Witless

An interesting story premise, well scripted, well acted with lots of laugh out loud moments. You know the writing is good when you find yourself rooting for the antiheros. I was gripped and binge watched all 3 series in one day.

More please, (Scared Witless?)

Some of the scenes are so awkward, normally when Kerry is involved it just hits my cringe buttons. The preciseness of Zoe is so sharp. Each episode is packed with so many different scenes. The super acting, facial expressions and identifiable characters draw you in. It manages to stay light even in scenes of murder, there is never a feeling of darkness, but a slightly quirky realism. I missed the starts with John Inverdale, I wish he could have been in more, that beard had me howling. Jackie, made the first series for me, well cast, acted, in all a superb comedy.Possibly a slow burner from the point of recognition and publicity as few people seems to have heard of it despite it being so good. Great one from the BBC.

If , like me, you momentarily feel the first of season 3 is not quite up to the standard of previous seasons, maintain the faith: the last season is the best of all. For those who haven't discovered this excellent show yet, you're really missing out. Kerry Howard & Zoe Boyle star as 2 hapless witnesses caught in web of ineptitude and iniquity. Their chemistry is perfect, and they're strongly supported by an excellent cast (Samuel Anderson is especially good, and grows in his role.) and a, sometimes macabrely, funny script.

This is one of the best light comedies for many a year - it is brilliantly acted, cleverly directed and even the credits are well designed. It's not edgy but who cares - it's out-and-out fun

As with every show from the UK, the humor and pace here are a bit different than what I'm used to from American shows, but it got me hooked from episode one. It's quirky, it's different, and it's also funny. It doesn't beat around the bush much, sometimes the humor gets dark, but if you enjoy UK comedies, this should be right up your alley.

I'd say the show isn't for everyone, but I myself sure do enjoy it and I'll be pouting at how short the season is going to be (so short ;<).

The plot progresses at a fast pace and I'm glad they didn't go with some problem-of-the-week structure. Things change episode to episode and I sure didn't expect that from a comedy. But I approve wholeheartedly!
