... View MoreI 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 :-(
... View MoreAt 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.
... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreI know many others seem to knock this show, and I understand that if what your after is sophisticated comedy, then you're really looking in the wrong place. I started watching SunTrap at about 1am on iPlayer one day and was genuinely expecting it to annoy me. I'm glad to say I was truly proved wrong, so after watching the second episode too, I showed it to my mum this evening and midway through the first episode my brother came down and ended up being captivated with it too and watched the second episode with us - this has never happened with anything.If a program can bring an 18 year old girl, a miserable 20 year old and our mum all to it laughing our heads off; I don't care what others say, it's a fantastic show.
