A must see and will cheer you up even if you're stringing up a rope. Fantastic casting and full of little subtleties in the background.
Greg Davies at his very best.

I thought this was a great show, especially the episodes involving Dominic (Ramon Tikaram), so much so that I wish there were a Dominic spin-off of some sort. So sad that Rik Mayall passed away, often wonder what the show would be like had they been able to go in the direction of playing Rik's character up more as originally planned. Aunt Nesta (Stephanie Cole) was a great addition however.
_Man Down_ is absurdist humor at its finest. Improbable characters living out ordinary lives in very unordinary fashion. Watching the show makes one's brain scream things like: "Why doesn't Brian find a new group of friends?" "How could Emma possibly have...., one couldn't imaginably get that drunk/desperate/whatever?" "Why hasn't Jo died from accidentally drinking bleach or some other life hazard?" And yet in the world of _Man Down_, all these improbabilities are in alignment to create a lively comedy that will keep you on your toes and in stitches. There's even a heavy dose of dysfunctional tenderness to comfort through all the disrespect and inappropriate behavior. Bird attacks were never funnier.
I discovered Greg Davies on this show. I'll make this short. 'Man Down' is one of the funniest shows ever made. Funnier than any American comedy by far (of the last two decades) and I'm so glad I found it on Netflix because comedy has been so bad for so long here (with the exception of Curb and Youtube). British comedy lives and it's funnier and more outrageous than ever!
Kept me laughing the whole time. Greg Davies and the cast are amazing. This show may not be for everyone but if you need a good laugh it's got you covered.

- TriviaThe school scenes are filmed at the school where Greg Davies actually used to work as a teacher for six years in his early 20s; even the same classroom he used is featured. Despite claiming to hate the job, he was, at one point, nominated for "Teacher of the Year" there (the reason given: "He's a well good laugh and he don't make us do no work.")
