Avoidance

... 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.

....and that would be the comedy. I think Romesh Ranganathan is a funny comedian, but this is just boring. I made it to episode 2, but when the funny bit is people burping because they've eaten too much chilli, you know the writing is bad.

It's a whimsical sitcom, but without the com bit.

I've given up on it after episode 2.

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.

The main character is a "serial avoider", avoiding issues, confrontation and life in general. He bumbles along and every episode shows his incompetence in handling life issues. The theme works for about the first 2 episodes but one soon realizes that that's all there is to the series. Nothing really happens other than the lead character constantly making a hash of his life (and those around him) and getting nowhere, other than just being a source of annoyance to those around him.

The acting is on par with your usual sitcom and the only thing missing is a canned laughter track. Characters are very shallow and there is just not enough substance to hold a viewer's interest. Gave up after episode 4. Hopefully, there will not be a second season.

I love pretty much everything Romesh is in because I love his awkwardness and deadpan style. Could of really good characters in it, not edgy or hard hitting but I did enjoy it.
