Sick of It

[Halb]

New comedy by Karl PIlkington, from the trailers, it looks pretty funny.

out on the 27th

[Halb]

Tomorrow, it's come round quick, I like the trailers.

[Halb]

I think all the best bits were in th trailer

at least I didn't go to the flicks and spend a tenner

[DaveGrohl]

Watched it last night, had been looking forward to it. First ep was pretty dull, not sure I can be @rsed to give it another chance.

[vixen1700]

A few laughs, but not all that really.

Went ok till it got silly with the sofa...

Pretty strange programme.

I'll keep watching it but won't be desperately waiting for the next episode!

[Flumpo]

I gave it a go but wasn’t paying much attention. I got up to get something and when I came back I thought he was playing brothers.

But I guessed after a while one of them is meant to also be him? I couldn’t be bothered trying to figure it out and turned it off.

Is it worth giving it another go?

[Philplop]

Haven’t seen the programme, but I saw a clip of him being interviewed about it and he asked people to at least watch two before they give up on it as the first one is a bit slow as it had a lot of setting the story.

I dunno - the line "You'v e basically taken your sofa out for a walk" was genius

That was my favourite line.

The 'singalong' in the car in ep three is fab.

Not seen it, but this does sound familiar.!

[Halb]

It's OK, it's easy watching to have on in thebackground, a mid range britcom.

Hated the singalong bit, it seemed very old.

[WolfieBot]

Episodes 3 and 4 were better than the first two. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I'm going to buck the trend here, I'm really enjoying it. Quite a few lough out loud moments with some very cleverly written pieces, with the key here being how Karl superbly delivers them.

Perhaps It's because I'm a miserable bd who can relate a lot to the character's dislike of people etc, but in a world where dogste such as Mrs Brown's Boys gets comedy airtime, I think this is quite refreshing.

I liken it to 15 Storeys High, which was also very well written, very subtle, but very well delivered by the centre actor(s).

[Halb]

I came across 15 Storeys High around 15 years after it had aired. It was on Gold, I thought it was new(ish), it was hilarious, loved it.
Sick of It has it's moment...I think I had just built it up from my expectations of Karl and the trailer. From loving; Derek, Hello Ladies, and his travelogue shows.
I do like the central conceit

[98elise]

I wanted to hate it....but thought it was worth watching.

[toastybase]

I used to go to school with Karl and I’m glad to see him doing so well.

We used to skip school a lot and play footie in the park

[anonymous-user]

Pissed myself when he was doing the car tune thing, very funny expressions.

Its not a constant laugh a minute, which makes it all the better.

Karl isnt al pachino levels of acting, but good enough for what it is.
