Chronically underrated
I wish this show was my idea! The writing, premise and plot are fantastic. In some places, it may come across as thin on jokes, especially if you're used to U. S. sitcoms, but overall very good.
Pure Peng!
This series is pure peng! The sets...Boom. The screenplay, the plot. All top drawer. This has re-watch value and will have you in stitches fam. Peep this for real, 100% certified.
For those who don't speak London, let me reiterate. This is an excellent series with a fantastic plot, great sets and wardrobe, that will keep you amused. Never one dull moment and I just hope they make more as this series has legs if they chose to run it longer. Enjoy!

Timewasters
Just stumbled across this series and I'm hooked on it! It's fresh it's crazy it's brilliant. It does social commentary is such a clever way- it mocks it exposes bigotry all wrapped up in quick fire humour! Very very clever, well acted well played - it integrates little cameos from various films e.g. Get Me Out - Stepford Wives and spoofs them up! Great writing keep up the good work- hope we see more of this Team on our TV please
Enjoyed seeing something innovative
I thought the premise for Timewasters was innovative, the execution could of been a bit more thorough. As I watched all the episodes in one day, I was hoping for that climatic moment of relief when my hours spent watching feel worth the time which it did during musical scenes. I felt the episodes starting to drift off into mediocre bad children's tv. My rating of 6 might seem high, however that score is based on the concept of timewasters, the costumes and scenery and the musical elements of the show. Hopefully in time this show could be revived with better dialogue and episodes that lead to somewhere that make sense. After all I believe this show's audience is for a more mature audience.
Intelligent and underrated
I love an intelligent comedy, and this is one of the best! It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud this many times. It's original, with perfect comedic timing, and doesn't take itself too seriously despite the opportunities to call out prejudice. It's just fun and I love the characters are put into embarrassing and triumphant situations. Give it a try!
