It is like sitting in a pub, quietly, surreptitiously listening to two old friends reminiscing and talking nonsense.
The "script", music and photography are truly magnificent.
Long may it continue.
9.1 rating on IMDb? Really?
This show's pilot was very, very good.
The acting throughout has been good. The production has been excellent.
Unfortunately the story lost it's way after about episode 4. That is the writers and directors fault. It has quickly become as tedious as the second series of True Detective (Don't start me on that - I could follow the plot(just). But it was very, very dull in comparison to the excellent first series.)
The 9.1 rating must be taking into account the people who voted(on the whole series) after watching one or two episodes. Its OK but we are rating this show alongside the Wire, Sopranos, House of Cards, Dexter, Justified and Boardwalk Empire. And they're just the American dramas!
This review has admittedly turned into a moan about the IMDb ratings and not the actual show. Sorry about that but I do, in some part, plan my TV and movie viewing around the reviews on this site. That's the whole point isn't it? People shouldn't be voting on TV SERIES/SEASONS until they are a good way into the finished product
The show is OK to good. Definitely worth a look.
But 9.1 ????

The best comedy on British TV for years. Peter Kay at his best - likable, subtle and very, very funny. You need to watch the episodes a few times to catch all the background humour from the radio station and off shot signs etc "Husband Missing. Last seen entering....." "Brillington College ......"
A comedy that slowly turned into a love story that will surely be recommissioned sooner rather than later.
Mr Kay was predictably good and Sian Gibson was more than a match.
For a change the Beeb didn't let a new comedy stew for a series or two on BBC 3 or 4.
Superb. Can't wait for more.
