I worked as a courier van driver for a couple of years and the characters,ridiculous situations portrayed in Swift and Shift although exaggerated aren't that far of the mark . I can relate totally to this bunch of misfits and it never fails in giving me sore sides from laughing so much. I LOVE this shoe.
I laughed so hard during this series. This show has everything not allowed in the USA. Farting, insensitivity to women, handicapped, First Nation people, all ethnics, Muslims, gays, the overweight, little people, bosses, workers, police, municipal employees and customers... everyone equally! And everyone is incompetent. Almost hurtful to watch. All the damage! But the boss is avuncular and an alpha you can just follow along watching him slip and slide through every disastrous working day. All the characters own their idiosyncrasies and never disappoint and delight. Just plain unadulterated fun. Are You Being Served / Trailer Park Boys / 10 Items Or Less / IT Crowd combo.
Who says Australian shows are boring? I do, well... did. But then I watched this show and it's restored my faith in Australian television, I was never really a fan of Always Greener or Sea Change to be honest. But enough about that. Although Swift & Shift was a but short, only about 6 episodes, it is definitely worth it. It's full of... some would say "questionable" humour, but then again, what isn't these days? Even the classic show the Simpsons has strayed into some "questionable" jokes in past years. Every episode is chock'o'block full of gay jokes, fat jokes, midget jokes and the likes. But unlike other shows, this one quite surprisingly pulls it all off seamlessly and very very funnily!
In short this is a really terrible show, and that's what makes it fantastic!
8/10

This is a very boring and unfunny show with underdeveloped characters and really awful writing. I really hated it.
Swift and Shift is one of those comedies you watch over and over again, and every time I watch it I laugh myself silly...The only downside is there wasn't a Season 3...
Brilliant comedy and the show will be missed....
