Perfect cast and a good story

Highly Overrated But Still Good

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I flicked over to the first episode in error and started to watch. My initial reaction was 'this is awful'... but it's totally won me over. Bradley Walsk is excellent the constant one-liners are sometimes good, sometimes cringeworthy but always raise a smile. Novak is a scene-stealer with great regularity. Don't tune in to this if you don't like slapstick, stupid comedy - because that's exactly what it is. The 4th episode (Casino) had me laughing out loud. Well done to the BBC for getting this on air - although, given most reviews, I'd say this may be the one and only season :-(

At first it was difficult to know what to make of this programme but go with the flow and you soon realise it is an absolute gem. Each character is odd, but accessible and likable. Each week's story is a quirky take on a familiar theme (false identity, scam, rip off, smuggling - you get the picture) and so far it works. There could be some queasiness about the portrayal of foreigners and accents being the butt of jokes but everyone is a caricature and no one escapes parody.I really hope the BBC invests in this programme as it has a feel of a series such as 'Not Going Out' - at first not perfect but warm and quite gentle.

I loved this sitcom right from the get-go. It has got the brilliant tongue-in-cheekiness about it, just like classic sitcoms of the past. I just hope it runs and runs as it is the kind of show I can always turn to whenever I am in need of cheering up. Great stuff!All the lead roles have been filled by people who can portray their characters with insightful genius and not just appear as a two-dimension version. Some times it takes a little bravery to achieve that, but I think all the characters deserve top marks for creating characters that are funny, interesting and entertaining at the same time.And it is nice to see something set in the sun that isn't Benidorm.

This review is based on just the first episode, and overall I say so far, so good. The main character is Woody (Kayvan Novak) and he is a wise-cracking, quick on his feet character for sure. He gives us a constant stream of jokes, plays on words, insults, and so on. There are occasional clunkers mixed in, but a lot of them are amusing or even laugh out loud funny.I decided to give the show a try, however, because of Bradley Walsh, who plays Brutus. I liked Bradley on Coronation Street and Law and Order UK. This is a different sort of role for him than in both of those shows as he also has his share of rapid fire jokes. The chemistry between these two leads seems a little rough at first but I think it will work.This isn't a thinking man's comedy, but I have seen a lot of stupid comedies and this isn't one of those either. It is entertaining and will hopefully get even better as it finds its feet. Just let the clunker lines roll past you and wait for the next one. You won't have to wait long.Plus I saw on the preview for the second episode that it will feature John Savident, another much liked Coronation Street veteran, so I am already looking forward to that show.
