Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Although it had Peter Kay as one of the leads this comedy really did take people by surprise, and quickly became one of the biggest hits of 2015, to the point where the press and fans went crazy for its second series, and petitioned in their thousands for it to return again for a finale after Kay had said it would end on the series two cliff-hanger.It's a marvellous, simple show, that sucks you in and makes you smile and cry in equal measure.Kay and his co-star, the lovely Sian Gibson play out the stories of two people commuting to work beautifully, and their off screen friendship shines through.I cannot recommend this show highly enough.

Excellent. The BBC really can pump out some dreadful programming that places more importance on the minutia of political correctness above entertainment, nevertheless, in the case of Car Share they've allowed solid writing & performance to take centre stage; as it always should.Car Share is accessible, well written & beautifully performed; much in the same way as Detectorists - which is another BBC show.Phil Kay is wonderful in the role of John & the girl who plays Kayleigh is equally on song. Her performance really encapsulates that Greater Manchester chip-hipped Bacardi Breezer feminine chic. We witness the two central characters fall in love as they drive the roads of Greater Manchester. Shenanigans ensue - as does pis*.

A feel good, refreshing comedy.I have been a huge fan of Peter Kay since his 'Top of The Tower' stand up days, Phoenix Nights is comedy gold in my eyes and Max and Paddy was a solid spin off to that. Car Share is his latest 6 piece comedy show and it is vintage Peter Kay!Peter Kay plays a manager at a Supermarket; his company have introduced a car share scheme and Peter matches up with a woman from the promotions team.The episodes are 30 minutes each and are evenly split, the first 15 minutes are the trip to work and final 15 minutes are the return home. Pretty much the entire show is shot in the car and simply follows them on their work commute and their every day; general conversations with each episode will have a vague backdrop story, a general topic of conversation. The episodes link on loosely and give the impression that the episodes are spread out over weeks at a time as many personal situations change and their relationship develops.The on screen chemistry of Peter Kay and Sian Foulkes is completely perfect, they bounce of each other in such a way that you would see them as a married couple. They are hilarious together, their style and approach are almost identical and they complement each other faultlessly.Through all the laughs and silliness of the show, it does manager to reach out to the viewer, offering some emotional, touching moments. Even with a mere 6 episodes, the characters are developed and the chemistry of the two actors is developed very well.My negatives would be that I didn't like the musical animated scenes in the middle of the episodes. I didn't really get them at all. It was also disappointing to see that there were only 6 episodes, with the series ending in a way that I don't see a second series being made.10/10

Peter Kay has written and directed many successful British situation comedy series, from Phoenix Night to Max & Paddy's Road to Nowhere, I was hoping for something good with this new series he brought us, and he did not disappoint. Basically a major supermarket has suggested a car share scheme for the workers to save on staff parking spaces at the store. This scheme brings together John (Peter Kay), a level headed Assistant Manager, and Kayleigh (Sian Foulkes), a ditsy Promotions Rep, day by day he picks up from her house and they drive the out-of-town journey to the store they work. Each journey they fill the awkward silences with talk of their lives, current events and media, and sometimes embarrassing incidents occur on the way, and also they are accompanied along the way by the catchy and enjoyable tunes, daft competitions and repetitive adverts of Forever FM on the car radio. The action most of each half hour episode takes place in the car, only stopping to get in at the start of the journey, stop arriving at the supermarket, re-entering to go home, and stopping for drop-off, they only occasionally get out to stop along the way, but also episodes see John or Kayleigh hearing a particular song play on the radio, and they will imagine themselves in a music video scenario miming along to the song. It is obvious as well, that despite sometimes having daft disagreements and sometimes misunderstandings, John and Kayleigh become good friends in the car journeys, and both being single, John not looking and Kayleigh keeping options open, it is possible that they may have held-in feelings as well, especially by the last episode. Also starring Danny Swarsbrick as Ted 2 and Reese Shearsmith as Ray. Kay as the down-to-earth man driving with a sense of humour is very likable, and Foulkes is very talkative and slightly annoying, but at the same very lovable, together they are a perfect at first awkward but perfect couple as they talk and laugh with each other in each journey, a simple but brilliantly written and played out comedy sitcom. Very good!
