Plebs

Joel. Fry left and so did my interest in this show. Joel Fry's character was always trying to have sex with every woman he meets and at least one man but it was still somehow endearing but his replacement is a borderline sexual predator who has absolutely no charm and only thinks of himself. Not once in series 4 did even a hint of a chuckle present itself. The first 22 episodes were fun, series 4 turned into mean spirited nonsense.

I loved this show, so much so that its now my most recommended show to my friends. Everyone is weary when i first tell them the premise and when they first see it. By the 2nd episode they also become a fellow plebeian. Give the show a try at least 2 episodes! You will most likely not regret it. Marcus can get a little annoying at times but Stylax more than makes up for it, being both a sexual deviant and a terrible influence. The pinnacle of the show is Grumio (Ryan Samson), he is hilarious and downright brilliant. The set up of the show is similar in each episode but the story is complex and witty. The landlord's banter with Grumio is also amazing.

Loving this - it's pretty much The Inbetweeners do Ancient Rome. Class.

The story focuses around 3 guys living in a pretty dull area of Rome (- not Gladiators, nor Senators, just blokes - hence the title) Tom Rosenthal plays the very straight Marcus, who has the most resentful slave ever in the fabulous Grunio (Ryan Sampson, rocking a hairdo like Howard from Big Bang, and pretty much channelling Baldrick with a grumpy attitude) They live with the over-sexed Stylax (Joel Fry), next door to the gorgeous but dim Cynthia (Sophie Colquhoun) and her scary and whip smart slave, Metella (Lydia Rose Bewley) - both from Briton.

A must see for Inbetweeners fans, do not miss the 2nd episode with Danny Dyer being a very macho but sensitive Gladiator.

Brilliant.

Well conceive series with an awesome cast in S1 to S3.

Music as often a nice 60s Ska back tracks.

Writing is silly and also at times intelligent .

Very recommended.

When it's about comedies with silly humor the British ones work the best for me. I really enjoyed every episode of Plebs. The simplistic lifestyle that is been shown might be repetitive but that's what makes it even better. The stupid and not useful jobs they have, their "slave" that does absolutely nothing, their constant failure to climb up the social ladder, the crush he has on his neighbor and the failures to get laid, it all makes it a very easy and fun series to watch. Tom Rosenthal, Joel Fry and Ryan Sampson all did an excellent job with their characters as well as the other actors in this series. The ska music in this show, although you would think that doesn't work in ancient Rome, is excellent. I caught myself skankin' more then once. The only sad thing about British shows is that they are usually quickly over even if they are really good. To me this one could go on for many more seasons.
