I kept seeing clips from BBC abot this tv series and i finally got around to watching and wished i had seen it sooner. It is slapstick physical comedy that at times, had redundancy but by far some of the best jokes and moments you can say "that is me, or that is my family". And one of the joyous series finales i have watched, heartwarming and tears along with laughs. You cannot get better than Miranda and her first person conversations with the audience, her "words of the day" and her ability to never take herself seriously until she needs to, which i absolutely admire and respect. Wonderfully funny show, was so glad i could watch it all without having to wait, better late than never, have a go at it!
I came to this show after watching the awful American show (Call Me Kat) based on it. I read about Miranda and decided to take a look. Wow! Miranda has a great ensemble cast that keeps getting better with each episode. As a bonus it features Tom Ellis (Luficer). I had not watched Lucifer, but will now. The chemistry between the cast is warming and wonderful. And...the show has a very nice conclusion. Take a chance on this Brit series.
I found this show because of Tom Ellis but I loved it because of Miranda Hart. Every episode had me laughing out loud! The little looks she gives the audience are hysterical. I binged it in a couple of days and so glad I didn't have to wait the years it took when it first aired. Her best friend and mom, especially the mom, were perfect foils for Miranda. This show was truly a delight to watch, I haven't laughed this hard at a tv show in a very long time.
The trailers terribly undersold this series & I almost missed a real gem. Fortunately "Points of View" reported receiving no negative feedback & showed a very funny end credits sequence. When I watched on Catch Up, I just fell in love with Miranda & her world of insanity. I was unfamiliar with Miranda Hart's stand up, but that didn't matter. Far from being a big ego trip, this is a heartwarming comedy that effectively breaks the 4th wall. Miranda shares her insecurities with the audience and pulls us right in with her speeches & glances to the camera. Patricia Hodge as Miranda's disappointed mother is a scene stealer. Miranda's friends are delightfully insane & Gary is a love. While I'm not usually a fan of slapstick, the falling over does work here. I'm delighted that Series 2 has been commissioned. I wouldn't miss it! 10/10
Thank you Miranda Hart! You are SO talented. I haven't laughed like that since Monty Python... I mean the original stuff... and "Big Trouble" . comes in close. LOVE it! Love the talking to the audience, love the physical comedy, love the storyline... Just binge watched all 3 series that are on Netflix... sad I can't watch series 4 and oh dear... it's over now?
I bet the wonderful actors in this had such fun making it.. it looks as though they did! Patricia Hodge, Tom Ellis, Tom Conti there for a while just having fun.... what a joy!
It's so truly wonderful to see a series that doesn't rely on the same old same old same old recycled storylines and terrific to see it acted by such professionals.
Devastated it's over. Can't you make some more ?
By the way I have only ever rated 2 other movies/shows with a 10. Praise indeed.

- TriviaThe series is recorded in front of a live audience.
- GoofsThe details of the ownership/management of the restaurant seem to change from episode to episode. In series one, when Penny plans a party at the restaurant, Gary is pleased, saying he "needs the business" - suggesting he is the owner. However, by series two, when Gary returns from a stint in Hong Kong, it is revealed his contract at the restaurant is still open, suggesting he simply works there. Later in the series, Clive sacks Gary's wife, suggesting he is the one with authority - yet he had previously been unaware of the details of Gary's contract. In series three, Gary buys the restaurant, but it is not clear from whom.
