This Country

I tend to find I don't laugh out loud when I'm watching comedy's on my own but I was crying with laughter sat by myself through every episode and for that I just had to give it a ten. The series writers brilliantly capture a specific region of the country with characters very unlike myself, and yet I still found the dialogue really observant. The humour was often that great mix of being silly yet perceptive. I really like how understated the settings and story lines where it really brought out the strength of the writing and performances. I also thought the structure of each episode was really strong as each one came to a satisfying conclusion often with an emerging reference to something that was said or done at the start and through out there was never a line or comic moment wasted!

How can something this good be so unheard of?

Wish I'd watched it sooner

As often happens with a significant development in creative imagination, this show polarises its viewers into a great majority who absolutely love it and a minority who just don't get it. A shame for them but a joy for the rest of us. Best of all, despite achieving series three the show hasn't lost its fragile balance between the absurd and the deeply insightful. A real world has been created. Great achievement.

This is huge fun to watch. The writing is fresh and amusing and the mockumentary-style acting is utterly brilliant. The brother and sister really do pull-off an exceptional job of bouncing off each other in such a deadpan way. Their real-life father effortlessly performs his role as an unsavoury but hugely entertaining character.

If you like The Office and Alan Partridge, this series is a must watch.

Awesome!

This is the only review i have ever wrote on IMDb and here is why. This show, in my opinion has not had the recognition that it deserves. It is a fresh, crisp and comical series which is great fun to watch and will have you laughing, loudly from start to finish. The 2 main characters, despite being delinquents, are surprisingly lovable and portrayed brilliantly!
