Here We Go

I have only just discovered this show. Binge watched the latest series because I found it so funny. Now I am working my way through the earlier series. The stand out star of the show is undoubtedly Alison Steadman. Although having said that every character is well written. Jane Horrocks put in a very amusing guest appearance as a cheat at UNO. I am surprised to see so many negative reviews I think it is a very clever comedy.

Can't believe I have only just found out about this programme, it is legitimately funny and full of cringey British Humour.

Great cast of known comedic actors and some I didn't recognise, but they all played a blinder.

Only on episode 6 but the ending of episode 5 really reminded me of Peep Show, it's the small victories and all.

Definitely worth a watch if you like British comedy and so far it's been really clean, which I didn't expect, but don't let that put you off lol.

7/10.

One extended family's experiences of not coping very well with 2020. Gentle observational humour builds up to a couple of set pieces which deliver real belly laughs.

The trials and tribulations of The Jessops, a family for whom life, just seems to go wrong.

I absolutely loved this series, imaginative, funny, very well acted, and just a little bit different. I liked the format, it jumps back and forth a bit, it's original.

It's genuinely funny from start to finish, two episodes stood out in particular, the family portrait, that was side splitting, and The Scottish family holiday, some great dialogue, and very funny scenarios.

In all fairness, this had some pedigree, Jim Howick, Katherine Parkinson and of course the magical Alison Steadman, that's a tremendous lineup, they're all on form here.

The series picked up where the pilot left off, it's a cracking show, I hope it continues into the future.

More please, 9/10.

I love the characters and it feels like a more realistic less scary Friday night dinner. The characters are a little stereotypical in parts (Cherry and Robin) but there is nuanced queer representation, subtle mental health awareness and Sam is awesome and isn't boxed in at all.
