Hapless

Really enjoyed watching this series, I binged on it, and it went by all too fast! Hopefully a 2nd series coming soon. Great performance from Tim Downie and very well written. I have recommended it to several friends already, I see a lot of people likening it to Friday Night Dinner, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and its true it is in a similar vein, but those shows are very funny and this one is NOT a poor imitation - just as good, if not better. (better than FriNghtDin in my opinion)... and its included in Prime so that's a bonus! Well done Amazon... Enjoy!

This is a great show, funny and jaw dropping in its non PC-ness at times, the windmills it tilts at deserve to be lanced. Essentially, everyone is selfish, greedy, stupid, kind, loving, big hearted and, well, human.

A fresh and exciting comedy, Tim Downie at his comedic best as a hapless investigative journalist, in angst with his sister, Naomi (Lucy Montgomery). Downie, leaps from one calamitous story to another, leaving a trail of funny 'disasters' behind, which he then has to try and put right, which doesn't always go according to plan! Daniel Sinyor is a little gem he plays Paul's (Downie's) young nephew, (Joshie) who seems to be involved somehow in Paul's misadventures

Very enjoyable. Made me laugh. Excellent reflection of modern day life. Great cast. Hope they do a second season!

I didn't know what to expect and was laughing from the off. If you like the comedy of pain, if you've ever been thwarted, if you're a striver... then this will make you howl.
