Man Down

_Man Down_ is absurdist humor at its finest. Improbable characters living out ordinary lives in very unordinary fashion. Watching the show makes one's brain scream things like: "Why doesn't Brian find a new group of friends?" "How could Emma possibly have...., one couldn't imaginably get that drunk/desperate/whatever?" "Why hasn't Jo died from accidentally drinking bleach or some other life hazard?" And yet in the world of _Man Down_, all these improbabilities are in alignment to create a lively comedy that will keep you on your toes and in stitches. There's even a heavy dose of dysfunctional tenderness to comfort through all the disrespect and inappropriate behavior. Bird attacks were never funnier.

I thought this was a great show, especially the episodes involving Dominic (Ramon Tikaram), so much so that I wish there were a Dominic spin-off of some sort. So sad that Rik Mayall passed away, often wonder what the show would be like had they been able to go in the direction of playing Rik's character up more as originally planned. Aunt Nesta (Stephanie Cole) was a great addition however.

There is nothing to say except this show is brilliant! It's so well written and the acting is amazing! I have watched each episode so many times now it's crazy. I am desperate for a 5th series because it's the greatest thing on tv. Please please BBC realize what a brilliant gem you have here and commission 10 more seas9ns of the show NOW. There is nothing as good on tv so to not keep this going would be a very stupid mistake. Thank you to Greg Davies for making me laugh so hard I pee!

Quirky, a little out there, and weird characters that grow on you. A nice change of comedy where you can't predict the episode or action or dialogue. Sound track and music is pretty cool

A must see and will cheer you up even if you're stringing up a rope. Fantastic casting and full of little subtleties in the background.

Greg Davies at his very best.
