Porters

A cracking idea but why only three episodes? There looks to be bags of potential here so let's hope we get more. The whole package is absolutely spot on - first-rate writing, good pacing and terrific casting. Edward Easton is a superbly innocent fall guy surrounded by an excellent cast who hardly even notice bringing him down. It's a comedy of the old sort. In other words, funny, unlike anything from Gervais or, it hurts me to say, Coogan.

I used to be an Hospital Porter, RNH HASLAR Military - NHS mixed, Gosport, Hants, England. We had a lot of laughs with the Job and Armed Forces, you need a sense of Humour in an Hospital. Bring Porters back, it was a good laugh, R. I. P. Rutger...

Oh why Rutger, why? This series lacks the character to even be described as bad. Back when laugh tracks were a thing you could get away with this, but now without the canned variety to coerce the real thing?

I like these English silly shows, but this is one I don't like.

It's not funny, just chaotic and strange.

Why did Rutger (Dutch like me) play a German person? Strange, perhaps because he looks like an Ariër?

Well this is not my cup of tea or nicht meine Tasse Kaffee!

A vanilla sitcom, set in a hospital, that doesn't push the envelope in any way (cf. Green Wing). Pretty harmless, but not particularly entertaining.

Having watched the first episode, I wasn't enticed to watch the final two.

The most interesting aspect was Rutger Hauer's character. As well portrayed as you'd expect by such an experienced and talented actor; and nicely scripted. But he's too much of a background ("Zen Master") character, to really pull you in. No "I've seen bedpans on fire off the shoulder of Orion" moments, I'm afraid.
