Hapless

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

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 ....

Edgy, provocative, very funny adult comedy steeped in the best traditions of Jewish, British and Finchley humour. Great gags. Great characters. Lovely insights into London Jewish life and foibles. As the director of a Jewish comedy doc ("Circumcise Me") and 30-year veteran of Jewish journalism (founding editor of the Jewish News and the now-defunct New Moon magazine) so much of this rings true. A real treat.

This is a great show, funny and jaw dropping in its non PC-ness at times, the windmills it tilts at deserve to be lanced. Essentially, everyone is selfish, greedy, stupid, kind, loving, big hearted and, well, human.

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.
