it was very amusing before but series 3 has ruined it

jonnithomas

It was amusing and covered a serious subject with some insight. It had good characterisation and some genuinely laugh out loud moments. The acting was solid without any poor performances.

well that's what it was in series 1 and 2.

then along came series 3 and what a disappointment it's been. it has degenerated into farce with comic book almost slapstick humour that just isn't funny. I could speculate about the whys and wherefores but really just feel let down by the first two episodes of series 3.

so what has changed ? the actors that are still in it are the same. it's the writing that has taken a dive. I doubt I will watch any more episodes. pity...

so in summary, watch series 1 and 2; really don't bother with series 3 unless you are twelve.

score 6/10
