Romantic Getaway

Normally Romesh is pretty decent but this feels like someone asked him to write a tv show in 5 minutes and this is the result.

It's simply just not funny, not once did I laugh.

Romesh's acting couldn't be more wooden if he tried. It's like he has no ideas what the words are and he has to read of a script taped to the floor.

And Katherine Ryan? Well she is absolutely God awful. She's not funny at the best of times, but here she is again shouting her way through the script whilst trying to be as agressive and bossy as possible. Absolutely the worst choice to play Romesh's wife. She gives zero chemistry to the role. A potato would have been a better choice.

Hopefully this show is cancelled because I can't think of any sane person that would want to watch a 2nd season of this tripe.

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 possibly the least funny comedy I've seen, ever. Romesh couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, I don't know why production companies keep giving him airtime (especially after Reluctant Landlord). He just stands around looking clueless for the majority of the show. The storyline is a series of idiotic choices that no sane (or insane) person would ever make. Worst of all they've managed to make Johnny Vegas unfunny. Not one character was in any way believable. This could have been good, the basic concept wasn't too bad, shame the acting was so poor with zero chemistry between the couple who wanted a family. They feel more like siblings who fell out a long time ago, not lovers who are desperate for children. Utter dross.

Now from looking at trailers this seemed like it would be funny, unfortunately in my opinion it was well under par, not really funny and pretty poor acting from timeshare and Katherine, think they needed a half decent director who maybe could of helped improve they're acting, a lot of acting coaching is required to improve the series, the last episode doesn't complete the series so looks like we're in for a disappointment of a second series, was very disappointed and wouldn't recommend for people to especially make the effort to watch it, I would suggest find something funnier with better reviews to watch.

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.
