn't have to work at all at getting the "ladies'. I wish they had continued on to see what happened with him and some of the other characters but they wrapped it up decently. I'm very picky about comedies but quite enjoyed this.

Edit: after reading some reviews here.... He's supposed to be a douchebag! Jesus! If it offends you,, simply don't watch! I often wonder who the real douchbags are when they watch a whole series , where the character's intentions/ personality are obvious from the get go are then come and complain. Boo hoo!
