Boomers

Truth is, I find Boomers very funny. Again, it is not supposed to be dramatic or intense, just something that is for the laugh. You can sit back and enjoy it with your family. Most people judges Boomers from the start but I believe that it has quite many potentials. The show does, indeed, get funnier later on in the series. The show is entertaining, wonderful cast ( mostly Philip Jackson, who I can recognize from Poirot) and is very relate-able.

I find the characters sharing personality traits that I can see in my older relatives. I believe that the people who were quick to give this show a 1 star were expecting a more dramatic, silly kind of comedy show.

Boomers is your old-fashioned sitcom, funny and relate-able.

I recently stumbled upon this gem on Netflix and I must say, even though I am in my 30s, I found it incredibly funny, silly, and clever. It reminded me a lot of my parents, who also have a great sense of humor. The writing and acting were top-notch, with the cast showcasing amazing chemistry on screen. I found myself drawn to all the characters and their quirks. Overall, it was a delightful discovery that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good laugh and a heartwarming story.

Not sure about the low ratings, perhaps a younger demographic or used to a different type of comedy.

Can't wait to binge the rest of the episodes.

Let's start with a cast of seasoned, talented actors, who understand how to deliver subtle, arch, and breathtakingly clever comic dialogue, and then having talented writers who can produce it for them. Well, it just doesn't get better than this. Then add the subtle cinematography, which frames the action sympathetically. This is a gem of a television show. Nothing is obvious or seems to be overly wrought. And it has a very natural flow. Except that the dialogue has one funny thing after another in it. Concepts intricately overlap, and you never quite know where the show is headed. As a show dealing with lives starting to come to an end, I think it has no peer. That tepid, mindless, televisual chloroform that is ""Last Tango in Halifax" can't begin to hold a candle to this show. THIS is how it's done. Bravo!

We really enjoyed this series. You'll recognize the actors, if you are fans of British TV. Good, well placed 60's music. Nice break from dramas.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I was quite disappointed to see that there were only two seasons of Boomers. I'm assuming that there might be some stark differences in what is considered to be funny in the US versus what is deemed humorous in the UK as I noticed a lot of poor reviews for this title. I guess that might explain the show not making it past two seasons. That, or the writers were just ahead of their time as I am watching this 10 years after it was created. I rated it a 9/10 as the pace of the show does seem to slow done at times, but overall, the writing, the acting, and the chemistry amongst the cast mates were wonderful.
