Avoidance

I'm 4 episodes in. Wasn't sure at first. Definitely a slow burner, but stay will it. All lead characters are great. Humour fantastic. Jessica at her best.

... transition from season one to season two required a leap of faith... and season two ends as if the production can-be-over... with little to offer that is not routine, unfunny situations episode upon episode, why it should go on at all is debatable

... cast is adequate for what they've been given to perform... there's lots really annoying at times, and you'll find yourself either sitting waiting for something halfway-meaningful to happen, or fast-forwarding through increasing segments of nondescript-proceedings.. should there be a season three, what more can be accomplished-said.. this really should be over.

Romesh Ranganathan is a great comedian, but his strength lies in his dry and acerbic quick wit. Strip that away and you're left with what you have here - a dull, wet character who weaponises his incompetence and bores the pants off the viewer.

The writing is slow and shallow, the supporting cast are given very little to work with, and RR's Jonathan is frustratingly unlikeable; he really doesn't have any endearing qualities at all. The man is a walking red flag.

The only way that the show could improve is for the main character to realise what a passive aggressive, selfish turnip he is, which would then mean the show ceased to exist...

Seriously disappointing.

I am a big fan of Romesh when he is playing himself. He has acting potential and his dry delivery of one liners never misses but ultimitely the show feels like something is lacking and it just isn't particularly funny. It's a very boring plot and the dialogue does not make up for it. I find alot of the scenes/ dialogue to be empty, drawn out and often awkward. There are no laugh out loud momements but there are some mildy humorous aspects. I want Romesh to explore all creative outputs but for me he really shines when he isn't as strictly scripted and responding to other actors. Unfortuntely some of the acting is not the best and it doesn't help the with akwardness of the line deliveries and lack of substance of the plot etc.

A story of a hopeless 40 something man going through a breakup and dragging his extended family in to the drama. Lots of heartfelt moments and funny parts (I would describe it as amusing rather than laugh out loud). Romesh plays his role well, a shout out to the kid who plays Spencer, his son, he is brilliant and the scenes with just the two of them in are my favourit.
