Mr. Bigstuff

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.

Just finished binging this great series. Great acting, great humour. Danny Dyer has found himself again after losing his personality on EastEnders.

It starts as it means to go on and dives straight into the story line which is great, you don't have to watch endless fluff to get the backdrop which is the case for some other series.

You will repeat the spoon dance scene around 10 times and laugh just as hard each time.

The only issue is when you finish you are left awaiting the 2nd season which must surely be in the pipeline as it is fully set up for it.

Some of the characterisations are really funny, Glen's boss is hilarious on his own and everyone has seen an Ayesha character these days. Both very funny.

Highly recommend, unsure how there are 1/10 ratings, that is a bit of an insult to a thoroughly entertaining production.

'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'm only halfway through this series so far and am really enjoying this. I cannot understand the bad reviews at all! I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before starting it as it may have put me off watching.

It has a great cast, it's easy to watch, and quite funny! Those reviews that are saying Danny Dyer is playing Danny Dyer clearly haven't got past the first episode. He may have used his own accent, but his character is entirely different!

Can't wait to finish this and I hope it gets renewed for a second season.

Seems to me that this show is like marmite, you're either going to love it or hate it. But give it a try and don't quit on the first episode!!!

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.
