    Better with each episode

    A slow start, but stick with it. The subject matter didn't grip me to begin with but the story develops to becomes less about the situation and more about the characters. Some great one-liners and a super cast too.

    Good Fun

    It's nice for a new comedy to make our TVs that's not American. It has a touch of Monty Python about it. I really enjoyed it. Good comedy actors and good script.

    Outstanding

    I would say that I cannot understand why some reviews are absolutely panning this wonderful funny, and original comedy. It is quite clear that those who have spent time writing these incensed reviews have absolutely no sense of humour, and completely missed the gag. How on earth can it be labelled woke!? The cameo in After Life 3 introduced me to Tim Key, and this fulfilled my expectations. Wonderfully funny show!

    Expected more but still worth watching

    "Hunderby" it's not but it has its moments and the cast is top notch. Certainly worth watching. It's truly astounding how many reviewers here seem to get bent out of shape by the number of black and Asian actors in the cast. What a nasty little biggoted country the UK has become.

    It Was Really Funny, I Loved It!

    The Witchfinder

    It was a great series from start to finish, brilliant script, and fabulous comic timing, there was a real warmth to the characters and wonderful cameo performances from so many well known actors, and you could see everyone was having a great time.

    It seemed complete so it would be challenging to create a second series, however they managed it with Upstart Crow, maybe that was more farce and repetitive but I would love if they could.

    The two main leads Tim & Daisy clicked from the start, I shouldn't make a comparison but she reminds me of Dawn French or maybe it's just the delivery, these two were great and the whole ensemble delivered in spades.

    This was brand new comedy, brand new ideas and a brave project. I'm giving this a firm 8 outta 10 for really making me laugh, I think people will warm to this but like anything new, people are supercritical witch is very unfair lol.
