C4 comedy series, seemed to slip through the net for me; only found it by accident when looking for something new to watch.
Starring Mitchell & Webb (Peep Show etc), neither of them exactly stretches their acting abilities with both of them playing the exact same sort of characters that they always do. Probably a good thing really, and I found series 1 to be quite a good watch with a few genuinely funny laugh out loud moments. The supporting cast all seem to be very good which helps.
New series starts this week I think, but I don't know if they'll all be available to stream in one go.
Anyone else seen this?

Saw the first series when it originally aired.
It was OK, but nothing special (nowhere near as good as 'peep show' for example).
Yes I'd agree with that, not bad but nothing special. I like a British comedy though and will watch series 2 when it's available.It was OK, but nothing special (nowhere near as good as 'peep show' for example).
Main problem with a lot of new comedies I find is that you don't really warm to them lot of the time. There might be some funny lines thrown in but you end up not really caring about the characters like you would (or I did) with Fools & Horses for example.
Watched the first episode of series 2 last night and thought it was great. The farmer gets all the best lines, not sure of the actor’s name but I’ve seen him in other stuff playing a similar role and he has it to a tee.
Just reminded me of the best moment in series 1 when he dealt with the bloke who had kidnapped the dog. Need to watch that again!

Like a few people I missed this first time, but watched series 1 over Xmas.
Very funny! Hedge Vodka.
Similar to Detectorists, in that the humour is pretty subtle rather than laugh out loud.
It’s a pleasant enough show and I’ve watched both series but it doesn’t belong in the same category as Detectorists.Very funny! Hedge Vodka.
