Here We Go

8/10

Entertaining multi gen comedy.

One extended family's experiences of not coping very well with 2020. Gentle observational humour builds up to a couple of set pieces which deliver real belly laughs.

Its nice and relatable

I love the characters and it feels like a more realistic less scary Friday night dinner. The characters are a little stereotypical in parts (Cherry and Robin) but there is nuanced queer representation, subtle mental health awareness and Sam is awesome and isn't boxed in at all.

Such a refreshing comedy.

The trials and tribulations of The Jessops, a family for whom life, just seems to go wrong.

I absolutely loved this series, imaginative, funny, very well acted, and just a little bit different. I liked the format, it jumps back and forth a bit, it's original.

It's genuinely funny from start to finish, two episodes stood out in particular, the family portrait, that was side splitting, and The Scottish family holiday, some great dialogue, and very funny scenarios.

In all fairness, this had some pedigree, Jim Howick, Katherine Parkinson and of course the magical Alison Steadman, that's a tremendous lineup, they're all on form here.

The series picked up where the pilot left off, it's a cracking show, I hope it continues into the future.

More please, 9/10.

Our family loved this!

Best comedy I've seen on the BBC for a while, and appealed to all ages in our family, plus had a good amount of laugh out loud moments. The cast is good, with some nice guest appearances from familiar comedy faces. More please!

Imagine Peep show but with a family.

Can't believe I have only just found out about this programme, it is legitimately funny and full of cringey British Humour.

Great cast of known comedic actors and some I didn't recognise, but they all played a blinder.

Only on episode 6 but the ending of episode 5 really reminded me of Peep Show, it's the small victories and all.

Definitely worth a watch if you like British comedy and so far it's been really clean, which I didn't expect, but don't let that put you off lol.

7/10.

Very funny

I have only just discovered this show. Binge watched the latest series because I found it so funny. Now I am working my way through the earlier series. The stand out star of the show is undoubtedly Alison Steadman. Although having said that every character is well written. Jane Horrocks put in a very amusing guest appearance as a cheat at UNO. I am surprised to see so many negative reviews I think it is a very clever comedy.

I liked it

I havent seen the Christmas pilot that people seem to be making reference to, just the first episode going to the theme park.

It feels a bit wooden sometimes, but that's just a style thing. The Office and Peep Show felt like that at the beginning also.

It really borrows heavily from that style of comedy, some of it feels a bit forced, but it is really funny. I laughed out loud at a few points.

The BBC, being the BBC of course cant help the obligatory tick boxing. But. It was a good show.

Brilliant and funny

Don't understand the bad reviews this is hilarious. Maybe people should give it a chance. Well cast. Well written. I hope they make a 2nd series because I love it.

Promising New Family Comedy from the BBC.

It's seemingly been a while since the BBC had it's last family comedy and so, here comes "Here We Go" (also known as Pandemonium", a Dom Com about the Jessops.

The show is definitely promising, providing good observational humour and quite gentle in nature. It's a bit too slow-paced, but I suspect that that will be rioned out as the series progresses.

Love it

This show is so funny.

The characters are perfect and work so well together I can't wait for more seasons.

I do have to say that omfg Tom Basden is so freaking sexy what a total Dilf I love seeing him especially in those sexy tight clothes I'd love to see a lot more of him yes I'm being that person oh well I don't care the man is irresistible so sexy why doesn't he have an onlyfans account I'd pay out the ass haha for that view.

Ok hahaha so this time I'll try to get more serious and say it is a great show and definitely worth making more seasons of in the future I can't wait to see more from them all.

A modern family sitcom with a likeable cast

Modern British sitcoms struggle to get strong, funny scripts and this is no different, however episodes 4 and 5 were really very good.

The cast is pretty decent and I really liked Jim Howick, who is incredibly relatable.

