Porters

Oh why Rutger, why? This series lacks the character to even be described as bad. Back when laugh tracks were a thing you could get away with this, but now without the canned variety to coerce the real thing?

I like these English silly shows, but this is one I don't like.

It's not funny, just chaotic and strange.

Why did Rutger (Dutch like me) play a German person? Strange, perhaps because he looks like an Ariër?

Well this is not my cup of tea or nicht meine Tasse Kaffee!

I thought hospital based comedy was finished. Doing it from the point of view of porters instead of doctors and nurse is refreshing. Only disappointment is there were only three episodes. I really hope there will be more to come.

After all the vacuous attempts at new comedy "lets make it weird to please the millennials" this sitcom is refreshingly normal and funny. No American style one-liners just well written dialogue with no pausing or smirking whilst listening to audience fake laughter. From the opening clever credits through every well directed scene the actors are given room to present their craft. Will it be a Blackadder or a Fawlty Towers, probably not, but my guess on a par with Black Books. Hauer is fairly wooden in everything he does and Porters is no exception but maybe the old "stager" will grow into his role much like the Colonel in MASH did after 50 episodes. Well worth watching and a good laugh.

I used to be an Hospital Porter, RNH HASLAR Military - NHS mixed, Gosport, Hants, England. We had a lot of laughs with the Job and Armed Forces, you need a sense of Humour in an Hospital. Bring Porters back, it was a good laugh, R. I. P. Rutger...
