Mr. Bigstuff

Gave this show a go after seeing the trailer. Was a bit dubious when the first episode started. Wasn't sure what to make of it. But gradually as the episode went on, little bits & pieces actually made me laugh out loud. Only intended to watch one episode before bed. I've ended up binge watching every episode. To say this show is well written would be an understatement. It's hilariously funny & poignant in equal measure. The characters have great depth and the actors bring them to life perfectly. I would definitely recommend giving this show a go. The ending was outstanding. I really hope there's a second series. Well done all involved.

Just finished binging this great series. Great acting, great humour. Danny Dyer has found himself again after losing his personality on EastEnders.

It starts as it means to go on and dives straight into the story line which is great, you don't have to watch endless fluff to get the backdrop which is the case for some other series.

You will repeat the spoon dance scene around 10 times and laugh just as hard each time.

The only issue is when you finish you are left awaiting the 2nd season which must surely be in the pipeline as it is fully set up for it.

Some of the characterisations are really funny, Glen's boss is hilarious on his own and everyone has seen an Ayesha character these days. Both very funny.

Highly recommend, unsure how there are 1/10 ratings, that is a bit of an insult to a thoroughly entertaining production.

I genuinely enjoyed this series, a bit slow to start with then it's just gets better. It's has some great comedy moments and some really good feel factor moments as well. It was nice that I could finally watch something that my teenagers boys enjoyed too and we could watch as a family. Genius hiring Adrian Scarborough. There is really good chemistry between the cast I didn't want it to end. Love Ryan Sampson it was nice to see him play something a bit normal. It would be nice if the episodes where a bit longer. Looking forward to the next series which has been set up really well. Hope we don't have to wait too long for it!!

'Mr Bigstuff follows two estranged brothers; Glen (Sampson), a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live a suburban ideal and Lee (Dyer), an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a tin full of their dad's ashes.'

I really didn't know what to expect when I first put on Mr Big stuff but I was genuinely happily surprised. It's a show that doesn't take itself too seriously, well doesn't take itself seriously at all - but it works. There are numerous moments with perfect comedic timing and the casting is great too. Danny Dyer is fantastic alongside Ryan Sampson whilst Adrian Scarborough and Faitha El-Ghorri were also standout in there roles. It also felt like they were having genuine fun with it also.

Mr Bigstuff is not trying to be groundbreaking, but is a feel-good series that is genuinely worth a watch, has the sort of easy to watch / easy going vibe to watch after a long day and unwind.

I'd give it a 7/10.

I'm only halfway through this series so far and am really enjoying this. I cannot understand the bad reviews at all! I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before starting it as it may have put me off watching.

It has a great cast, it's easy to watch, and quite funny! Those reviews that are saying Danny Dyer is playing Danny Dyer clearly haven't got past the first episode. He may have used his own accent, but his character is entirely different!

Can't wait to finish this and I hope it gets renewed for a second season.

Seems to me that this show is like marmite, you're either going to love it or hate it. But give it a try and don't quit on the first episode!!!
