Here We Go

I have only just discovered this show. Binge watched the latest series because I found it so funny. Now I am working my way through the earlier series. The stand out star of the show is undoubtedly Alison Steadman. Although having said that every character is well written. Jane Horrocks put in a very amusing guest appearance as a cheat at UNO. I am surprised to see so many negative reviews I think it is a very clever comedy.

I havent seen the Christmas pilot that people seem to be making reference to, just the first episode going to the theme park.

It feels a bit wooden sometimes, but that's just a style thing. The Office and Peep Show felt like that at the beginning also.

It really borrows heavily from that style of comedy, some of it feels a bit forced, but it is really funny. I laughed out loud at a few points.

The BBC, being the BBC of course cant help the obligatory tick boxing. But. It was a good show.

It is a time capsule of our present life. I hope for more episodes .

One of the best comedies produced by the BBC in a long time, Here We Go is quick-witted in Its story of a relatable family. Not all of the characters are hits, but together they create a great chemistry which is always enjoyable thanks to some great casting.

Parkinson and Howick deliver the best of the comedy, Howick perfectly delivering the beta-male character who's behaviour is a continuous laugh. The plots are simple but delivered in an unconventional fashion and overall the series provides a fresh feature of light entertaining.

I love this serie, it's so funny and I really like the fact of the use of a camera which is handled by one of the family members (the son). Great lines and really nice acting!

We all wish we could have family members like them and especially the mother (in law) played by Alison Steadman is really good. But also the mum and dad of the family are very likeable and funny.

So forget the negative comments as this is a serie to watch with a nice hot brew and forget the world around you. Just have a laugh and enjoy this uncomplicated and sometime very complicated funny family. You might even recognise your own family in certain situations!
