A Whole Lifetime with Jamie Demetriou

Other reviews seem like people upset it isn't an hour long episode of Stath lets flats. It's not that but it's still really funny. Hilarious sketch concepts and musical parody moments. So clever and laugh out loud funny we didn't want it to end! Loved seeing the Stath Let's Flats actor pop up in lots of scenes too. Particularly loved the first millennial sketch - Jamie's writing is seriously clever and makes the every day funny. We missed watching Stath Let's Flats as binged it so quickly so was happy to see this special pop up on Netflix and hope he gets to do more. His characters are always brilliant.

So disappointed in this, I am a massive Stath let's Flats fan and had high hopes for more character comedy genius but was left completely disappointed. The whole thing is a messy mish mash of quite frankly nonsense. The comedy doesn't root itself in anything relatable or funny. It's not even weird in a kooky out there comedy genius way it's just boring predictable nonsense! Jamie is however a brilliant comedy actor and he can pull off such varied characters so well and this showcased his brilliant diversity in acting but really none of his comedic writing skills. I guess it will always be hard to follow up a hit show but sometimes as in this case it's best not to try. I really hope he can find his comedy again and come back with a well put together quirky and most importantly FUNNY show. Sorry Jamie this wasn't it.

Loved Stath, but didn't get series 3 as much as the others, so was unsure if I'd given Jamie and his regulars too much credit. However...

His Comic Relief sketches were inspired, doing his own thing to the max, then a great song by the ensemble.

Wasn't sure about this Netflix special, but stuck the trailer on and was intrigued (the old hospital man needs his own series!). So glad I watched it - I honestly think it's the funniest thing I've watched in the last few years. Some of the sketches were incredibly fresh and unexpected. I've only docked a star for the Best Man sketch, but probably being a bit mean. The only thing similar (to me) is I Think I Should Leave, but both are unique. Want more more more now, but will gladly watch this again, whenever I just want a laugh. Thanks.

Was wanting so much better from this as I know he's a funny comedian, but this seems like a cheap version of Bo Burnham songs lacking the good writing. There isn't the storyline and writing to match similar things like Toast either that also includes occasional songs. A neat idea and collection of stories through life which might have been better as five minute sketches put out on YouTube like baby cow does. This seems like a bunch of sixth formers have written it and put it together , or maybe I'm not the right audience and some will fall about themselves. For those who've seen Woody Allen you'll expect more . Shame.

This is great. It's subtle and it's hilarious. If you can't see that then you're no fan of Ricky Gervaise, Alan Partridge or Month Python.

This boy is going places (and no I'm not his gorgeous sister).

Now I'm gonna just repeat this to get over the absurd minimum character thing IMBD have done for some reason...
