A Whole Lifetime with Jamie Demetriou

Loved Stath, but didn't get series 3 as much as the others, so was unsure if I'd given Jamie and his regulars too much credit. However...

His Comic Relief sketches were inspired, doing his own thing to the max, then a great song by the ensemble.

Wasn't sure about this Netflix special, but stuck the trailer on and was intrigued (the old hospital man needs his own series!). So glad I watched it - I honestly think it's the funniest thing I've watched in the last few years. Some of the sketches were incredibly fresh and unexpected. I've only docked a star for the Best Man sketch, but probably being a bit mean. The only thing similar (to me) is I Think I Should Leave, but both are unique. Want more more more now, but will gladly watch this again, whenever I just want a laugh. Thanks.

This is great. It's subtle and it's hilarious. If you can't see that then you're no fan of Ricky Gervaise, Alan Partridge or Month Python.

This boy is going places (and no I'm not his gorgeous sister).

Now I'm gonna just repeat this to get over the absurd minimum character thing IMBD have done for some reason...

So disappointed in this, I am a massive Stath let's Flats fan and had high hopes for more character comedy genius but was left completely disappointed. The whole thing is a messy mish mash of quite frankly nonsense. The comedy doesn't root itself in anything relatable or funny. It's not even weird in a kooky out there comedy genius way it's just boring predictable nonsense! Jamie is however a brilliant comedy actor and he can pull off such varied characters so well and this showcased his brilliant diversity in acting but really none of his comedic writing skills. I guess it will always be hard to follow up a hit show but sometimes as in this case it's best not to try. I really hope he can find his comedy again and come back with a well put together quirky and most importantly FUNNY show. Sorry Jamie this wasn't it.

Really interesting and refreshing look at comedy, not for boomers I guess. Not perfect but got lots of potential for a follow up. If you like ITYSL I think you'd like this.

Nice observations of social anxiety, crap TV, vulnerable people and parenting. The slapstick in it is great, and Demetriou is a natural at it. He uses his low vocal range in great comedic ways too.

Definitely not perfect, some of it falls flat (some of the music is beyond so-bad-it's good) and it's not quite as deep as the sketches could have been. It's definitely too weird for some people, but really, that's a good thing.

Absolutely crying whilst watching this. Yea I appreciate that if you don't get his off the wall humour it'll probably disappoint. It's so Steve coogan and British cringe comedy. I love it. I need more of this lol.

Don't be dismayed by the 1/10 ratings. Watch it and make your own opinion. It sums up perfectly how it feels to grow up and the awkwardness of teenage life to adulthood. The joke specifically in the office and the gag was absolutely hilarious. I love stath and I love the comedy in both of these shows

I hope Netflix make more of this because it's bloody brilliant Well done Jamie and everyone involved!
