Hapless

Really enjoyed watching this series, I binged on it, and it went by all too fast! Hopefully a 2nd series coming soon. Great performance from Tim Downie and very well written. I have recommended it to several friends already, I see a lot of people likening it to Friday Night Dinner, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and its true it is in a similar vein, but those shows are very funny and this one is NOT a poor imitation - just as good, if not better. (better than FriNghtDin in my opinion)... and its included in Prime so that's a bonus! Well done Amazon... Enjoy!

Story lines around jewishness. Everything is a bit forced. Pleasant mild , harmless humour but never quit hits the mark.

The characters are all too similar.

The conflict that is supposed to create comedy are banal and don't really engage ones interest.

The main character is endearing but has a unconvincing , contrived , long suffering persona.

The concept of the show has promise but it doesn't quite deliver.

It's hard to fulfill the quotia requirements for the review of a show that is so easily forgotten whilst watching it. A little harsh perhaps. I have only seen 4 episodes and really there was ....

Great show. Very different to the standard British sitcom even though it is made in the same format it is just done differently. Very enjoyable from start to finish. Hope they make a new series.

I didn't know what to expect and was laughing from the off. If you like the comedy of pain, if you've ever been thwarted, if you're a striver... then this will make you howl.

A fresh and exciting comedy, Tim Downie at his comedic best as a hapless investigative journalist, in angst with his sister, Naomi (Lucy Montgomery). Downie, leaps from one calamitous story to another, leaving a trail of funny 'disasters' behind, which he then has to try and put right, which doesn't always go according to plan! Daniel Sinyor is a little gem he plays Paul's (Downie's) young nephew, (Joshie) who seems to be involved somehow in Paul's misadventures
