Sandylands

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

Easy watching comedy that has lots of relatable characters in. Sweet and heartwarming, it's a nice tale that doesn't take itself too seriously, but has lots of depth. Defo worth a watch, there had better be a season 2!

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!

Had no idea it was a comedy, though. I mean, I didn't laugh once, but still enjoyed it. Are you sure it's a comedy? Obviously, if you're looking for something to make you laugh, you might want to watch something else...

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!
