Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas

This is a fun Christmas variety show that will appeal to fans of Ted Lasso, and of variety shows in general. Hannah Waddingham serves as the host of this special, To nobody's surprise, she is quite an amazing singer, and belts out many Christmas standards, both old and new.

While Waddingham is excellent, and is paired well with special guests including but not limited to special guests like Leslie Odom Jr. And Luke Evans, it falls flat when it comes to everything else. Instead of being Waddington's show, it feels more like a Ted Lasso reunion. Almost every major character from Ted Lasso makes an appearance.

While I am not opposed to cast reunions, the fact that Ted Lasso only recently ended its run, made the cast's appearance distracting, to me and took away from her performance, when in reality, it should have been Waddington's show.

That said, this is still a very fun variety show that will appeal to all ages.

Hannah Waddingham's been a prominent entertainer for over a decade, both in song and acting. One of her notable roles has been on "Ted Lasso", although I haven't seen it; she also co-starred on the Netflix series "Sex Education". Here she hosts a yuletide extravaganza in the London Coliseum, with the Gay Men's Chorus participating. "Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas" features her performing with a number of people, with all sorts of tricks. Every part of this 44-minute special is the perfect balance of camp and Christmas cheer. I hope Hannah Waddingham does more of these things. She is one fine gal!

One of the most soulless, empty and fake shows I have ever seen. Middle of the road "standards" are not my kind of music I admit, I'm more of a Dumpy's Rusty Nuts man, but I tuned in because I love anything Christmassy and I liked the star in previous things I've seen her in. Throughout the show, I I had the nagging and distracting feeling that the events on stage were not filmed anywhere near an audience. It all just looked so false and cynical.

Plus, of course it's pandering, and oh so very camp. Aren't we hilarious? I would have thought they would have trusted in her talent enough just to get her up there singing without these kinds of gimmicks.

I love Hannah and only came to know her on Ted Lasso so I had a feeling her special would be awesome. I enjoyed all the cameos and that her own family was there was sweet. I was bummed about one thing but the ending made me extremely happy .. as that one bummer thing unhappened. She is lovely and it's nice to see a full figured woman with curves verses the skinny women out there now. She sings wonderfully and this was a nice special to get my Christmas season started. And don't forget poor Nick Mohammed who was Nathan in Ted Lasso left hangin from the rafters..perfect. Thanks for the lovely afternoon on my rainy dreary day becoming a little brighter.

This has been by far the most wonderful Christmas music special, that I have ever seen. I simply adore Hannah Waddingham as the amazing, actress, singer and multi-talent that she is. She deserves to be the spearhead of a generation of strong women in acting and this special only highlights her impressive abilities, as a multi-talent.

Her voice is wonderful and her Christmas album that accompanies this show, is also highly recommended.

And to be honest, while the Ted Lasso Crew was nice to see - I didn't need them, she is the shining light and may her light continue to shine and this be repeated.

Thanks for almost 50 minutes of joy, happiness and awe.
