Boomers

Let's start with a cast of seasoned, talented actors, who understand how to deliver subtle, arch, and breathtakingly clever comic dialogue, and then having talented writers who can produce it for them. Well, it just doesn't get better than this. Then add the subtle cinematography, which frames the action sympathetically. This is a gem of a television show. Nothing is obvious or seems to be overly wrought. And it has a very natural flow. Except that the dialogue has one funny thing after another in it. Concepts intricately overlap, and you never quite know where the show is headed. As a show dealing with lives starting to come to an end, I think it has no peer. That tepid, mindless, televisual chloroform that is ""Last Tango in Halifax" can't begin to hold a candle to this show. THIS is how it's done. Bravo!

Don't understand the disparaging reviews. Maybe some are out of their depth.

No one writes good comedy as well as the Brits, full of sarcasm.....love it.

Boomers isn't funny? Personally I reckon series two is about the best thing on telly at the moment.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the gentle humour is clearly either too young to understand the absurdities of our generation living in the modern world - or the sort of person that watches X Factor and thinks it's entertaining or that Britain actually has talent...

OK series two was a bit slow, but most first series are like that while they iron out the kinks - New Tricks was like that for example and that went on to great things.

Boomers is good old fashioned comedy sitcom. It's not deep or intellectual but it's not designed to be. Lay back and enjoy it for what it is. I know loads of people who are just like these characters in real life!

I recently stumbled upon this gem on Netflix and I must say, even though I am in my 30s, I found it incredibly funny, silly, and clever. It reminded me a lot of my parents, who also have a great sense of humor. The writing and acting were top-notch, with the cast showcasing amazing chemistry on screen. I found myself drawn to all the characters and their quirks. Overall, it was a delightful discovery that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good laugh and a heartwarming story.

Not sure about the low ratings, perhaps a younger demographic or used to a different type of comedy.

Can't wait to binge the rest of the episodes.
