Timewasters

It's no future classic comedy but I'm surprised by some of the reviews calling it terrible and racist. It's amusing and has it's moments and because it deals with the issues of racism in the 1950's , this seems to be the reason people call it racism, there is no point whitewashing history but laughing at how ridicolous attitudes should never be considered racist but should be considered a look back in time. It's watchable and certainly something I would consider watching , it's not going to change the world but amusing comedy that deals with thorny issues should be encouraged.

Love the idea and execution of this show! I'm finding British shows are light years ahead of American shows when displaying grounded comedy from a Black perspective. While the cast is Black, the comedy is relatable to a diverse audience. Pleasantly surprised colorism is not present.

Time travel is not traditionally considered for Black characters, as one character muses that Black people don't have a desirable prior decade to want to visit. Overall, a light-hearted, witty comedy that I immensely enjoyed.

I thought the premise for Timewasters was innovative, the execution could of been a bit more thorough. As I watched all the episodes in one day, I was hoping for that climatic moment of relief when my hours spent watching feel worth the time which it did during musical scenes. I felt the episodes starting to drift off into mediocre bad children's tv. My rating of 6 might seem high, however that score is based on the concept of timewasters, the costumes and scenery and the musical elements of the show. Hopefully in time this show could be revived with better dialogue and episodes that lead to somewhere that make sense. After all I believe this show's audience is for a more mature audience.

Just stumbled across this series and I'm hooked on it! It's fresh it's crazy it's brilliant. It does social commentary is such a clever way- it mocks it exposes bigotry all wrapped up in quick fire humour! Very very clever, well acted well played - it integrates little cameos from various films e.g. Get Me Out - Stepford Wives and spoofs them up! Great writing keep up the good work- hope we see more of this Team on our TV please

This series is pure peng! The sets...Boom. The screenplay, the plot. All top drawer. This has re-watch value and will have you in stitches fam. Peep this for real, 100% certified.

For those who don't speak London, let me reiterate. This is an excellent series with a fantastic plot, great sets and wardrobe, that will keep you amused. Never one dull moment and I just hope they make more as this series has legs if they chose to run it longer. Enjoy!
