....and that would be the comedy. I think Romesh Ranganathan is a funny comedian, but this is just boring. I made it to episode 2, but when the funny bit is people burping because they've eaten too much chilli, you know the writing is bad.
It's a whimsical sitcom, but without the com bit.
I've given up on it after episode 2.

... 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.

Jonathan and Claire's relationship comes to an end, in between is their little boy Spencer, a six part series that shows how everyone tries to adapt to life's new circumstances.
I've read each of the reviews, and I think I can see the ones that watched the first one, or maybe just the first trip, I'd be the first to admit, I almost switched it off. I really didn't get into this at all....
..however, in episode four, something changes, it's almost as if the show finds its place, it doesn't provide rip roaring comedy, but it does become so enjoyable, if you stick with it, you're rewarded with a top notch series finale.
The characters take their time to warm up, I did take to Courtney straight away, and it was interesting to see her relationship with Spencer develop.
It isn't raucously funny, but it's Romesh, so it's humorous, and wonderfully dry, it does get funnier as it progresses.
No word on Series two yet, I hope there's more, as there is definitely potential here.
7/10.

I love pretty much everything Romesh is in because I love his awkwardness and deadpan style. Could of really good characters in it, not edgy or hard hitting but I did enjoy it.
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.
