Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This show is one of the funniest I've ever seen, it never fails to make me laugh. I've heard it said that Americans can't understand British humor, but My Hero (along with Benny Hill, Keeping up Appearances, Open all Hours, Are you Being Served, & a couple of others) is one that I never miss. The entire cast gives their best in every episode I've seen. The actor playing "Tyler" drove me crazy trying to figure out where I had seen him before, then it suddenly came to me...he was Capt. Fredrickson in the "Sharpe's" series! the character of "Mrs. Raven" is an absolute delight to watch...reminds me of one of my late aunts. Anyway, if you haven't watched this show, I highly recommend it, just bear in mind that the whole show is a parody of the superhero genre.

Wow. If a person JUST read the IMDb scores and not the reviews, they'd have the impression that this series stinks--with a score in the 4.0 range! I don't understand this, as it is one of the better British TV shows I have seen. While it's not as great as FATHER TED (also starring Ardal O'Hanlon) and it's not especially deep, but it is very very funny and original. Perhaps as another reviewer said, the earlier episodes aren't quite as good because the show hadn't yet hit its stride, but this is common of many sit-coms. How can anyone hate a show with bizarro neighbor Tyler, cranky and evil Mrs. Raven or the self-absorbed Dr. Piers Crispin?! There must be some evil conspiracy afoot to get you NOT to watch the show--try it yourself--if you like to laugh, you'll love the show.Perhaps another problem with the show is that Ardal's O'Hanlon's previous series was so good and so perfect that in contrast some are disappointed. All I know is that it's unfair to use such harsh language about a harmless and cute show. Heck, The Donnie and Marie Show and many REALLY bad shows have more favorable comments, so there's something amiss here.

I'm sorry for the change in Thermoman. Loosing Ardal O'Hanlon has dealt a death blow to the show for me. James Dreyfus is too creepy too watch. I very much enjoyed the series up till the the change. I will keep an eye on this site & hope yet another change comes along & we get a new George Sunday. How did James Dreyfus even make the list as a possible replacement for O'Hanlon? A note to the producers of 'My Hero', PLEASE get rid of this new, gay type Thermoman. James Dreyfus seams to have brought way to much of his character with him from "The Thin Blue Line"(only other thing I've seen him in). Good luck to the rest of the cast in keeping the show afloat.

After sifting through these comments I would like to add my own. I think this show is one of the best I've seen around in years. It is a very funny show and above all, enjoyable. I'm not a big fan of TV - but I will definately sit down to watch this.The actors and actress' who star in this show play their parts to perfection and make the show very believable.And for the people who have posted the negative comments, I'd like to say - you are entitled to your opinion, but, in all honesty - if this show is as bad as you make it out to be and you think the actors and actress' dont play their parts well, then you need your head examined because, at the end of the day, if this were true, they wouldn't be as successful as they are.
