Hapless

I didn't know what to expect and was laughing from the off. If you like the comedy of pain, if you've ever been thwarted, if you're a striver... then this will make you howl.

Edgy, provocative, very funny adult comedy steeped in the best traditions of Jewish, British and Finchley humour. Great gags. Great characters. Lovely insights into London Jewish life and foibles. As the director of a Jewish comedy doc ("Circumcise Me") and 30-year veteran of Jewish journalism (founding editor of the Jewish News and the now-defunct New Moon magazine) so much of this rings true. A real treat.

A fresh and exciting comedy, Tim Downie at his comedic best as a hapless investigative journalist, in angst with his sister, Naomi (Lucy Montgomery). Downie, leaps from one calamitous story to another, leaving a trail of funny 'disasters' behind, which he then has to try and put right, which doesn't always go according to plan! Daniel Sinyor is a little gem he plays Paul's (Downie's) young nephew, (Joshie) who seems to be involved somehow in Paul's misadventures

This is a great show, funny and jaw dropping in its non PC-ness at times, the windmills it tilts at deserve to be lanced. Essentially, everyone is selfish, greedy, stupid, kind, loving, big hearted and, well, human.

Great show. Very different to the standard British sitcom even though it is made in the same format it is just done differently. Very enjoyable from start to finish. Hope they make a new series.
