Romantic Getaway

If you want to watch something that will make you laugh out loud, is just a bit of lighthearted fun, doesn't have a million complicated twists and turns and is intentionally hammy, then sit back and enjoy. A really enjoyable cast - Vegas is hilarious, Ryan's dry cutting humour is spot on (need to watch more of her stuff for sure) and Ranganathan has some quality moments. Sure, it's no classic but if you want something to help wind down your busy day and put a big smile on your face, then this is it! Great fun!! Obviously leaves itself wide open for season 2, which will hopefully come sooner than later!

Just finished watching this tonight and overall it was entirely enjoyable. I didn't weep with laughter but there were plenty of chuckles to keep me entertained and it was refreshing to watch a show with half an hour episodes for a change.

The premise was interesting, the execution ridiculous, which is what you expect in a comedy, and the ending sufficiently satisfying. The "uncle" Ketan character was an absolute show stealer.

I particularly enjoyed the storyline of the tax office arriving to audit them...probably even less likely than how easily Romesh's character stole and fenced a Ferrari!!

7/10.

I loved this, it was a modern day farce. Good one liners Kathrine and Romesh are so great.

I do feel something was missing not sure what.

But it was fun like an English fun with Dick and Jane.

I love that Kathryn was the smart quick and Romesh the absolute mess.

The end was ok. But could of given it a bit more I think.

But I would watch it again without a second thought Jonny Vegas was too funny.

Saying that though, I would of loved a bit more, needed a bit more like nuns on the run. It needed to be filled out a bit.

More tension I think. Romesh is a promising writer

Really loved it though. Give it a chance.

Gutted at how much I disliked this show because I really like Romesh, especially the Ranganation & his stand up shows but this was a really awful show! Not sure why they think throwing some comedians into one pot makes a great show because it really didn't.

The acting was awful & wooden. I don't think I smiled once never mind laughed and I'm normally a snort laugher!

I would say "it's not believable" but I know it's not meant to be - it's meant to be lighthearted but it just came across as cringy.

The worst part is my husband loved it so I had to sit through them all. If there's a season 2 I'm just gonna divorce him. 😂

This is a proper old-fashioned laugh out loud comedy caper.

The plot is a simple one: a guy called Deacon decides to steal some money from his horrible boss to pay for IVF. Deacon has never even stolen a paper clip before so clearly this plan hasn't been well thought out!

Each solution Deacon comes up with to resolve the problems his previous ideas have caused obviously make things ten times worse - each consequence, ten times funnier.

I've always found Katharine Ryan funny but I can't say I've ever rated Romesh Ranganathan before but as a result of watching this, which he co-wrote, I reckon he is clearly a comedy genius. Also, Johnny Vegas would not usually be on my list of people I'd go out of my way to see on my tv but with such a well written role like this he's brilliant. Absurdly over the top, loud, foul-mouthed and vulgar but totally hilarious.

It's presented in six half hour episodes but since each one ends on a cliffhanger, I dare you not to be able to watch them all in one go.
