Bridget & Eamon

Found this on Hulu when I was checking out which programs each station offered. This show is a hidden gem, at least here in the states. I'll be honest it took a while before I could start finding it funny. Sort of like a slow burn. But after the second or third episode I really started to enjoy it. Now I have gone back and watched the series twice and love every episode. It's a little on the nose but so well done.

I also have to disagree with the one star review. Though if that person had started with the first episode instead of the second I think their thoughts might have been much different. Every series takes time to find their rhythm, and the level and quality between episodes will always vary. This series is absolutely brilliant, and is a wonderful mix of zaniness, hilarity and quirkiness. For us yanks it does take a bit to get accustomed to the Irish accents, and some of the societal references will be lost on those outside Ireland and the UK, but anyone willing to invest a little time and patience will be well rewarded. I couldn't recommend this series more highly.

Truly good comedy, excellent writing, for anyone who appreciates comedy as art

As a Yank that lived in Ireland for half a year in the the 70's and visited in the 80's and in 2010, I find "Bridget & Eamon" to be a right proper comedy. From gregarious to the subtle, humor abounds, minute to minute, in this old-world-Irish send-off. Rarely can so many clichés be acceptably jammed packed into 24 minutes with such great results. I highly recommend this 5 star comedy. It's well written and nicely performed.

I am currently watching 3rd season of Bridget and Eamon and have grown to love it. Whether it's Eamons stupidity or Bridget mad notions brings me right back to my childhood. Don't know if an American audience would get this humor but I certainly do and I find even if I'm in bad mood it always makes me chuckle. If you are wondering whether to try this out give it a few episodes as it does grow on you very similar to Farher Ted once you get to know characters
