The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin

I could say a lot about this, but you need to watch it yourself.

It is fun, witty and just what you need, when you need to laugh and have fun. Dick and Jack Sparrow could have been brothers and I think that you could put the two together, in a new movie....would that be interesting?

The negative reviews are from people that have no basic sense of humor. I don't know how you could not find this series amusing.

The casting and acting is great and the writers do a good job as well.

Just sit back and enjoy it, I guarantee that you will walk away with a smile on your face and anticipating the next episode.

Quirky, light hearted fun. An excellent show for the whole family. If you don't "get it", you're not trying hard enough. Rather than fall into the trap of the same old comedic tropes, I found the humour quite irreverent, you never know what Noel will come up with next or in what direction each character is going to go. Great supporting cast and it's nice to see a show which clearly doesn't take itself too seriously whilst still providing the touchstones of today's society as a guide to the storyline. The scenery and costumes are lavish, the dialogue witty and not a moment is wasted in this romp. The jokes on you if you don't see the funny side.

Great fun comedy, completely irreverent, yet very watchable with the family! We were trying to fill a void left from the various Traitors options (another family favourite!) & found this.

Noel Fielding plays the part excellently with a very talented and experienced supporting cast. The first episode was a great introduction and kept my 12 year old very engaged (he's typically glued to YouTube shorts!!!!!!)

Looking forward to the next few episodes, I would compare it more to a cross of Blackadder and horrible histories than IT Crowd. The humour is more for a young teen audience (& their parents!)

Im not going to go into people thinking this was a remake of the old movie or a documentary any one with half a sense knows immediately its comedy reimagining . I mean a kid carries a sign that says witches get stitches You have to listen to the cadence of the speech or you miss a lot of jokes but their are plenty of slapstick and broad humor. Now some people especially in America are not going to get the humor It reminds me of The Windsors and even has Ellie White who played Princess Beatrice in it. I also think a lot of americans dont get comedy that doesnt have a laugh track. I really liked this and if you have ever liked any British comedy show you will like this.

Other reviewers here are completely misinterpreting this show and its MO - it is not meant to be a reboot of any previous Dick Turpin series with any serious plot. It is meant to be silly and ridiculous - that should be obvious from the title, the trailers and the first minutes of watching it! If you like The Mighty Boosh, Star Stories, Big Train, Horrible Histories, and similar shows of 80s style humour, then you'll like this.

Sometimes you just need a series to go to with short episodes, that entertains, doesn't demand much thought and gives you some laughs to just watch with a beer on a Friday Saturday night and this is it.