This show will never be a classic, it's mostly forgettable but it's still worth a watch. They need to replicate the quality of the scripts in episodes 4 & 5.

horrendous

Cant believe anyone actually found this funny. At times my ears hurt. Not worth a 150 characters review. Dire dire dire. What else can i say, in my defense i was terribly bored and that;s why i watched it in the first place. Oh to turn back time.

So very very funny

I love this serie, it's so funny and I really like the fact of the use of a camera which is handled by one of the family members (the son). Great lines and really nice acting!

We all wish we could have family members like them and especially the mother (in law) played by Alison Steadman is really good. But also the mum and dad of the family are very likeable and funny.

So forget the negative comments as this is a serie to watch with a nice hot brew and forget the world around you. Just have a laugh and enjoy this uncomplicated and sometime very complicated funny family. You might even recognise your own family in certain situations!

Brilliantly written and acted

The acting and writing in this sit com is top notch . Although it is a well trodden format the storylines are surprisingly unexpected. I love the writing of the female lead, she owns her foibles and is very open to new challenges reinventing herself despite being the classic loving mum /wife /daughter in law / sister etc stuck in the middle of it all, Catherine Parkinson plays her with a beautiful lightness. All the cast are brilliant with the perfect mix of familiar faces and new talent .In my opinion this sits with the classics of recent years ,. Friday night Dinner and This Country ,it has us in stitches on the sofa and rewatching episodes to suit our current mood .

Another season pease and quick !

Best comedy sitcom in years!

Absolutely brilliant! Each character plays their role so perfectly and the way the episodes are made is such a great concept. Can't wait for series 4. BBC, please keep the original cast for any future episodes. This sitcom deserves a Christmas special!

Paul is such a brilliant actor and the way he tries to show his authority as a police officer is just hilarious.

If you like Gavin & Stacey then you will love this.

Best BBC Show For A While

One of the best comedies produced by the BBC in a long time, Here We Go is quick-witted in Its story of a relatable family. Not all of the characters are hits, but together they create a great chemistry which is always enjoyable thanks to some great casting.

Parkinson and Howick deliver the best of the comedy, Howick perfectly delivering the beta-male character who's behaviour is a continuous laugh. The plots are simple but delivered in an unconventional fashion and overall the series provides a fresh feature of light entertaining.

Awful!

Very disappointing, Scripty, cheesy and pretty much like something you'd see on tv in the 70s. Given that is supposed to be a 'fly on the wall' kind of deal the "acting" is utterly dreadful! And it must be the script because Katherine Parkinson is an excellent actress and I'm a big fan, she is wasted in this! I'm curious as to why anyone would find this rubbish funny??? It isn't.

Under-rated

Perfect mix between Outnumbered and Not going out with so many laugh out loud moments. Everyone in the ensemble cast is fantastic. Hope there's more to come!

Interesting concept and good acting

My only complaint with this series is that they probably could have made it look more like it has been filmed and edited by a teenager.

Apart from that though, this is a really fun and entertaining series with superb acting.

Hectic and Hilarious!

For the past three years, BBC has been knocking out some terrible shows/sitcoms. However, Here We Go is absolutely brilliant! Tom Basen is a fantastic writer, and I appreciate his comedy. This show is simple yet so, so funny - and I am sure many British families can relate to the hectic mess that family life can be like. I completely agree with others who say this is the best comedy I have seen in a while. There's nothing particularly eventful or dramatic, but that's what makes it so good. Love all the actors - great casting. Go on - give it a watch! It's a light hearted bit of entertainment. So glad there's a season two.

Very, very funny, even if it feels familiar

I've seen a few reviews saying this series just rips off other shows. Ok so it's got elements that seem to have been borrowed from Gavin and Stacey, like the family banter, and there's the camera's view which could be compared to the concept of Peep Show. There's probably homage to just about every other family sitcom as well, but it doesn't matter when the show is so very good in its own right. A stellar cast from just about every great sitcom of recent years just adds to the great writing. The characters are relatable but also recognisable. You'll see yourself but also other people. Here's hoping for more series.
