    Another fine Brit comedy

    Enjoyed this British comedy a great deal and have come to appreciate in particular the comedic talents of Katherine Parkinson, who has appeared in several imports I've liked. I don't understand why Whites only lasted six episodes. The snappy, dry wit is classic, the ability to make small things funny uncanny. Who would think to make a joke out of an eggless omelet? Since I do my viewing on Hulu, I'm able to add them again to my queue and go through them more than once. Whites is good enough to watch more than once -- and unfortunately there aren't that many domestic sitcoms I can say that about. Also unfortunate -- there are only the six episodes.

    Hilarious show. Must watch!

    The famous Kiki clip on Youtube made me watch this show, and I'm glad i did. This show is hilarious & entertaining from start to finish. The dialogues are very well written & made me genuinely laugh our loud numerous times throughout. Also the story is simple & straightforward, so it's easy to get into. At no point i felt bored or disinterested. All the characters have their own personalities & bring their own flair to the show. Ronald is a selfish but hilarious knob, Bib is a funny-unfunny guy, Kiki is dumb in the cutest way possible, and all the rest of the characters have their own attractive qualities. This show is a must watch IMO. I just hate the fact that they never made more seasons of it. Oh well, something is better than nothing!

    Brilliant Comedy

    Whites is laugh out loud (excuse the cliché) and intelligent comedy. I keep finding that European comedies are replacing all my previous favorites. Intelligent mixed with silly and sometimes the down right absurd. Whites is no exception with Kiki providing the absurd. I am disappointed that this was so short lived and would beg BBC and the producers to bring it back. There is a depth to the characters and an engaging storyline that is now incomplete and deserving of much more. I would prefer it stay strictly British though. Few comedies of this caliber rarely translates well into an American production (The Office excluded). Please bring Whites back or produce more of the same for us Americans who are intelligent and love humor both.

    Brilliant Show That Was Cancelled Too Soon...

    Stellar writing, a perfect cast, and excellent all-round production that should have lasted way beyond it's single season.

    I just discovered this gem via a clip off of Reddit (eggless omelette) and watched all six episodes in a row.

    It's full of clever situations, characters that are layered and sympathetic along with laugh-out-loud scenes that were perfectly executed. I can't believe this show didn't get the chance it deserved. Would figure that the BBC dishonorably cut it just because of budget restraints.

    Do yourself a favor and watch this intelligently-written, superbly acted treasure.

    Cheers!

    Unjust cancellation

    It's so bittersweet when you find a show this good but know its been cancelled so all you are going to get is one season. If only tv stations/corporations valued content more than profit shows like this would get renewed but from what I read the biggest reason this was cancelled was an effort to try and cut costs. These types of comedies are so well done since its nothing like a typical sitcom and takes a somewhat intelligent and sharp mind to be able to catch all the subtle jokes. I think this kind of comedy all started with BBC The Office so hope to see more like it in the future.
