Deep Heat

I tried with this series but gave up way sooner than I expected. Unlikeable characters with overexaggerated/overacted reactions and interactions is a huge distraction when making any attempt to resonate or connect with the characters. Poor writing leaving me with a huge desire to REALLY want the next thing to come out of a characters mouth to be funny - unfortunately...it never is.

Another large problem about the show is that the budget really shows. I've seen plenty of low-budget shows in the past that have been fantastic (e.g. Misfits, The Inbetweeners, Red Dwarf, Skins), but whilst they've pulled it off, Deep Heat REALLY shows its low budget, often looking extremely cheap all over.

And Episode 3 - 'The Panther', is quite possibly the worst episode of any TV show I've seen EVER. Despite the fact that John Thomson's character 'Enrique' has the most obvious use of faux facial hair in television, the plot of the episode is practically non-existant, and as a whole, mind-numbingly boring.

I'm actually a fan of Alistair Petrie (Clifford), from his excellent performance as the struggling headmaster in 'Sex Education', yet even he couldn't save this show.

It'll be a much better use of your time to just give this a miss as opposed to even attempting with it, trust me.

I think some people go a bit to deep into every show, some shows are just silly fun! Sure some jokes don't land and there are issues, I enjoyed it. Thought the lead girl was genuinely amusing, it's an 7.5/10 show but put 10 as it definitely doesn't deserve a 1. Sadly doubt it'll get a second series but hope it does! Could be really good with some tweaks but people would rather batter it into the ground.

Another British comedy part funded by the British taxpayer.

The wrestling base is a new one for the UK but that is where any shine ends.

Dreadful script, lacking in imagination and the essence of comedy missing, laughs.

Another good example of a good cast being saddled with a Titanic of a script.

Threw-in-the-towel after 1.5 episodes of this wrestling based comedy. Commenced episode 2 on auto pilot, not sure why because it was already evident this is a vapid unfunny script that lost pinned to the canvas in round one.

This show does, what it does, very well. It's not a big budget, big story dram-com, but then it doesn't pretend to be.

It's fun, and, although I seldom laugh out loud at TV, I did, several times, here.

As a bonus, it does, also, have the attractive Miss James, as the lead.
