I love this series!


Hi. I just finished rewatching season 1 and 2. This series was utterly, utterly brilliant. There have been posts made here about there not being ABLE to be a third season, storyline wise. This is utter rubbish - there are plenty of ongoing threads that needed to be dealt with in a third season.

We need some how to spread the word about this wonderful series and get a third season going. The budget would not be very high in this series. about 7 actors, a writer and director and people's homes.

This show is BRULLYANT! As Rabb would say.

Super show,
criminally under appreciated while other Channel 4 garbage like The IT Crowd...and Green Wing continue to be part of the schedule.

Another series would have been nice.....but 3 then should definately have been the last series.

I can understand why you don't like Green Wing, but The IT Crowd is excellent!
Just started watching this show, and so far it's great. Really like how the characters all have different backgrounds.

I totally agree with the first poster. I remember seeing bits of both series when they came out but from what I remember it wasnt really marketed properly... Watching the whole thing I have to say it's just great, really solid from Ep 1, which is a pretty rare thing. Im sure a lot of people never bothered with it originally who would have loved it. Actually, I cant think of a single good british show like that from the last few years.

I'd imagine it's far too late for a third series to be made, but here's hoping!

Uhhhhh....Are you sure you don't have those two programmes the wrong way round?

Green Wing was great. The IT Crowd is, whilst grown on me, *beep*

The acting, the characters...not great, at all.

Never saw Green Wing...IT Crowd is really bad camp, and weak storylines, ut it is wonderful at times...more than it is not...so why I think IT Crowd is a bad show, I know it is a great show...not sur if that makes sense or not, but I like IT Crowd.

As for the Book Group I give it a shout out at every post I make. I love this show so much, it is one of the best plots and well acted shows I have ever had the honor to watch...I have have seen Ikiru.

Celsus, do yourself a favor check out the Green Wing great writing awesome cast and Michelle Gomez's character really speaks to her strengths as an actress.

reply

I see compliments of her acting all over the place. I don't get it. She's always an over-the-top caricature. Her emotions are rarely nuanced.

Idiots lol, all three are amazing!

Yes - I've always had very fond memories of this and asked for the DVDs for Christmas... Only got the first series. [Beggars can't be choosers!] But, loved every minute as much as I did when it was on tele... Rather than wait for my birthday, I've gone a bit wild and ordered the second series DVD for myself.

I just discovered this on Ovation in the States. I tuned into the episode "Suenos" and within 15 minutes was totally hooked. It's charming, intelligent, funny and a touch sad all at once. I adore it! So sorry there are only two series but I'll be ordering both DVDs ASAP!!!!

I just bought it on a friend's recommendation. Haven't seen so much as a clip of it as yet. Looking forward to it!

I just re-watched both seasons again and it still has the magic for me. So well written and so well acted by the ensemble cast. Thoroughly enjoyable stuff. A shame thy never made a third season, but I guess the cast had other projects to move on to.

reply

The positive reviews make me very curious about what kind of person finds this content enjoyable. I found it to be akin to torture.
