You might watch the first episode of this and be forgiven for thinking it's a simplistic slapstick comedy that doesn't seem to work - but you'd be wrong.

There's a lot to turn you off in this series if your previous idea of comedy is Friends or The Big Bang Theory - not that there's anything wrong with those choices, it's just that if that is your taste, this may a long long long way away from that style.

There is a great deal of thought and side angles to this humour. It's well written, very well acted and packed with ridiculously mad character interaction - non of which I'll cover here for to do so would spoil it for those few who will go on to enjoy this short series. And those characters are fabulous. Each with their own dire flaws and foibles and each acted to perfection.

I urge you to try this series and understand that only ten percent of the people who do will be glad they did. But for those ten percent who's humour this fits with, they'll be forever grateful.

Enjoy.
