Stuck

This is Dylan Moran! It isn't Black Books; it isn't How Do You Want Me?, nor is it any of his specials or movies... But you'll see all of that in here - you'll see Dylan in it - his essence and his genius!

It's also not the "prescribed" 20-30 minutes of airtime, but aren't we most firmly lodged in an era of reinventing TV? Who decided 20-30 minutes was the golden ticket? Network executives with time slots to fill, I think. I'm thrilled that creators/writers increasingly get to determine what works for their scripts and ideas, and to me the length of the shows seems to work perfectly.

The coupling is unique; I really enjoyed the dynamic with Morgana! The midlife/unemployment aspect was also very engaging, with many places to go. Left me wanting more, for sure! Very much hoping for a second season!

It's a middle class couple living in messy shabby chic home working in advertising and doing meditating...not much else to say about it.

Dylan Moran is his usual dry almost depressive self.

He plays the same weary character he's so good at, making sarcastic comments about happy hip waiters etc

Morgana Robinson tries, she makes you almost smile she's got the effected voice and boho London look off to a tee.

The other characters aren't Worth mentioning because I can't actually remember them.

It's got that motherland feel to it, same dreary London streets. & pretentious cafes but unlike motherland it's just not funny, there's no laugh out loud moments not even a chuckle it all feels a bit dull.

Loved it, it's funny, the characters are interesting but not so outrageous that they aren't relatable. Plus, it contains a good amount of Dylan Moran's usual dry wit that I don't think I've seen on TV since he did Black Books all those years ago.

The only reason I give it a nine and not a ten is the length. The episodes are quite short and there isn't very many of them (only five). I got through it in an hour, another show like Black Books I'd have only gotten though 2 episodes in an hour, so not even half the series. Hopefully we'll get another series to rectify that?

The length is really my only problem, though. Everything else about it is superb, I definitely recommend!

Well written dialogue and impressively well-rounded characters considering the small amount a screen time they all have.

The cast is fantastic and they manage not to outshine each other. They all bring different comedic styles to the show but it completely works; the different styles compliment each other and make the characters more life-like and relatable.

The only downside, as others have stated, is the short running time. I think it doesn't give the story space to really get going. Instead of a solid story your left with short threads that have a lot of potential but don't really go anywhere.... Perhaps the form reflects the title in that regard.

It's a good little show and I definitely laughed out loud at certain points. If you've got an hour free then it's worth a watch. Plus, the set design is gorgeous.

I really wanted this to be good as I love the main actors but it's just lazy. I think you can tell by the length of the episodes, and the series - each episode is 13 minutes long and they couldn't even be bothered to write 6 episodes so you get 5. Total guess, but I reckon this was commissioned as a normal 6 episode series of 22 to 30 minutes each but then a deadline loomed and they had to just push whatever they had out. It feels unfinished.

It's not funny. It's pretty boring and I doubt I'll finish the series - I'm on episode 3, not a laugh in site. Actually kind of hard work watching the rest of this episode...
