Mr. Bigstuff

'Mr Bigstuff follows two estranged brothers; Glen (Sampson), a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live a suburban ideal and Lee (Dyer), an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a tin full of their dad's ashes.'

I really didn't know what to expect when I first put on Mr Big stuff but I was genuinely happily surprised. It's a show that doesn't take itself too seriously, well doesn't take itself seriously at all - but it works. There are numerous moments with perfect comedic timing and the casting is great too. Danny Dyer is fantastic alongside Ryan Sampson whilst Adrian Scarborough and Faitha El-Ghorri were also standout in there roles. It also felt like they were having genuine fun with it also.

Mr Bigstuff is not trying to be groundbreaking, but is a feel-good series that is genuinely worth a watch, has the sort of easy to watch / easy going vibe to watch after a long day and unwind.

I'd give it a 7/10.

I put the first episode of this on to try it out and ended up binging the entire show in one night. There are some genius moments throughout, some that had me belly laughing, others that had me crying. The writing is brilliant.

The characters become more well rounded as the show goes on. I'm genuinely going to miss seeing them on my screen. The actors all did a brilliant job, and the comedic timing is second to none.

The last episode is incredibly heartwarming, whilst still keeping up the humour. Ryan Sampson and Danny Dyer's acting throughout the series is great, but in this episode especially.

If you watch the first episode and aren't sure you're going to like the rest, I'd recommend sticking with it, it's worth it.

I've just binged season one of this comedy and I did have high hopes of really loving this show, because I'm a big fan of Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson's Tommo in Brassic, is different class, he's my favourite character in that show by a country mile. But sadly it failed to be as funny as I hoped. Yes in parts this comedy did have me chuckling to myself. But for a large percentage of it, I just felt annoyance and frustration. For me, my biggest gripe is that all the cast are just too shouty, too over the top, too hyper. Calm down everyone! You've all got far too much 'cocaine energy' and its tiring just watching you at times.

I love both Ryan Sampson and Danny Dyer so thought this would be good. The first episode was certainly different but the more you watch, the more you are drawn in. It's definitely not for everyone but if like me you enjoy a giggle, are not easily offended and have no issue with swearing (and the c-word) then seriously give this a go. Not only humorous, it does get a bit deep at times. The actors play the parts well and Sampson and Dyer are an unlikely combination, but it works really well... a modern Del Boy and Rodney 😀 Although it is a six parter, be prepared that you may want to binge it... I did!

Really enjoyed series 1 and looked forward to series 2 but felt disappointed after watching it all.

Danny Dyer is a joy, not a character actor by any stretch, just plays Danny Dyer and it's great to watch, Ryan Sampson on the other hand plays the down at heel loser only not as likeable as Grumio in Plebs or witty as Tommo in Brassic, this time I found the character just annoying.

Plotwise, it was always a vehicle for series 3, people liked series 1 so make as many more as you can, it worked for Brassic (to an extent). I just came away from series 2 thinking "was that it?".
