Piglets

Could've been great if it had been written by someone who understood the job of police and could wrote something funny. Unfortunately, this is just amateur, stereotypical drivel that might appease certain demographics, but unlikely to appeal broadly. The jokes are flat, the acting is embarrassing and comedy is just not funny. Such a wasted opportunity to do something new Even Police Academy is funnier than this and I mean the last, really bad one. The best thing that could happen to this show is it quietly moved to the small hours of the morning and dropped slowly so the memory of even having laid eyes on it can be attributed to some kind of fever dream.

A lot of the reviews are making me laugh at how ridiculous they are! Hey, maybe humour has changed that much in the past few decades, and I've just not cared enough to pay attention

There is a mix of Green Wing, Friday Night Dinner, The Young Offenders, The Thin Blue Line, and a number of other comedy dramas in the kind of humour Piglets employs

It is funny in a silly, obvious way, with exaggerated characters and traits, and a story that is more about the relationships between them all rather than supporting a particularly strong message or overarching plot

I enjoyed it for its levity, warmth and ease of viewing, and it did make me laugh.

Well this one is really really scraping the barrel that a world champion barrel scraper had scraped till they couldn't scrape no more. Every single joke falls flat and misses the mark so much it's painful. It jammed full of unlikeable characters that for the most part you can't relate to them.

They throw every stereotype at you, filling the show with too many characters to give a decent story arc or much to do. The problem we have with some of modern sitcoms these days is the writer are to afraid to write something funny in case it offends someone. It's time for sitcoms to be funny once more.

To give you an idea of how unfunny this is, they have more laughs in an episode of Mrs Browns Boys.

About as funny as watching concrete dry, paint drying, wheat growing, sun rising, moon falling, rain falling, dog walking, nails growing...you get the idea.

Like something out of a politically correct Carry on film, only worse and more boring. Someone has made an attempt at an American sitcom, without the canned laughter (perhaps it should have been added).

Why o why, do people get paid to create this drivel.

Why is that a public service gets insulted with this calamity, and then we wonder why recruitment is an issue. Perhaps the losers that created this should actually join, contribute, gain real life experience and then, maybe then might they produce something amusing.

I understand McDonalds are recruiting, so your 'talents' may be best employed there. ITV what were you thinking, the cast of Crossroads would turn in their graves!

I was looking forward to seeing this show but after watching the first episode I was treated to a desperately unfunny collection of ridiculous characters, way over-acted and I just wanted them all to shut up. The worst being Superindent Fry played by the otherwise brilliant. Sarah Parish in ridiculous make up and disasterous dialogue. The talents of Mark Heap are left at the door as he more or less reprises his role of Jim from Friday Night Dinner who walked into Mr Benn's costume shop and came out as a policeman. The running story arc of the "plant" or "prune" is cringeworthy, as are the "piglets" themselves. I had hope for this given that Ricky Champ appears in every episode but he is just overplaying a parody trainer. I persevered to complete the series in the hope of raising a smile but sadly it was not to be. I gave the point for the brief explanations of the Spiderverse.
