Featured review
Like i said in the summary, if you know a lot about 1980s British pop culture, you will love this show.But if you don't, you will not get most of the jokes.They constantly reference British celebrities that no one outside of Britain has ever heard of and never will unless they research them just because of this show.That being said, this show is still much better than Bottom.The first episode is about killing milkmen and it set the bar very high.A bar that they would frequently duck under for the rest of the series, while still managing to be better than most shows.Of course, only having one series changes how people feel about a show.I'm sure if they ran this into the ground like they did with Bottom, it would've ended up being terrible.Give this a shot(at least the first episode), you just might like it.
