Third Episode - Hostage Crisis


The third episode was definitely the best one so far.

As someone who loves 90's sitcoms and "very special" episodes, I like when a show can properly blend dramatic storylines with laughs and they did that here with the captivity. I kind of wish they saved the unintentionally homophobic Al subplot for another episode as they could have given us so much more with that.

Yeah its hard to know when to laugh sometimes. Its like there's a joke and whilst you're recovering from it they hit you with genuine tragedy about the people they care for. Its odd but you can't beat the onscreen talent. And the writing talent too.

I hope this at least gets another series coz channel 4 destroys its comedies with the pitiful 22mins running time so they have to edit down their show and get rid of (probably) just as good material that was left in!

Channel 4 has commissioned a 2nd series.
