Whites

This is one of the rare comedies that are actually funny! This one had me in stitches several times, and laughing often. A great cast of characters -- what a shame there's only one season!

Although there's nothing too original with the basic storyline of 'Whites' - the self-absorbed, ignorant lead, the sniveling assistant, the brazen smart-ass, the sassy female lead - it is none the less fun. When dissected, it's very much styled in the pattern of "The Office" (minus the interviews) but the actors put their own lovable quirkiness to their own characters. There's a bakers' dozen of laughs to be found - maybe not in the first episode - but as you get to know the characters, the more enjoyable the series becomes. Its good, consistent writing and you empathize with the them as good scripts should allow you to. Alan Davies is as annoying and fun as David Brent and Michael Scott. 'Whites' is an agreeable flavor of a sitcom as they come.

It's so bittersweet when you find a show this good but know its been cancelled so all you are going to get is one season. If only tv stations/corporations valued content more than profit shows like this would get renewed but from what I read the biggest reason this was cancelled was an effort to try and cut costs. These types of comedies are so well done since its nothing like a typical sitcom and takes a somewhat intelligent and sharp mind to be able to catch all the subtle jokes. I think this kind of comedy all started with BBC The Office so hope to see more like it in the future.

Stellar writing, a perfect cast, and excellent all-round production that should have lasted way beyond it's single season.

I just discovered this gem via a clip off of Reddit (eggless omelette) and watched all six episodes in a row.

It's full of clever situations, characters that are layered and sympathetic along with laugh-out-loud scenes that were perfectly executed. I can't believe this show didn't get the chance it deserved. Would figure that the BBC dishonorably cut it just because of budget restraints.

Do yourself a favor and watch this intelligently-written, superbly acted treasure.

Cheers!

The famous Kiki clip on Youtube made me watch this show, and I'm glad i did. This show is hilarious & entertaining from start to finish. The dialogues are very well written & made me genuinely laugh our loud numerous times throughout. Also the story is simple & straightforward, so it's easy to get into. At no point i felt bored or disinterested. All the characters have their own personalities & bring their own flair to the show. Ronald is a selfish but hilarious knob, Bib is a funny-unfunny guy, Kiki is dumb in the cutest way possible, and all the rest of the characters have their own attractive qualities. This show is a must watch IMO. I just hate the fact that they never made more seasons of it. Oh well, something is better than nothing!
