Advantages: Daniella Denby Ashe's pout.

Disadvantages: American style of comedy, UnBritish, everything else

I did not like this show at all.

The problems are as follows:

It is written by an American and therefore is not proper British humour. This just makes the show seem odd; British people behaving like Americans, trading oneliners, put downs, in the manner of american sitcoms.

It is patronising.

The characters are not interesting or realistic. They rely on stereotypes.

It is not funny.

To the reviewer who wants real British comedy try One Foot in the Grave, Rising Damp, Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.

We are simply not like Americans and don't suit their humour at all.

Bit more background would have made this useful, hence my rating.
