Bliss

I have watched all 5 episodes so far, each one seems worse and I can actually see time slow down when this programme.

I have zero sympathy for the main character, and I'm starting to feel annoying with his tortured families as well. he's a bully, almost to point of mental torture.

This lacks any of the tact, humour and empathy required to turn a delicate and stressful situation into a comedy.

A complete waste of my Sky subscription fees...

I enjoyed this program and think the bad reviews are but harsh. I thought it took some issues and made a good story. With a what wil happen next vibe. I think the only negative on this program is the fact it was labelled comedy. I would label this dark comedy drama possibly.

I'm surprised so many people gave low ratings, love this show, makes you wonder what's going to happen next.

Hoping there will eventually be a second series but given all the bad reviews somewhat doubtful. A bit meandering and I was easily distracted but overall worth the watch. Too bad it ended in a cliffhanger! Just puzzled why Britbox and reviewers think John Gielgud was in this program? He died in 2000. This program was originally broadcast in 2018! Gielgud's last TV appearance was in 1998...

Stephen Mangan is very talented and funny, and I had hoped this show would utilize his skills. It did not. The subject matter is more awkward and stressful to watch than funny. The director/creator David Cross is also generally funny in an off the wall kind of way but this show seems out of character for him. I like a little heightened tension in TV series but not from the start to the end of each episode.
