Black Ops

At last! A decent comedy. I love Detectorists and The IT Crowd and they were the main laugh out loud comedies that I watched. I saw the trailer of this comedy and liked the look of it. I've just watched episode one and there are many laugh out loud moments, not just visual but spoken too. I'll be going back for more. Great plot too.

The actress playing Dom is very funny. I"m not sure where it's filmed as I didn't recognise any Hackney landmarks.

The only negative is the annoying music. I have the remote control ready for muting. NB: I'm not a teenager (someone felt the comedy was aimed at youngsters) I'm in my late 50s.

OK it's a bit OTT quick firing joke a minute, but the acting by all cast member (so far) is great.

I find UK shows so much more my level of humor and cadence.. This show is excellent. The chemistry with the two main characters is spot on. Its smart and funny and drama all at the same time.. thats hard to pull off.. its a great story line, plenty of hijynx, lots of HOLY COWS, a number of DID SEE THAT COMING... Seriously, well well done.. My only complaint about UK TV is that they only do 6 episode seasons.. us lazy americans like 20.. hahah we are a sad lot.. But i am so grateful for the internet and being able to bootleg UK TV.. It really makes me happy and this show is just a new addition to my tranquility..

Several laugh out loud moments in episode 1. Can't wait to watch episode 2. Funny - watch it. Anything that Hammed Animashaun is in is worth watching - he has funny bones, and is a brilliant actor (stage and tv/film). Such a great cast - what a treat. It should be advertised more. Silly, funny, witty, definitely British humour with class actors. This is definitely funnier than many programmes that get more attention advertising and press wise. More of this please. There's room for many types of humour on TV and it's always pleasing to get humour which manages to highlight something troubling or something blatantly suspect in society without being 'in your face'. It has that feel good subversiveness of Young Offenders.

Easy watch and a bit of fun. Likable lead characters and a good script.

The idea that members of the Metropolitan Police Force could be so inept isn't difficult to believe unfortunately. I enjoyed the interaction between the various cast members that kept a good pace and provided a few genuine laugh out loud moments. The trailers shown on the television did a good job of seeing the scene without using up all the best one liners. I've only watched the first episode so far but I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series. I'm in my sixties so I don't agree with a previous review that suggested it was one for the kids.

Based on the writing the target audience looked to be teenagers - so surprised to find this on BBC1 rather than BBC3.

The basic premise had a lot of scope for laughs but the show didn't quite know whether it wanted to be a drama or a comedy and fell flat somewhere in the middle. It wasn't sitcom LOL funny or straight drama dramatic. There was a lot of effing and blinding that felt out of place in what would have worked best as a daft comedy for a younger audience.

Cast did their best and were fine but storyline and lack of laughs in the script let it down. Be surprised if it finds an audience.
