Action Team

OMG. Whoever conceived this piece of televisual offal should have been sacked. ITV have really scraped the bottom of the barrel again! If this is an attempt to breathe life into the spoof spy genre, then ITV has well and truly failed.

Why is it so difficult to produce quality comedy nowadays? The BBC keeps producing shows that tank and remakes of classic sitcoms that end up getting ripped to shreds! ITV is no better. Honestly. Action Team makes the Naked Gun look like Spooks!

No, a guy who can't zip up his pants and doesn't know when he's hanging out is not funny. No, I didn't make it past the first few minutes. I enjoy comedy and action, but this was awful.

I've watched both episodes and can state that this won't get a second series. I love all types of comedy whether In The Thick Of It type of clever political satire or Airplane style slapstick spoof but this falls short in all aspects. The jokes aren't strong or funny enough to stand up on their own nor is the writing clever enough to make up for it. Will I continue to watch it? Well possibly not as it's a pretty unfunny 30 minutes. The potential for comedy gold in spoofing spy material has been exhausted previously over the years so you'd have to be on top of your writing game to make something worth watching. Alas, whoever wrote the scripts must have had a very lazy Sunday afternoon and knocked out a complete series of poor to non existent jokes and slapstick skits tenuously cobbled together. This is definitely a C-, please try harder.

Utter dross. I was hoping for something along the lines of Murder in Successville but this is low budget dick joke rubbish..

Just awful. I think they were going for parody, but this show isn't smart enough to make fun of anything. Not funny, badly written, and really awful acting. The ensemble cast sets it up to be a great show, but it's a BIG miss on all points.
