User reviews

Reading the reviews on here I expected absolute garbage, surprisingly it's quite good. Light hearted and daft but worth a watch.

I really like this sitcom. Easy to watch and definitely has legs. Sometimes it's nice to watch something that isn't too heavy. We need more decent UK sitcoms like this.

I enjoyed this! I do understand SOME of the criticism but I thought it was entertaining and funny and Schwimmer was great - his physical and facial comedy is still properly funny. Good show and easy to watch, give it a go

I thought the guy from friends was well cast and at times funny. the humor is ok if you can take red dwarf and it crowd type humor. no, its not close to those show in chemistry and situations. but im glad it exist / hopefully same format wt maybe more episodes in s02.

I work for local authority which is every bit as farcical as the comedy in this series. It is delightfully funny and I highly recommend it!

I was bored the first 5 mins until ross from friends turned up tthen became very funny. They could have done a better job on the other actors casting. What were they thinking.

I was really dubious about watching this, but I haven't stopped laughing at it! One of the few things I have laughed out loud in a long time.

Give it a shot ,schwimmer is no doubt the reason I watch this there are some laugh out loud moments.

How did this even get into production? It's really not good. I realise it's supposed to be a comedy so are we supposed to be amused at how bad it actually is? The references to the 'Office' are ridiculous it doesn't even come close although it tries sometimes unless they mean the US version which does have it's own admirers.

Those that have written it's 'funny' must have an American sense of humour because the humour is pathetic slapstick and the English mostly prefer more intelligent comedy. It's certainly not for me.

I don't get all the bad reviews on here, I expected to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised by this and glad there might be a second series. We binged watched the whole series and there were definitely some laugh out loud moments throughout.

This show makes me laugh out loud more than any I can think of. It's not the best show, it doesn't have much depth, but it's definitely worth a watch if you like comedy.

It's honestly quite good. Give it a chance. The writing is good and DS is good what more do you want!

Very funny and I was sceptical as it is a Sky production but I really enjoyed this. Deserves more than a 5.5!

Recasting needs to be considered but all in all schwimmer and Mohammed make a good team.

Funny in parts, but overall it's a bit of a borefest! Shame really, I had high expectations for this show

We just finished watching this series and loved it. I don't understand all of the low reviews?! It has so many laugh out loud moments. David Schwimmer and Nick Mohammed's odd friendship is hilarious. My only wish is that the episodes were a bit longer. I'm really looking forward to the second series.

Enjoyable fun, there are worst ways to spend 30 minutes of your life. Nice to see David Schwimmer being funny again. Roll on series 2.

13 minutes in and I bailed! I just didn't think it was funny!

Such a funny programme. Clearly the style of humour is not to everyone's taste based on some of the scores, but if you're usually a fan of subtle dry British humour, think The Office (UK version) and This Country, then you will almost certainly enjoy it. Even more so if you're also a fan of David Schwimmer. He is absolutely brilliant in this, with some of his classic physical comedy traits thrown in with the brilliant script and excellent characters. I also like the way they've played around with different camera angles including candid CCTV stuff, and the snappy editing and quirky soundtrack adds to the appeal.

Very subtle. Not laught out loud. Likeable cast... really enjoyed series 1.

This is probably the worst thing I've seen in years. Every character is made out to be a fool. Take the worst role you seen David Schwimmer in and multiply by ten. There are no plots. Just a constant barrage of irrational statements made by Schwimmer. I can't believe someone paid to make this trash.

Very few comedies catch me bursting out laughing and hoping to remember certain lines. . Way funnier than in Friends, which I never took to anyways. The recipe is grand with the zany supporting cast and their interactions. It has the flavour of Canadian comedy.

5.7 rating is too low. I'm only on episode 3 and I'm pretty sure there are much much worse shows out there. You guys expect David to be like Ross in everything he's in lol. The show is not super funny and I'm sure not all of you will find it appealing but give it a try. I really like how they do the security camera footage bit. It's fun and different. Anyway, it's good.
