Our Ex-Wife

This pilot is absolute quality writing.

My "second wife" and I laughed all the way through this from start to finish.

The synergies of my "ex-wife" was all too real :)

All the characters have strong and funny lines, which bounce off the central pair and cement the plot.

The one liner spats between the ex's were hilarious.

This pilot must to proceed into a full series.

Well done to the BEEB for having the vision to do this.

Fingers crossed we will see the characters and plot expand into a full series.

Is it me, or have most new TV sitcoms been a bit weak & soft of late? Or merely rewritten 'homages' to old sitcoms that should have instead been left to run repeatedly on 'Re-run Gold', or whatever those channels are called. Yes, it's time for Mrs Slocombe's pussy to be finally laid to rest.

Well 'Our Ex-Wife' was a refreshing change for the better. a brilliantly fast paced romp of a sitcom with a vicious edge as sharp as a well honed knife.

You'll know the story-line from the other reviews above, but have to watch the pilot show itself to truly appreciate the masterful writing and the stunning performances of its cast.

Victoria Hamilton was amazing as Hillary, the O.T.T. 'Cruella DeVille' of an ex-wife, whilst Robert Webb as Jack, her ex-husband, tried to give as good as he got. but usually failed.

Melanie Lynskey and Peter Egan were excellent as Sarah & George, Jack's new Fiancée and Father. Sarah trying feebly to form a bond with the 'psychopathic' Hillary, whilst George wisely trying to stay out of the line of fire as best he could.

Even the supporting actors were great, especially the kids.

At last we have a sitcom that is pure gold, and I for one cannot wait to see more episodes of 'Our Ex-Wife'as soon as possible.

Why is this still not being made? I remember this pilot from years back and still find myself awaiting the series. Maybe Robert Webb should find it himself? Surely we can crowd fund it? Or Netflix can pick it up?

What a surprisingly witty, darkly funny, fast-paced, brilliantly cast and highly entertaining gem of a pilot. The half hour program felt like 10 minutes, and even though it felt like and end to a short movie when the last like was said- I immediately wished there was more entertainment like this. As this pilot is from 2016 I can only hope somewhere in the archives there are at least 4 series waiting to be released. I'll file it next to Absolutely Fabulous, Black Books, Fleabag.... If you do a series- at least 8 episodes, please.

And I don't want anything for my birthday AND Christmas this year 😉

This show is LOL!!! I don't understand why they only made 1 episode. That's right... 1 episode, not 1 season. Why do they tease us with such great TV and then deliver all that other crap! More of THIS show please.
