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!
'Miranda' manages to succeed with an 'in-your-face' approach where the main lead constantly address her audience and where most of the humor is seen coming miles ahead. This normally would boil down to an utterly tepid experience , but with Miranda Hart the effect is hugely more than the sum of its parts. I'm sure the division is similar to watching the late Tommy Cooper. You will either notice the brilliance or find it utterly boring. I 've no idea why the format of continuously speaking to the audience works within this series. It simply does. All cast members are above average, with Patricia Hodge stealing every scene she is in. A huge factor may be the neck-breaking speed. I like that. Suspect it's simply too much for part of the public..
I love British shows of all kinds, but this has got to be one of the best Britcoms ever! Miranda handles everything with humor and makes lemonade with all the lemons she is dealt. All the day to day troubles we all have are dealt with such humor, that you realize how unimportant they are. The casting is wonderful.
I have enjoyed everything I have every seen Miranda Hart in. Patricia Hodge is funny and irreverent as Miranda's mother, who tries to marry her off at every turn. The friendship between Miranda, Stevie (Sarah Hadland) and Tilly (Sally Phillips) is "bear with...bear with" hysterical. Tom Ellis performance as Gary makes all us tall, plus- sized women hopeful. He is charming, funny and (of course) handsome as ever!

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.
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.
