Timewasters

Just stumbled across this series and I'm hooked on it! It's fresh it's crazy it's brilliant. It does social commentary is such a clever way- it mocks it exposes bigotry all wrapped up in quick fire humour! Very very clever, well acted well played - it integrates little cameos from various films e.g. Get Me Out - Stepford Wives and spoofs them up! Great writing keep up the good work- hope we see more of this Team on our TV please

Just binge watched Timewasters on Freevee 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽, love everything about it!!! Now I'm sad to learn and trying to understand why it wasn't picked up for a 3rd season??!!

If I had the means I'd pick it up for the 3rd. Those of us here in the States would welcome this historical comedic twist and cast of characters 😂😅😂😅

I LOOOVVVEEE this show. It's well written and beautifully acted in a way that you don't see everyday here in the US where everything is either cookie cutter or trying too hard to be original. One thing I did notice was the close resemblance of the four characters to the lead characters of "what's happenin" The American sitcom from the 70s. They have a Raj, a Rerun, a Dwayne, and even a Dee. It's no copy though. The time travel angle and storylines are completely original. The show manages to handle race (and sexism) in yesteryear England with some honesty without sacrificing humor or becoming somber. It's absolutely worth a watch, but...no kids in the room and skip it if you're a Hallmark movie churchy type. Oh and don't listen to the grumblers. People like to forget that Black people existed before the Cosby show.

Love the idea and execution of this show! I'm finding British shows are light years ahead of American shows when displaying grounded comedy from a Black perspective. While the cast is Black, the comedy is relatable to a diverse audience. Pleasantly surprised colorism is not present.

Time travel is not traditionally considered for Black characters, as one character muses that Black people don't have a desirable prior decade to want to visit. Overall, a light-hearted, witty comedy that I immensely enjoyed.

I wish this show was my idea! The writing, premise and plot are fantastic. In some places, it may come across as thin on jokes, especially if you're used to U. S. sitcoms, but overall very good.
