Mr. Bigstuff

Really enjoyed series 1 and looked forward to series 2 but felt disappointed after watching it all.

Danny Dyer is a joy, not a character actor by any stretch, just plays Danny Dyer and it's great to watch, Ryan Sampson on the other hand plays the down at heel loser only not as likeable as Grumio in Plebs or witty as Tommo in Brassic, this time I found the character just annoying.

Plotwise, it was always a vehicle for series 3, people liked series 1 so make as many more as you can, it worked for Brassic (to an extent). I just came away from series 2 thinking "was that it?".

'Mr Bigstuff follows two estranged brothers; Glen (Sampson), a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live a suburban ideal and Lee (Dyer), an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a tin full of their dad's ashes.'

I really didn't know what to expect when I first put on Mr Big stuff but I was genuinely happily surprised. It's a show that doesn't take itself too seriously, well doesn't take itself seriously at all - but it works. There are numerous moments with perfect comedic timing and the casting is great too. Danny Dyer is fantastic alongside Ryan Sampson whilst Adrian Scarborough and Faitha El-Ghorri were also standout in there roles. It also felt like they were having genuine fun with it also.

Mr Bigstuff is not trying to be groundbreaking, but is a feel-good series that is genuinely worth a watch, has the sort of easy to watch / easy going vibe to watch after a long day and unwind.

I'd give it a 7/10.

Starts off slow but gets better and better if you like plebs and brassic you will love this very good writing Ryan and Danny at there best all in all a good solid series bring on series 2 Rayn is as good in this as he his in plebs and Danny is all in all brilliant we need more comedy like this nice and steady all the actors are spot on even the one liners to be honest I have never been a big fan of Danny Dyer only been in one film I love that was severance this is as good as that film for style and comedy so please please the powers that be bring on series 2 great actors great script great series.

I genuinely enjoyed this series, a bit slow to start with then it's just gets better. It's has some great comedy moments and some really good feel factor moments as well. It was nice that I could finally watch something that my teenagers boys enjoyed too and we could watch as a family. Genius hiring Adrian Scarborough. There is really good chemistry between the cast I didn't want it to end. Love Ryan Sampson it was nice to see him play something a bit normal. It would be nice if the episodes where a bit longer. Looking forward to the next series which has been set up really well. Hope we don't have to wait too long for it!!

I've just binged season one of this comedy and I did have high hopes of really loving this show, because I'm a big fan of Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson's Tommo in Brassic, is different class, he's my favourite character in that show by a country mile. But sadly it failed to be as funny as I hoped. Yes in parts this comedy did have me chuckling to myself. But for a large percentage of it, I just felt annoyance and frustration. For me, my biggest gripe is that all the cast are just too shouty, too over the top, too hyper. Calm down everyone! You've all got far too much 'cocaine energy' and its tiring just watching you at times.
