Te odeio

Writer Robert Popper has worked on some real comedy gold like the Inbetweeners and Peep Show but this wasn't one to add to that portfolio. Despite a good cast and production values the premise and script fell short. It had some amusing moments and good one-liners here and there but the storyline was quite improbable and overall it didn't come off.

Would like to think it will get better over time but can't see a second series for this one as I'm not sure who the audience will be. Not traditionally structured and written sharply enough for older viewers and not 'hip' enough to attract a younger audience.

Bottom line neeeded to be a lot funnier. A middling sitcom that will soon be forgotten.

To be honest I read a few reviews and thought about skipping it but I like her from sex education and thought I'd give it a go. It was like a lot of British comedies, a bit all over the place, new age humour isn't particularly funny, trying to tie in the contradiction that Is the social media hypocrites, it's impossible to please everyone.

There were bits that were natural, I thought parts were very funny, but sometimes they tried to force a joke, that was poor. But overall it was a decent comedy, passed the time on a sick day and I'd watch a series two, I thought there's potential, problem we have these days is people rate 1 or 10/10 so stuff gets loved or binned off. I'd give this one more go, women don't have an easy route in comedy.

The one thing I thought was funny was the intro, it felt like someone watched peacemaker and tried to clone it and it was a fail, it immediately made the characters tougher to like and route for so that was a mistake.

Decided to check out the cast on here after enjoying a couple of episodes. Sad to see some really poor reviews (in my opinion). Give it a shot, it's a bit quirky but fun and I'm sure some can even relate to some of the situations!

I won't bother deconstructing the poor reviews that have unfairly picked holes in every little detail they could. If you don't find it funny then switch over (don't complain you've wasted your life watching three episodes that you didn't find funny....that in itself is comedy gold haha!), chances are others won't appreciate your humour either. It's all subjective! Enjoy!

9/10, not because it is close to perfection, but it is far better than the snap-judgement harsh reviews would suggest.

It's a shame that quirky cannot make it past knee-jerk jerks. Michael Hogan in The Telegraph cites one of his irritations in a one-star review as a "Talking horse". Grossly unfair, because he seems to set out to hate the program. The horse is there, but only for two seconds at the end of the opening title sequence.

And I can't really take the opinion of a bearded fuddy-duddy seriously when his recommendations include "The Wheel", and "Saturday Night Takeaway". Pitiful. One of his scathing criticisms is that it is a storyline about two young women, written by - shock horror - a middle-aged man. Of course, J. R. R. Tolkien failed miserably with LOTR because he wasn't a wizard, elf, sentient tree, or hobbit.

But, back to what I see as plusses for "I Hate You". Two excellent leads, snappy lines, curiously amusing situations and niche comedy brilliance (Sustaining an injury after ignoring advice not to try running while listening to Jazz), and the occasional quickly handled running gags (DOG ADOPTIONS).

It's not for everyone. I mentioned the U. S. A. Because I watched the pilot of "Two Broke Girls", and two sentences in, the "audience" are in paroxsyms of laughter.

No such cues for the dim in "I Hate You".

I found Jonny Sweet's Bob Oxygen had a great name, but a stilted delivery, and a slightly irritating character. "A. Plant" was good enough, but it is Tanya Reynolds and Melissa Saint that shine. They perfectly deliver lines such as the response to "Post-punk, but also retro".

I'm not really a fan of Robert Popper's work - I thought "Friday Night Dinner" was a bit of a dud - but I found lots in "I Hate You" to enjoy, and was hoping for at least a second series. Thanks to lazy journalism and reviews seemingly given after viewing 2-3 minutes of one episode, there will be no follow-up.

I was quickly drawn in by the endearingly zany (and well-choreographed) title sequence, and the debate on whether humans have evolved from bears touches on many aspects of relationships, and fake news, without labouring for one moment.

Why oh why does "Mrs. Brown's Boys" never flushes, but something quite subtle gets culled?

I. H. Y., R. I. P. :-(

Feels like a lot of the bad sentiment about this show comes from a place of misogyny; god forbid young women make complicated decisions and have a libido. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone that enjoyed the same silly humour on Friday Night Dinner.

The lead actors perform the sharp, humorous writing well, and a convincing yet bizarre world is established around them. Again, anyone fans of one the previous lead's past experience (Sex Education), or of the creator's past project, Friday Night Dinner, should thoroughly enjoy the show.

The show covers a range of different concerns facing those in their mid-20s, especially those living around London and big cities, with a light, funny but, when needed, heartfelt touch.
