Does Apple Astro turf good reviews on here? This episode and this series are really bad. Trained agents failing to subdue anyone or even remember the plate or make of a van that nearly runs them over, twice.

This is objectively a badly written season. The first 4 seasons were a different show entirely. This fifth one has no plot, characters acting uncharacteristically and twists that are so obvious, I spotted them, yet the MI5 completely missed them.

That ratio speaks for itself. This is a very poorly written comedy sketch show. Each episode has 5 or 6 skippable sketches and one or two that raised a small smile, or at least feel neatly observed. Too many sketches are paper thin premises which then outstay their welcome by three or four minutes.

When they have half decent material (the airport bit, the therapist), Mitchell & Webb's chemistry works well. But too often I was so bored. It's like watching a poorly written student show.
