After a pretty good opening episode, there is definitely more to come from Warren. We've been crying out for a great new sitcom, and while I don't see this being great, I think it has the makings of a good show. Martin Clunes is a truly talented and versatile actor, he definitely added something to the show, elevating something decent to something good.

Well supported, Lisa Millett is a fine comedy actress, we'll wait to see how the neighbours turn out.

It should get decent viewing figures as it's paired up with the new Alan Partridge comedy, and numbers is the name of the game.

For a new sitcom, it wasn't bad at all. 7/10

I enjoy this and maybe relate to it as Warren is a grumpy git. It's not on the same par as white gold but still very good. Too much hate

I cried with laughter watching the first episode so funny but I've teenage lads so get it Just watched the second episode loved it Maybe my kind of humour love Martin Clunes It's just stupid fun love it

This was a really great sitcom, great comedy acting, a tight script, great characters and genuinely funny.

Martin Clunes always delivers as the likeable rogue.

I can't wait for the next series.

Warren Episode 1 was not very amusing at all. I watched it on catch up around 9.30pm and it was so bad I fell asleep and missed the last 10 minutes. I wasn't sure I was going to bother again. But I did. And although there are bits that are absurd Episode 2 was much improved and I laughed and laughed my way through this one! I am hoping it continues this way as I'll be watching again.

As I see from some reviews this is not do r everyone however this is a true British sitcom head and shoulders above the American rubbish that is awash on our screens at the moment. BRILLIANT bring on series 2

One dimensional and lazily scripted, this is the first Clunes vehicle that fails to capture the natural humour of the actor. Perhaps the lack of substantial supporting cast leaves Clunes without the necessary foil for his curmudgeonly character or perhaps it's just the unimaginative writing with jokes that fall flat. Clunes always makes you care about the characters but in this one, I not only didn't give a toss about him, I got bored.

From the first show, I just had so much fun laughing at Warren and his situation with his family. The quips, the swearing, the physical comedy all make for a good 30 minutes of laugh out loud moments. I love comedy of the absurd and really don't have to like the protagonist, nor find much redeeming in him..Though there are little things here and there that do come out..He loves his wife, he likes chickens and even showed a bit of compassion toward Danny with his girlfriend issues, well after he roared hysterically when Danny told him he was in love. This is not a deep intellectual comedy, but Clunes is masterful with his comic timing and great acting. I just need good show to laugh at, or laugh with and Warren does the trick..Look forward to it every week. I sure hope it is back for a season 2 as they has so many adventures yet to come

I can't begin to explain how miserable this driving instructor is. He is cheap, self centered, rude, pedantic and I don't know what. I can understand why someone would find this funny, but I think it's more embarrassing than anything else. I have no idea what childhood trauma or setbacks in life made him this way. I think he simply is a caricature and I'm happy he is not my neighbour or my driving instructor. If this first episode is indicative of the rest of the show, then we are in for loads of pedantic, cheap, ridiculous, rude, idiotic, seif centered and miserable situations. The writers should get credit for coming up with such a ridiculous character.

I like Martin Clunes usually, just his face is enough to get a laugh but in this show he plays such an unlikeable character I just wanted to punch it. Not going to bother watching any more.

What a pleasant surprise, Warren, a middle aged man who speaks his mind, a breath of fresh air amongst this boring world of 2019. Superb cast, jokes and plots.

I love Martin Clunes and I really had high expectations for this. The premise was very good and I sort of expected a bit of a one foot in the grave for a younger generation. Regrettably though, it's the typical BBC rubbish, just with a great actor who cannot salvage anything from this car crash of a comedy.

After seeing mixed reviews on this sit com I wasn't sure whether to give it a shot! But 3 episodes in and I rather enjoyed it. Personally, I find it very funny and I feel Clunes does a great job at making his character, "Warren" intruiging to watch. Not brilliant, but certainly not bad!

I expected this to be worth watching with some degree of subtlety and wit. How wrong could I be ? The wife character is basically too stupid to be realistic and the husband driving instructor behaves in a ridiculous manner. The acting is OK considering quite how bad the script actually is. The characters are unbelievable two dimensional shallow fools. Such a waste for Martin Clunes.

Like a lot of reviewers I wasn't totally won over by the first episode but then most comedies take time to bed in.

Warren has few redeeming features but I don't get this belief that a comedy character needs to have warmth for us to enjoy it. The comedy for me comes from enjoying just how obnoxious he is and how wonderfully well Martin Clunes, who is surely one of the best and most likeable actors of his generation, brings this to the screen.

It's not groundbreaking and reworks some well-trodden sitcom themes but it has provided us with some real belly laughs. What's wrong with some old-fashioned sitcom - not everything can be the next Office or Fleabag.

I hope the BBC stick with it and commission another series. When you look at how utter rubbish like Citizen Khan gets renewed then this deserves a chance to grow.

This is utterly abysmal. Even the worst comedies I've seen have at least one or two mild chuckles buried in them but this is humour free. The attempts at getting a laugh are straight out of The primary school playground. I cannot understand why a great comedy actor like Clunes thought for one moment this would be a success. He can't be this hard up. Don't bother. Avoid at all costs.

Looked forward to watching this, and the new Alan Partridge show. Decided to read reviews first, then watch both.

Warren was pretty unanimously slammed online. But I thought it was good. Perhaps its my odd sense of humour - Rik Mayall was one of my all-time favs, and I like Martin Clunes too.

I don't agree with the previous reviewer's line 'he plays such an unlikeable character' - Warren is just Doc Martin moved up north.

First episodes of all the great sitcoms were weaker than the later ones, perhaps Fawlty Towers being a rare exception (because there were so few episodes after the first one). I'm hoping this'll be another of those greats.

Me and my husband absolutely love this show. Martin Clunes plays miserable so well and I think that as the series moves on it's become funnier. Every episode you can see that Warren is trying his best. It's a sitcom we used to love with a sharp modern voice. More please!

Clunes' Doc Martin is a curmudgeon, but he at least has some redeeming features and a possible underlying autistic spectrum disorder to excuse some of his behaviour. Warren has no such excuses, the character is an extremely unlikeable person that makes you cringe to the point of revulsion.

Within minutes I disliked the character and by the end I decided I couldn't bear to suffer a second episode, it was that bad. The cast do a decent job with their parts and Clunes' plays the role well... he must, as I usually like him and wanted him to be the victim of a terrible car crash in this, which in my opinion is the metaphor I would use for the show.

I imagine the scriptwriters have imagined a David Brent like character, and if you were a fan of The Office, then Warren's cringeworthy bad behaviour and the consequences that result from this may suit your sense of humour. If you didn't like The Office, I think you'll hate this. I did!

Really enjoyable and Martin clunes very funny. Some of the lines as good as only fools. Very good!

Not a good idea to put this next to Alan Partridge on the schedule. This new comedy is just awful. What was Clunes thinking. Warren is just a nasty, bad tempered, foul mouthed git. I see those every day, I don't find them funny either. Stop this rot.

I don't often take the time to review things online..... However with Warren I felt the need to. This is by far the best comedy on TV at the moment. Head and shoulders above the rest. It's great to see Martin Clunes back doing what he does best. The BBC have made a resurgence in the comedy world with this little gem. I really hope and pray that we see a second series as I can't wait to see Warren develop as a character I can't help but feel he has a warm side deep down. The mise en scene of Preston is a delight as well! Give the licence fee payers what they want, give them a second series!!!

Lots of laugh out loud moments. Love it. Martin Clunes hilarious

Did you know the writers of this show hide 1 joke in every episode.... only problem is trying to find it.

A horrendous show, and totally unwatchable.
