Greg Davies is on scintillating form.
Not sure what I expected, but not , I realise, these charming little vignettes.
Definitely a different vibe to the German original, love the little details like keeping the company name and Greg is a legend which kinda makes it all okay, he definitely is THE guy for the job
Can't keep up with the German original, unfortunately, even though I like Greg Davies a lot.
Watchable, if nowt special. Greg Davies is good value throughout and the guest stars are all worthy enough, even if some characters (and episodes) do go through the motions a fair bit - especially season 2. However, as long as it remains at 6x30mins, I'll here for it. I notice the German original got 7 seasons, I doubt this British version will get that - I guess it's ratings-dependant, but I do wonder if it'll get a season 3 over here. Time will tell!
The first season was quite decent but the second one was mostly weird. What a shame.
[Movistar+] It benefits from agile dialogues and Greg Davies' capacity for self-parody, especially in the episode with Jo Hartley. But it also has a lot to question about certain absurdities of our society, a type of sarcastic comedy that is based on funny dialogues between two characters and that wins when the special guest stands out, like Stephanie Colie and, of course, David Mitchell.
Just great. Sometimes it is poniant.
