Well, I seem to be the dissenting voice here but I really enjoyed this black comedy and am really sad to think that there may not be a second series. Stephen Mangan is a brilliant actor and perfect for this role. All I can say to all the unhappy viewers, is lighten up, folks!!

I have watched all 5 episodes so far, each one seems worse and I can actually see time slow down when this programme.

I have zero sympathy for the main character, and I'm starting to feel annoying with his tortured families as well. he's a bully, almost to point of mental torture.

This lacks any of the tact, humour and empathy required to turn a delicate and stressful situation into a comedy.

A complete waste of my Sky subscription fees...

If I could give this load of tosh a minus rating I would. In Australia we are being given half-hour episodes. I watched the first half hour and was seriously thinking about turning off, but kept going in the vain hope it would get better. It didn't. I gave the second half hour a go, against my better judgement, and gave up after ten minutes.

This is not a comedy, the jokes are stale and flat, and the subject matter demands a strong family drama. It could have been so much more, so much better. Mangan's dithery male act is beyond annoying, as is that dreadful floppy hairdo. How either of his women managed to stay with "Andrew" for more than five minutes is something I kept wondering about. He's one of the most annoying characters ever created.

Take my advice - don't waste your time.

I've now watched 5 episodes of this programme, it's not funny at all, just cringeworthy, you feel no sympathy for Andrew, just a cheating husband who will end up hurting his families.

Rubbish

My one wish for this show is that Stephan Mangan is not a writer for it, as with previous work, especially Episodes, I have been blown away and chuckled a lot! Alas with this show, it could not be farther from that!

I think this has been billed wrongly, this is a family drama more than comedy, which is the problem, it tries to be light hearted but simply the subject matter is not, and this leads to very awkward scenes, not least of which is the restaurant scene in episode 1. It was not funny and actually I cringed at some parts and was slightly offended in places. But this seems to be Sky style programming now, push the boundaries and take the risk!

I did see the trailers and was confused how the subject matter would work, and the answer from the first episode is it doesn't, it is no fault of any of the actors, it is entirely (again of recent times) of the script writing, it just is not suitable for the genre. I won't be watching any more episodes, but then I am sure some will find this as acceptable entertainment!
