Timewasters

Love the idea and execution of this show! I'm finding British shows are light years ahead of American shows when displaying grounded comedy from a Black perspective. While the cast is Black, the comedy is relatable to a diverse audience. Pleasantly surprised colorism is not present.

Time travel is not traditionally considered for Black characters, as one character muses that Black people don't have a desirable prior decade to want to visit. Overall, a light-hearted, witty comedy that I immensely enjoyed.

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!

It's no future classic comedy but I'm surprised by some of the reviews calling it terrible and racist. It's amusing and has it's moments and because it deals with the issues of racism in the 1950's , this seems to be the reason people call it racism, there is no point whitewashing history but laughing at how ridicolous attitudes should never be considered racist but should be considered a look back in time. It's watchable and certainly something I would consider watching , it's not going to change the world but amusing comedy that deals with thorny issues should be encouraged.

Very much liked it. was funny had a lot of humor, very much liked the slang and it different types of characters and how they seem to fit there instruments. Found the process from going back to the past using an elevator very different but all in all a excellent family (mature) comedy for different viewers.

I give it a 9-10

I LOOOVVVEEE this show. It's well written and beautifully acted in a way that you don't see everyday here in the US where everything is either cookie cutter or trying too hard to be original. One thing I did notice was the close resemblance of the four characters to the lead characters of "what's happenin" The American sitcom from the 70s. They have a Raj, a Rerun, a Dwayne, and even a Dee. It's no copy though. The time travel angle and storylines are completely original. The show manages to handle race (and sexism) in yesteryear England with some honesty without sacrificing humor or becoming somber. It's absolutely worth a watch, but...no kids in the room and skip it if you're a Hallmark movie churchy type. Oh and don't listen to the grumblers. People like to forget that Black people existed before the Cosby show.
