Green Wing

I really enjoyed green wing. i like the fact that it's kind of surreal and doesn't follow any set type of comedy. The laughs aren't clear lines, quips but a mix of things. So many comedies feel very forced but this doesn't, it's more relaxed. The characters are really accessible too, and Sue White and Guy Secretan are Really funny. But then even the 'straight' characters are much funnier than the regular stuff. and no 'learning' or 'growing', thank god. the comedy is quite soft, yet it's still enjoyable. Defo one of the top British comedies of recent years, with 'The Office' and 'Alan Partridge'. I really hope it has a second series, but it has to, right? eh?

This is the funniest series I have seen. It often left me gasping for breath after some outrageous repartee, while the next joke was already playing out. The characters have a three dimensional quality, with the relationships between them crucial to the electricity of the series. Mac and Guy and their 'love-hate' dynamic. Caroline and Mac and the respect and attraction that glides beneath the surface. Fresh and innovative. Where the personalities of the players bounce off one another, their little quirks identifiable as true to life. I am desperately awaiting the DVD release and, indeed, the next series. keep up the good work 'Green Wing'.

Green Wing. What is there to say? Brilliant gags, wonderful characters, no sick "spurting blood" jokes and absolutely, wonderfully dysfunctional. Sue White is one of the best comedy characters I have ever seen, just as good as Bernard Black of Black Books and that is something. The best thing about this series (now sadly departed) is that it is completely mad! This is definitely the funniest thing this year and if it is not nominated for comedy awards, I will be quite upset and may have to throw the T.V out the window. Anyone know when the DVD is out?Please? =D

Love it love it love it!!

I can understand why some of its more outlandish sketches has received criticism from one-off viewers, but following through the series, characters and plots develop to hilarious consequence. Michelle Gomez (Scottish nymphomaniac) is a comedy genius - fans should check her out in the similarly underrated 'Book Group'.

My bet is that by series 2 the rest of the country will have woken up to just how good this show is - lets hope we see less of over-hyped Little Britain (does ANYONE out there find the Dennis Waterman sketch remotely funny?!). Green Wing deserves the comedy crown!! *****

This show is so utterly brilliant. The other day my husband came home while I was watching it and said he could hear me laughing halfway down the sidewalk. May take one or two episodes to acquire a taste for this show, as it is so different from what you're used to watching, but there is so much richness and depth to Green Wing. The characters, while extremely quirky, are still real. While you may be screaming with laughter at some outlandish physical comedy moment or gag one moment, the next they will surprise you with a relatively sober, very dark scene (Joanna and her flip-book of Polaroids of herself as she ages).

In the US, this airs on BBC America. I would recommend it to people who love "Arrested Development." Of course, some of the most quirky and original shows can't last through very many seasons without losing some of their sting. I just hope "Green Wing" doesn't flare out soon, or disappear as its actors become stars in high demand in Britain and the US, as I'm sure many of them will.

By the way, for those of you who are sick of "hospital" shows, don't be fooled. This show couldn't care less about the patients! You almost never even see one, unless used as a meaningless prop beneath a sheet in the operating room. Definitely no "ER," this, thank God.
