The Wrong Mans

Watched the first 3 episodes and left me wanting more.

Is a series about 2 guys put in an outrageous situation after finding a phone. Full of funny moments and good action scenes. The comedy arrives from the situation they are put in and how naively and dumbfounded they manage these. The pace is extremely well done, no filler, just great script that rivals the best of action movies and also the funniest of comedy movies.

The production is great, specially for a British show. Acting is fair, but characters are charismatic enough to get you caring.

Worth watching. Is a top quality beginning of a show.

I give 8/10.

An epitome of splendid British comedy! A fast-paced tastefully funny show with great dialogues and laced with some appropriately portioned action scenes. The plot is simple, two male employees of an obscure town council get involved in a criminal underworld, double agent-turned culprit, law enforcement chase only to find themselves deeper in the mess. The script is smart, carefully and very well written. When you'd think you know what comes next you are in for a surprise, as the story has its twists and turns. The acting is superb, the actors in the leading roles play characters that are likable and who are quite the opposite of today's boring all muscular and super smart super heroes. We are shown two ordinary guys with ordinary thinking and who eventually do manage to make a great job of living through all sorts of dangerous situations, and even the score with the bad guys. The wrong mans is thoroughly entertaining, and is one of the very best of its kind in recent years. Strongly recommended!

Most television or movie comedies are not funny. Fact. You may disagree but how many comedies actually give you the physical reaction of laughter?

Don't misunderstand me, a comedy can be good without actually provoking a laugh. 'Friends', for example was quite good, but laugh out loud funny? Not very often. Like I said, most simply arnt funny, they should be called nicities, or quitegoodities.

Any televisual or movie media should aim for the high watermark of provoking a physical reaction. Horror should make you wince, cower, look away, think. Action should raise your heart rate and get you on your feet. Drama should make you cry or talking. And comedy. Comedy should make you laugh out loud.

The Wrong Mans is the first new comedy for ages that has made me do this. Its genuinely funny. It has characters who I like and care about in absurd situations. It has 2 stand out central performances and has obviously been written by 2 people who know what they are doing and have been given free range to go and do it.

I think it's brilliant. Not 'Father Ted' brilliant, but still brilliant.

Refreshingly funny and light hearted without the excessive use of crass humour for a cheap laugh. Good comedy duo in Corden and Bayton. Well worth the watch, even if the premise is silly.

The Wrong Mans has a distinctly British sense of humor amid all of its action, with few laugh- out-loud jokes.

It's funny when Phil doesn't realize how to properly play a movie quote guessing game or when the office drones don't have the foresight to realize taking a hostage means having to dispose of his excrement in a plastic bag.

This show is excellent, what a good surprise: is like a packed action movie, full of action and comedy. There is no time for boredom and the actors are great performers. I ain't going to talk more about it: just WATCH IT.
