I can see why it's divisive, it's very much a 'comedians comedy' - but unlike many other shows that fall under that umbrella, this isn't remotely self-indulgent. Jamie Demetriou is this generations Steve Coogan and, much like Partridge, the priority from the creator/performer is self-evident - first and foremost, be relentlessly funny.
Barely a second passes in this masterpiece without a physical moment, an aside or just something someone does with their eyes to induce absolute fits of rolling laughter. It's certainly more niche than Partridge, but is all the more enjoyable - and original - for it.
Every performance is spot on. There isn't a bum note in any episode, and there is ALWAYS something hilarious happening in every frame, so repeat viewings are a MUST!
If it clicks with you like it did with me? You'll have your new favourite TV show.
A brilliant, completely original comedy - the finest British comedy since Peep Show, and thoroughly deserving of every accolade it's received. I'm just sad it's over.
