Avoidance

I'm 4 episodes in. Wasn't sure at first. Definitely a slow burner, but stay will it. All lead characters are great. Humour fantastic. Jessica at her best.

... transition from season one to season two required a leap of faith... and season two ends as if the production can-be-over... with little to offer that is not routine, unfunny situations episode upon episode, why it should go on at all is debatable

... cast is adequate for what they've been given to perform... there's lots really annoying at times, and you'll find yourself either sitting waiting for something halfway-meaningful to happen, or fast-forwarding through increasing segments of nondescript-proceedings.. should there be a season three, what more can be accomplished-said.. this really should be over.

Romesh Ranganathan is a great comedian, but his strength lies in his dry and acerbic quick wit. Strip that away and you're left with what you have here - a dull, wet character who weaponises his incompetence and bores the pants off the viewer.

The writing is slow and shallow, the supporting cast are given very little to work with, and RR's Jonathan is frustratingly unlikeable; he really doesn't have any endearing qualities at all. The man is a walking red flag.

The only way that the show could improve is for the main character to realise what a passive aggressive, selfish turnip he is, which would then mean the show ceased to exist...

Seriously disappointing.

The main character is a "serial avoider", avoiding issues, confrontation and life in general. He bumbles along and every episode shows his incompetence in handling life issues. The theme works for about the first 2 episodes but one soon realizes that that's all there is to the series. Nothing really happens other than the lead character constantly making a hash of his life (and those around him) and getting nowhere, other than just being a source of annoyance to those around him.

The acting is on par with your usual sitcom and the only thing missing is a canned laughter track. Characters are very shallow and there is just not enough substance to hold a viewer's interest. Gave up after episode 4. Hopefully, there will not be a second season.

I am not a huge fan of comedies in general but I thought I would give this a go and I am really enjoying it. Romesh is down trodden, weak and pitiful member of society, who does everything and anything to protect his son from harsh realities of life. A definite watch.
