Zapped

There comes a point on a TV series when it takes its overall stupidity and just plain senselessness and works with it. Its purely mindless and doesn't aim to have a fully coherent story line because that's not the point! I can't believe people would rate it lower purely on the fact that they want the plot to be better when that isn't the whole point of watching the show!

Overall, quite nicely made.

Quirky . bit red dwarf and discworld . great cast of actors, light humor. Last season incorporated too many know song tracks. if they ever make a reunion season, I hope it is as good or better , not a tired rehash ....

Came across this show because watching Dave one day. This is truly wonderful and deserves a real following. Paul Kaye and James Buckley are brilliant together. It's like a mix of Red Dwarf and Terry Pratchett. Paul Kaye is my favourite character so far playing the slightly useless but eccentric wizard Howell followed closely by Sharon Rooney's Soothsayer Barbara.

I fell in at the first episode of the second series and immediately knew I had found something great. Went back and watch the first series. It's hilarious from the start. It's an easy going, well rounded comedy, following a wonderfully kooky fantasy story with 6 foot burly fairies and a plethora of other creatures.

A definite must watch for a lazy night in.

I really enjoyed the off beat humor and subtle acting styles in this comedy. Creative sets and clever comedy make this a superstar in my book. Now im not going to phone in a review by simply saying its great and i love it or it sucks and i hate it like some of the many casual reviewers might. I am going to point out how it does not use unrealistically beautiful people in its casting unless that is the point. How the source from people already in the business like the puppeteer also playing a character. I am nbot going to watch things i know i won't like either then simply bash them as being bad cause they don't suit my tastes. I am not some weird single male with 4 cats. I am a serious videophile who watches over half of every given genre and almost everything in a quarter of each genre such as comedy fantasy drama. If you loved the cult classic red dwarf this is in the same vein of subtle sub-textual humor pieces that observant intelligent viewers should appreciate. I also enjoy the steg stegson character as he reminds me of the actor from black books but a bit shorter and happier faced. Unbridled acting makes this fun to watch as im sure it was fun to create for the actors.

I stumbled upon this on Dave after watching the latest series of Red Dwarf and I'm so glad I did as this is like watching a touch of sliders with a huge portion of Discworld. Expertly acted and excellent comedy delivery , I haven't found a single thing that needs improving. What really add to it is the varied range of actors such as James Buckley ( Inbetweeners ) Paul Kaye ( you may remember him as Dennis Pennis), Ricky Grover ( normally plays Gangsters. If you like Discworld you will love this and if you don't , well I still think you will love it. It has that quick firing gag delivery that used to be a big part of British comedy , extremely recommended
