Mandy

I almost turned it off a few minutes into first episode, but then it got CREEPY and reminded me of an I Love Lucy episode. These episodes are only 15 mins long, so it's a quick watch/binge. The 4th episode, Fish, was also hilarious. Mandy reminds me of a Daddy Long Legs as she stomps around town. She is mostly a selfish, lazy child-woman, but she does have a heart after all. Not for everyone, but had some very funny and cringy bits. ;D

Seaon 1 and 2 are great, as you probably know the character is basically Philomena Cunk looking for a job. The first two seasons are surreal and funny with a few moments where we are expected to suspend our disbelief.

Whereas with Season 3 it seems like we are being asked to suspend our disbelief for way too many episodes.

I really get the feeling that Diane is getting bored with the character or is just trying to see how much she can get a way with.

Episodes in Season 3 I thought were decent.

Episode 3 was fun and had some snooker jokes in there for the....snooker fans.

Episode 6 for the most part, goes back to the season 1 formula, and it works.

Basically it just feels like for a lot of these episodes someone said "what if we did this..." and no one said "well that makes no sense and is too stupid, there's no parody in that. What are you trying to do? Get the show cancelled? Oh that is what you want?....ok...you CAN walk out on the wing of the flying plane... twas nice while it lasted"

Love, love this - very funny and well acted with a load of well known faces. Hope there's going to be some more of these as I'm not ready to say goodbye to Mandy yet!

If you like your comedy broad, short and simple then this may be the answer. Mandy runs through her confused life creating surreal chaos in short 22 minute episodes. Loved the poisonous spiders sneaking through on the banana shipments. Worth a watch to see if it your cup of tea

She is brilliant as a comedy actress, but I just can't get on with Mandy. Too much face pulling gets a bit annoying. 🙄 Her other roles are fantastic, like After Life and Cunkt she's amazing.
