So, what did everyone think?

I have to say, I was really looking forward to watching this. I didn't think it was the best, though.
The cast ensemble was pretty strange. Just their whole demographic. I'm not a huge Katy Wix fan, but I didn't mind her in this - I quite liked the Mary character.
Stand out for me has got to be Derek. I still can't BELIEVE he's the same actor that was in Game On (showing my age there)! He had some amazing lines - "that demented *beep* and the whole "Number Threes" thing being two of my favourites. And his furtive glances in general were great.
So overall not that hilarious for a comedy, but something strangely addictive about this show and I do hope that it'll get a second series :)

I think something's missing.

not sure if it's the delivery or the editing but it just seems to be missing the magic that good sitcoms have.

I've stuck with it and slightly confused by they showed the pilot at the end? Unless I've watched it in the wrong order.

If it does get a second series hopefully everything will get a little bit slicker but it's entertained me for the odd 30 mins on my daily commute.

Yes, "something's missing" does sum it up. Glad you also enjoyed it though.

The last episode was by far my favourite. I can see how you'd think it was the pilot, but it wasn't :) If you have a look at the episode list, there was a pilot made in 2014 (which I've not been able to find). The actors playing Derek & Shontal were different and the Amara character was called Anal at that time.

This was more of a prequel, so they've shown us what happens at SFC and then they've shown us how Mary ended up there.

Not bad for mindless entertainment. Derek was my favorite too.

I like Katy Wix but it lacked laughs, for me. I watched all six and would try a series 2 if it came along. I think the comments about "something missing" are accurate.

I live in the US and I just saw this on Netflix. I LAUGHED MY "BIG 'ol dick off!" To quote Ed ! I love the humor! I'm not sure what you find "hilarious", but this did it for me. Maybe because I'm in the States.

I really enjoyed it. Just finished the whole season tonight. It's really silly and random most of the time but I like shows like that. I already feel like I got invested in the different characters. That ending was disturbing though. I wonder if they will keep with it if there is another season or just forget about it. Either way I am definitely for more episodes.
