    It's a seriously funny show.

    It's a very funny series that seems somewhat ahead of its time, two series of terrific humour, sarcasm, absurdities, and definite touches of realism.

    They took a group of people, namely social workers, and tried to show what they deal with, and add in some humour, they took some subjects, that are now almost too offensive to even mention, and made them funny, and why not? When did people lose their sense of humour?

    Georgie Glen as Denise is an absolute riot, she is so funny, so cutting and scathing, she is the perfect opposite to Rose and Al. The timing is superb, Davies and Brand are just great together.

    I wish there had been a third series, it should not have ended when it did, deserved a longer run.

    It's quite left leaning it's fair to say, not sure anyone could argue with that, Daily Mail readers may be offended, Guardian readers will love it.

    Great show. 9/10.

    Brilliant! How have I only just discovered this?

    Holy moly what a gem this show is! I stumbled upon it on the streaming service Stan, and have just finished watching the first season. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it so easy to watch. I personally found the style of humour to genuinely be very funny. It's very witty, black, sassy, serious, it's my jam <3 Damned finds the funny in social services. I love each character and their oddities. I love the awkward moments. This is coming from someone who enjoys those awkward moments on Peep Show haha - and on that note, the actress who plays Dobby is in this show Damned! Such a pleasant surprise :) Any who, I am really looking forward to starting the second season of this show, and highly recommend it to others. I had to write a review here, as there are only 8 here so far, and there should be more. I do really hope that this show gets discovered and enjoyed by more people. It's certainly worthy of the recognition! All the best and happy watching :)

    Let it grow on you

    When I saw the first episode I thought, great another bland, poorly written, dramedy, but give it time to grow on you and you quickly realise what a well observed, well acted piece of work it actually is, almost every comedy show I love I didn't like my first taste of, but over a year after seeing the first episode as has always been the case something made me come back to this show and I am very glad I did, it's allot better than it gets credit for.

    Great show, why was it cancelled?

    Set in a social services office around 2 of the social workers. Both funny and sad. Poingnant on occasions. Well worth watching, particularly Alan Davies' low key, but exactly right, performance.

    God I love this show! Netflix pick this up.

    This is one of my all time favorites. It's so funny and well written and you really get a sense of who each character is. So bummed this got cancelled I reached out to see if they shopped it around and apparently no one wanted to pick it up. I wish Netflix or Hulu would pick up the two seasons so more people could see this. It never aired here in America which absolutely does not make sense. This is a hoot! Definitely check it out if you haven't seen it.
