Dead Hot

What a gem! Like all classic British tv comedy shows it comes in at 6 episodes, each of which gallops along at pace. The two leads are excellent, combining empathy, comedy but with a perfect underlying stench of suspicion. Supporting cast are similarly up to par, memorable and funny. Peter Serafinowicz in particular!

Writing and dialogue was a dream, never a dull moment, with little easter eggs packed into everything. The show overall felt tight, no wasted scenes, shots, dialogue or characters. The amount of detail that Aunt Bonnie's equastrian kink was unbelievable for such a side plot.

As a side note, I'm confused by the low overall rating from silent reviewers...

Overall unique characters, fast paced and satisfying resolution!

"Dead Hot" is a captivating TV show that seamlessly blends drama, thriller, and comedy into a thrilling experience. One of its standout features is the abundance of twists and turns, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. The stellar cast delivers outstanding performances, drawing viewers into the world of the show from the very beginning. Personally, I found myself completely hooked, unable to look away as the story unfolded. "Dead Hot" is truly unlike anything I've ever seen before, and it quickly sucked me into its intriguing world.

I kinda didn't want it to end as I want to see more of the cast and the dramas... Will there be a season 2..

Really enjoyed this quirky series aimed at the younger generation. So many twists and turns. Great script and look to the series. Witty, surprising, wild. Excellent cast, and strong on diversity. Would watch this a second time and hope they make a second season. The best series I've seen on Amazon Prime in a long time. Different tone and colour palette. Oddball, offbeat characters who nevertheless felt real and lived-in. Perfect for teenagers but also older folks. It's great that young voices are now being heard via the streaming services as it is imperative that we change the discourse to appeal to a new generation.

I liked this! Offbeat quirky humour, lots of plot twists, fun modern characters. Would recommend as a fun watch, would watch a second season, but I don't think I'd rewatch it - so I gave it a 7/10. Especially enjoyed the grandma and auntie, totally bonkers and a really good juxtaposition to Elliot's normal world. If I had to name any negatives, I guess because it's quirky and cartoonish I didn't find myself emotionally invested in the characters, but I did enjoy them. And I was invested in the plot enough to want to know the resolution! A few times I laughed out loud hard and had to rewind to enjoy a line again. Solid comedy.

It British so has a particular style and sense of humour and it's probably not for you if you enjoy more mainstream US type of style and humour. However, accept it for what it is and I think you'll buoy.

There are oddball characters, like the grandmother and the pet grooming lady - he hair style in one episode is a visual treat!

It also has great visual style. It's lovely and quirky and makes Liverpool look great. Yes the lead is gay, and yes the cast is diverse, but get over it, keep an open mind and have fun watching it. It has moments of the absurd but so does something like "Extraordinary" and that gets higher ratings. I think there's a teeny bit of homophobia and racism in some of the reviewers which is clouding their judgement.

It's light, fun, quirky. Enjoy!
