According to Bex

This scary thing posing as a comedy is cringe worthy! The parts were she speaks into camera are sad, her acting is wooden and i don't see whats funny about a woman being insecure about her looks and weight. This story line "i'm at a certain age, think i'm fat and i go out with losers so i can feel good about myself, then collapse hopelessly when it goes wrong after 2 weeks seems to be the in thing. It was not that funny when Bridgit Jones did it and being rehashed endlessly doesn't make it any more easy to bear. I beg you all don't watch so there's no chance of it raising again and coming back to haunt us. Instead they should brings back classic's such as the Two Ronnies etc... comedy's that are not all smart arse, PC crud that we are sadly churning out today.

I was surprised at the terrible reviews this show has gotten. It's definitely not on par with the best of British comedies, but there is still a life and charm in this little gem.

Perhaps because there were so few episodes, the show never did have the opportunity to find its legs. However, the performances were wonderful, with Raquel Cassidy and Zita Sitar rising to the top and stealing every scene they were in. The show would have benefited from beefing up the office scenes, which is where it was truly funny, and leaving behind the useless ex-boyfriend drama. It certainly missed an opportunity.to be a smart commentary about office dynamics, especially in the expectations women (both at an executive and non-executive level) must endure compared to their male counterparts. .Still, the show had some hysterically funny moments and deserves much better than the reviewers here would suggest.

I caught this show by accident, after I forgot to switch channels after the brilliantly funny 'My Hero' and I'm glad I didn't switch over.

'According to Bex' is brilliant, it's funnier than I thought it would be and it's quite clever when it wants to be. All the cast are brilliant and they each have their funny moments, and the script is generally spot on!! Clive Russell is great, it caught me by surprise seeing him appear on the show, but he's as good as always. I love Raquel Cassidy as Chris and her scenes with Zita Sattar as Jan are brilliant!! I'd recommend anyone to watch this show, well anyone with a sense of humour and a taste for light hearted comedy. Apart from 'Desperate Housewives' this is probably the only show I sit down for to watch in a week!

8/10!

This is one of the worst comedy shows I've ever seen. What a terrible waste of an immense talent like Jessica Stevenson, it's truly tragic. The punchlines are visible from several miles away, the acting is poor and the plots are flimsy. It's essentially children's' television. Greg Wise gives a pathetic performance, while Raquel Cassidy is wasted (she was fantastic in 'Teachers'). It's utterly devoid of any charm or intricacy, it just seems like the authors had no real desire to write this and it shows.

The characters themselves are so fundamentally unlikeable that I found myself believing that they would all somehow be killed in the final episode (wishful thinking, sadly).

Oliver Chris gives a reasonable performance (being typecast as the cheeky-but-handsome one), though he isn't exactly stretching himself.

Total trash, avoid at all costs.
