Romantic Getaway

Now from looking at trailers this seemed like it would be funny, unfortunately in my opinion it was well under par, not really funny and pretty poor acting from timeshare and Katherine, think they needed a half decent director who maybe could of helped improve they're acting, a lot of acting coaching is required to improve the series, the last episode doesn't complete the series so looks like we're in for a disappointment of a second series, was very disappointed and wouldn't recommend for people to especially make the effort to watch it, I would suggest find something funnier with better reviews to watch.

This is possibly the least funny comedy I've seen, ever. Romesh couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, I don't know why production companies keep giving him airtime (especially after Reluctant Landlord). He just stands around looking clueless for the majority of the show. The storyline is a series of idiotic choices that no sane (or insane) person would ever make. Worst of all they've managed to make Johnny Vegas unfunny. Not one character was in any way believable. This could have been good, the basic concept wasn't too bad, shame the acting was so poor with zero chemistry between the couple who wanted a family. They feel more like siblings who fell out a long time ago, not lovers who are desperate for children. Utter dross.

This is a proper old-fashioned laugh out loud comedy caper.

The plot is a simple one: a guy called Deacon decides to steal some money from his horrible boss to pay for IVF. Deacon has never even stolen a paper clip before so clearly this plan hasn't been well thought out!

Each solution Deacon comes up with to resolve the problems his previous ideas have caused obviously make things ten times worse - each consequence, ten times funnier.

I've always found Katharine Ryan funny but I can't say I've ever rated Romesh Ranganathan before but as a result of watching this, which he co-wrote, I reckon he is clearly a comedy genius. Also, Johnny Vegas would not usually be on my list of people I'd go out of my way to see on my tv but with such a well written role like this he's brilliant. Absurdly over the top, loud, foul-mouthed and vulgar but totally hilarious.

It's presented in six half hour episodes but since each one ends on a cliffhanger, I dare you not to be able to watch them all in one go.

I really enjoyed this, acting was good, script was well written. Don't mind the haters, this is worth a watch, looking forward to next season, nice finish leaves it hanging.

Really nice to see so many class comedians in this type of production. Romesh, Katherine, Johnny and supporting comedians and cast all were brilliant in their roles. The pace was fast it didn't stall, it's hard to find fault with this kind and style of production and the way it was delivered. I am not someone who provides reviews, this would be my first, I checked on IMDb to see if there was a second season and thought it was important to provide a balanced view given the small handful of initial negative responses that truly are unfounded. Credit to the cast and production team this delivers.

If you want to watch something that will make you laugh out loud, is just a bit of lighthearted fun, doesn't have a million complicated twists and turns and is intentionally hammy, then sit back and enjoy. A really enjoyable cast - Vegas is hilarious, Ryan's dry cutting humour is spot on (need to watch more of her stuff for sure) and Ranganathan has some quality moments. Sure, it's no classic but if you want something to help wind down your busy day and put a big smile on your face, then this is it! Great fun!! Obviously leaves itself wide open for season 2, which will hopefully come sooner than later!
