Avenue 5

Just spotted this SF comedy, starting on Sky tomorrow.

Looks promising in theory - created by Armando Iannucci and cast names I recognise are Hugh Laurie, Rebecca Front, Zach Woods (Jared from Silicon Valley) and Lenora Crichlow (Being Human).

Watched the first episode. Not taken with it yet. Will give it another episode or two to get going and see

Me neither, thought it was just a bit silly rather than funny

[irocfan]

been looking forward to this so may give it a spin tonight, don't mind silly to a point (I enjoyed The Orville), just hope it's not too OTT

Well, it was good enough to keep me interested to see the next one.

Btw, did anyone hear the continuity announcer after the show?

I paraphrase, but she said something along the lines of ...

"You'll have to wait for another week for the next episode, but if you think of that in terms of light years, it's not very long."

'The Thick of it', it ain't.

Chuckled a couple of times so will stick with it for now.

Thought it was awful.

My take away from it was that Rebecca Front's American accent was more convincing than Hugh Laurie's, although... spoiler...spoiler...spoiler.

I assumed this had been cancelled with the rather abrupt way the first series ended, but I see it's now back for a second series on Sky.

First series was just about watchable.

The second series is unmitigated st.

House and thick of it were two of favourite shows once upon a time so was exited for this.

I think I gave up episode three.

Might pick it up again if there is a s2

Even if rubbish at least there is volume

I remember this from ages ago. Was ste but this time I’m hooked.

Will smith produced this bullst!

Also bonus points for being at the McLaren Tech Centre??

Josh bad plays his part well. Enough to not give a single fk and get paid,I’ve like his C E Oh character. Laurie must be short of a few quid.

I’ve made it to episode 7 in S1 this far.
