Romantic Getaway

Now from looking at trailers this seemed like it would be funny, unfortunately in my opinion it was well under par, not really funny and pretty poor acting from timeshare and Katherine, think they needed a half decent director who maybe could of helped improve they're acting, a lot of acting coaching is required to improve the series, the last episode doesn't complete the series so looks like we're in for a disappointment of a second series, was very disappointed and wouldn't recommend for people to especially make the effort to watch it, I would suggest find something funnier with better reviews to watch.

This is a proper old-fashioned laugh out loud comedy caper.

The plot is a simple one: a guy called Deacon decides to steal some money from his horrible boss to pay for IVF. Deacon has never even stolen a paper clip before so clearly this plan hasn't been well thought out!

Each solution Deacon comes up with to resolve the problems his previous ideas have caused obviously make things ten times worse - each consequence, ten times funnier.

I've always found Katharine Ryan funny but I can't say I've ever rated Romesh Ranganathan before but as a result of watching this, which he co-wrote, I reckon he is clearly a comedy genius. Also, Johnny Vegas would not usually be on my list of people I'd go out of my way to see on my tv but with such a well written role like this he's brilliant. Absurdly over the top, loud, foul-mouthed and vulgar but totally hilarious.

It's presented in six half hour episodes but since each one ends on a cliffhanger, I dare you not to be able to watch them all in one go.

Gutted at how much I disliked this show because I really like Romesh, especially the Ranganation & his stand up shows but this was a really awful show! Not sure why they think throwing some comedians into one pot makes a great show because it really didn't.

The acting was awful & wooden. I don't think I smiled once never mind laughed and I'm normally a snort laugher!

I would say "it's not believable" but I know it's not meant to be - it's meant to be lighthearted but it just came across as cringy.

The worst part is my husband loved it so I had to sit through them all. If there's a season 2 I'm just gonna divorce him. 😂

Just finished watching this tonight and overall it was entirely enjoyable. I didn't weep with laughter but there were plenty of chuckles to keep me entertained and it was refreshing to watch a show with half an hour episodes for a change.

The premise was interesting, the execution ridiculous, which is what you expect in a comedy, and the ending sufficiently satisfying. The "uncle" Ketan character was an absolute show stealer.

I particularly enjoyed the storyline of the tax office arriving to audit them...probably even less likely than how easily Romesh's character stole and fenced a Ferrari!!

7/10.

Katherine Ryan's acting is amateur and unconvincing.

I have always, enjoyed her comedy, in the past and hilarious comments, on shows.

Seemed to be the smart one but made so many wrong, stupid choices.

She was expressionless. It didn't matter, whether she was happy, sad, or frightened. Flat effect.

Too much Botox, for an actress.

Johnny Vegas, Romesh, and the main bad guy were believable. Great acting, although,Romesh switched from a scared rabbit to an angry lion, constantly.

Writer did a terrible job, with followthrough and logic.

Much of the storyline did not make sense. It looked like parts of the story was cut out.

Liked the ending. Convincing.
