Mr. Bigstuff

I genuinely enjoyed this series, a bit slow to start with then it's just gets better. It's has some great comedy moments and some really good feel factor moments as well. It was nice that I could finally watch something that my teenagers boys enjoyed too and we could watch as a family. Genius hiring Adrian Scarborough. There is really good chemistry between the cast I didn't want it to end. Love Ryan Sampson it was nice to see him play something a bit normal. It would be nice if the episodes where a bit longer. Looking forward to the next series which has been set up really well. Hope we don't have to wait too long for it!!

I'm only halfway through this series so far and am really enjoying this. I cannot understand the bad reviews at all! I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before starting it as it may have put me off watching.

It has a great cast, it's easy to watch, and quite funny! Those reviews that are saying Danny Dyer is playing Danny Dyer clearly haven't got past the first episode. He may have used his own accent, but his character is entirely different!

Can't wait to finish this and I hope it gets renewed for a second season.

Seems to me that this show is like marmite, you're either going to love it or hate it. But give it a try and don't quit on the first episode!!!

I love both Ryan Sampson and Danny Dyer so thought this would be good. The first episode was certainly different but the more you watch, the more you are drawn in. It's definitely not for everyone but if like me you enjoy a giggle, are not easily offended and have no issue with swearing (and the c-word) then seriously give this a go. Not only humorous, it does get a bit deep at times. The actors play the parts well and Sampson and Dyer are an unlikely combination, but it works really well... a modern Del Boy and Rodney 😀 Although it is a six parter, be prepared that you may want to binge it... I did!

'Mr Bigstuff follows two estranged brothers; Glen (Sampson), a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live a suburban ideal and Lee (Dyer), an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a tin full of their dad's ashes.'

I really didn't know what to expect when I first put on Mr Big stuff but I was genuinely happily surprised. It's a show that doesn't take itself too seriously, well doesn't take itself seriously at all - but it works. There are numerous moments with perfect comedic timing and the casting is great too. Danny Dyer is fantastic alongside Ryan Sampson whilst Adrian Scarborough and Faitha El-Ghorri were also standout in there roles. It also felt like they were having genuine fun with it also.

Mr Bigstuff is not trying to be groundbreaking, but is a feel-good series that is genuinely worth a watch, has the sort of easy to watch / easy going vibe to watch after a long day and unwind.

I'd give it a 7/10.

As usual someone watches one episode, you know that episode where the most important bits are setting the characters and plot up, and decide they don't like it. I fear for their attention span in watching anything over 30mins long. I also wonder why they are compelled to write a brat whine about the tiny bit they saw.

I found the first episode entertaining and wanted to watch more. And so I did. This is a great, funny series with great comic acting. Of course the plot is ludicrous, what comedy isn't (have these people ever watched Brassic et al), and it is that very silliness that makes it so entertaining. Give it a go. You'll enjoy it.
