Sandylands

Watched three episodes of the new comedy Sandylands, mainly drawn in by the big cast and am personally a big fan of Bhaskar. Didn't quite know what to expect and the tone is very 'quirky', but I actually really enjoyed it, it's obviously not intended to take too seriosuly, but since when were light entertainment tv shows meant to be?? I see the usual miserable reviews on here slating a comedy show, if you are a humourless person and enjoy being a curmudgeon then this probably isn't for you, but if you like a laugh then I say give it a go. Let's face it, we could all do with a bit of light relief at the moment! Hope there is more to come!

Genius! Loving this new series, featuring cringy lines, qwerky characters and hilarious consequences. Just put it on series link, then realised it's only 3 parts. Come back soon!

A fantastic ensemble cast, great script, why doesn't this have a much higher rating? I would highly recommend this, and the second series is just as good as the first.

Funny, serious. Loveable writing/acting.. Want to see what is next. Particularly liked Sanjeev Bhaskar as "Les Vegas." Bronwyn James/Simon Wade as police officers and Sophie Thompson as Jeannie Swallows

Watched this for a bit of light relief and escape from the news / doom and gloom and it's silly and lighthearted with lots of jokes, I don't mind that, in fact it's what I came for...

Underneath that though I liked the Emily and dad storyline, maybe I can relate as also had a shoddy dad... this has some good strong women in it, Emily is great and I love Tina, yes she's the comedy sidekick but also a larger than life character. Also genuinely nice to see main characters in a British comedy who are not all white, and their race is not the point of the plot!
