I feel so lonely watching this in 2016


but this is the first time I've ever seen it and the whole world already has. I must be the last person in the whole world watching this now.
First I only watched the first episode for a laugh to see what the 90's were like in London, and wanted to stop there. But then I got interested because most of it was funny so I just carried on. Even posting on this forum feels like I'm just talking to myself on a desert island. I think I need to remove myself to the Hateful Eight forum or somewhere like that to get any kind of response.

I watched it first time around in the 90's, although I was too young to watch it, really. I just watched it because my older sister loved it.
I think I might re-watch it all at some point! It's a bit of a cult classic

I loved this show when it was on BBC America in the 90's. I wish I could binge watch it now.

Being not from Britiain but from the USA, I'm curious (especially as the US, like Australia, got a large part of its heritate, when the post-Columbus settles arrived bakc east from Britian, England, bringign the British come Middle Atalntic accents, )to see it

Watched it when it first came out on BBC 2 back in the mid 90's. Was a only 14 at the time lol. I still prefer the first series to the second, once Warren leaves it isn't quite the same imo. Still strong but he was the glue that held the show together. Loved the soundtrack too, as it was during Britpop so it was right up my street. But the cast was fantastic, especially Daniela Nardini as Anna. She was the one that really was the break out star from the show once it ended. Then Andrew Lincoln Jason Hughes and Jack Davenport have overlapped her. But she was brilliant in this. Also great to see a young Martin Freeman in this.

The closet a show has come to this in my opinion after was the Aussie show The Secret Life Of Us.
