A comedy of errors if we need to have the word comedy associated with this poorly written obvious waste of time.
Whoever told the writer they were funny was only being kind.
Disjointed difficult to follow and oh how slow and barely pedestrian it moved from o e painfully stereotyped scene to another.
Clearly filmed on a budget when the supporting cast had the spare time it gave the impression it was just a vehicle to press home Rose is disabled and requires reminding and is desperately seeking a numerous angle.
Spoiler alert it wasn't funny it was embarrassing and quite frankly insulting to anyone with an ounce of respecting the diverse society we live in.
Good try but a fail.

Pushers is fantastic! I laughed out loud a lot watching this!
Absolutely loved the characters, ideas, and story.
I was captivated from episode 1. Hoping channel 4 make more series of this as it would he great to see how it develops.
Rosie jones is really funny, she's one of my favourite comedians. Her writing it great and I found myself laughing out loud a lot during this show.
The concept of then show is a really fun and witty idea, I've never seen anything like it before.
Really enjoyed the set design, location choices and whole vibe of the show.
Hoping for a season two please! Just wonderful.

I make no apologies for loving Rosie Jones. She has a talent beyond belief and has made a great name for herself. I find her acting effortless and natural, her comedy sublime and her subject matter excellent. Pushers is a genius blend of social commentary and comedy. I love how the cast doesn't get any of her jokes and they just hang in the air. All the characters are well thought out and beautifully performed by a very talented cast. Rosie has got it right. The disgrace of this countries blind ignorance to the issues that face people with disabilities and on the breadline is lit up like a beacon. The fact that she volunteers like so many for Charities across the country, whilst the system grinds her down and and makes it impossible for her to survive is the sort of writing that needs attention. I have loved every minute of Pushers. Brave writing indeed.
This show is excruciating to watch, a frustrating mix of wasted potential and misfired execution. The supporting actors are undeniably talented, delivering stellar performances that shine despite the material they're given. Their energy and charisma are the only saving grace, but even they can't salvage the clunky, uninspired script. The comedy feels forced, lacking any natural rhythm or flow-it's like watching a machine sputter and stall. Jokes land with a thud, and the awkward pauses that follow are almost palpable, as if the show itself is unsure of what it's trying to be.
The writing is the core issue, riddled with predictable gags and shallow character development. It's grating to see the supporting cast, who clearly bring their A-game, constantly propping up this flimsy framework. They're doing heavy lifting to cover for the poor pacing and lackluster dialogue, but it's a losing battle. The effort from the cast and crew is evident, and you can sense their commitment to making it work, but the foundation is too weak to support their ambition. This series feels like it was rushed to production without enough refinement-it never should've moved past the pilot stage.
Without the excessive padding, each episode could be condensed to a tight five minutes of actual content. The transitions between scenes are bloated with unnecessary filler, dragging out what little substance there is. It's as if the show is stalling for time, hoping viewers won't notice the lack of depth. A sharper edit could've helped, but it wouldn't fix the core problem: a premise that's stretched far beyond its capacity to entertain. Fans of the genre might stick around for the supporting cast's charm, but for most, this is a slog not worth enduring. Save your time and skip it.

I wanted and expected to enjoy this, but found it painfully unwatchable. The writing is hackneyed and derivative and constantly misfires. The performances have energy, but that can't salvage the insipid script. The comedy for the most part just doesn't work. It lacks charm and has big 'written by committee' energy.
Most of the jokes don't land and many are as predictable as Bank Holiday traffic jams. There's plenty of irony, although certainly unintentional, as this identity politics based sitcom seems to be unsure of what it is (and isn't).
Armando Iannucci has been responsible for some of the best tv comedy, but this is a stinker.
