I thought this would be boring, but watched the pilot... then the second episode... then the third... fourth... fifth... sixth... seventh... and came full-stop only because those are the only episodes I could watch now On Demand.

Smart, funny, and thoughtful, with diverse characters and a quirky premise. Fun to see Ted Danson in a comedy again, too.

Not the usual, run-of-the-mill comedy, but also not just an off-the-rail-whatever show. Always seems to be an ethical point made.

I especially like the "Welcome" movie. Wondering about MY score.

Hey, Janet?

A curveball of a movie. Like most unconventional films, it has its ups and downs... and unlike more commercial releases, it's unpredictable: just when you think it's about this... suddenly, it's about something else entirely.

Love Simon Pegg in Star Trek: The Reboot and thought he was great here. Manic yet desperate, funny and pathetic.

The other actors - especially the friend owed 600 quid - were great. The special effects were believable. The script was funny.

My only complaint was how much of the film's dialogue was bleeped on the broadcast I saw. I'd much rather hear the whole film in its original context than be bleeped at by some censor-laden TV network. I'd like to see this film again uncensored.
