Siblings

From the music, to the faux cricket character in the first episode, it's like they've tried to remake IASIP, but badly. If you've never seen It's Always Sunny, you should, this isn't it.

It seems to me that the creators of this show intended to ride the wave in popularity of cringe sitcoms, repackaging a now familiar premise for a young, British audience. The writing comes off as a joke factory, where cheap laughs are sought by having selfish, insensitive protagonists make token politically incorrect gaffes. The premise of selfish and cynical people, oblivious to the havoc caused by their schemes and plans to get ahead, feels old hat in 2014 having been done over and over but with a great more success in shows like "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Extras" and "Always Sunny in Philadelpia." The theme music of Siblings is almost the same as "Always Sunny," the music for which was chosen because it had Creative Commons licensing and had a soapiness that seems ironic in show with such cynical, politically tone deaf characters. I don't know if the choice of music was a coincidence or if it was meant to be an homage, either way, in the case of "Siblings" it added to the sense that I was watching a formulaic, gimmicky imitation of previous shows.

Every episode is a handcrafted masterpiece.

A perfect balance of writing, directing and acting.

Two car crash syblings racing through life at full pelt with absolutely no fear of consequences just let's try it and see. Of course in the best of traditions the audience know how badly it will go but somehow they usually come up trumps.

A true joy

I've only seen about six episodes , altogether, from both series , and the show had me bursting into fits like my stomach would explode laughing . I noticed series two was on the same time as some other popular comedy , so it may have been overlooked by a big audience .

To tell you the truth I wasn't expecting to like this. After the first 3-4' minutes of the pilot I was about to bash it hard, even for the choice of music that remind me "It's always sunny in Philadelphia". But after that, I did find it watchable despite the mediocre, not to mention, obvious jokes.

The premise: It's about a young girl who is a slacker at work and lives with his Keanu Reeves obsessed immature brother. In the pilot we see all the trouble she's getting into, just to avoid some work in her office. If you ask me it would be easier to just ...work!

Anyway. Haven't see any of these (British) actors before. They are OK I guess, not hilarious but funny enough. I will see the following episode too. I hope it gets even better.

Overall: Seems OK. Check it out and decide.
