I had high hopes for this, but then I heard Stephen Graham say he wanted to do something funny again..

... it’s not what I expected, but I did laugh.

Stick with it - I through it was dire to start with, but ended up enjoying it.

They have obviously thrown quite a bit of money at.

Just giving this a watch, 10 mins in.

Erm, this is awful is my current reaction.

It reminds me of that series Johnny Vaughn did called orrible.

But is it so orrible it’s funny?!

Absolute load of ste, it’s Just not funny.

Tried 3 episodes, never laughed once.

I heard Stephen Graham was ‘forced’ into it by his wife since he had done too many serious/peado type rolls and needed a change.

This shouldn’t have been it.

He was on the one show the other week and he said he isn’t a very strong reader. So his wife reads all the scripts and picks what he does and doesn’t do. Maybe she genuinely has a rubbish sense of humour and thought it was hilarious.

it is awful though, the bit where he gets run over and the car makes a pwaaang noise like a cartoon. The bit where the chief policewoman has to double check 3 points make a triangle. Or why the worlds first robocop gets put on fly tipping.

I think I might see if the detectives from the 90s is available online instead.

Truth be told there are a few funny moments - but not enough for a comedy

Mostly appalling. Glad there is no laughter track to pretend it’s hilarious

To be fair I watched the whole of 404, I’ve never been able to see more than 5 mins of mrs b.
