Stephen Mangan is very talented and funny, and I had hoped this show would utilize his skills. It did not. The subject matter is more awkward and stressful to watch than funny. The director/creator David Cross is also generally funny in an off the wall kind of way but this show seems out of character for him. I like a little heightened tension in TV series but not from the start to the end of each episode.

Struggling to make sense of this programme, the main character is so hideous and twisted it over shadows any humour that may exist in this show. Poorly thought out and poorly delivered.

Guess people are to used to having a story handed to them, might explain others giving bad reviews I had downloaded this and just got round to watching and ended up watching it all in one hit and loved it. I like the quirky idea and the way it was done in such a manic manner. I just hope there is a series 2

If I could give this load of tosh a minus rating I would. In Australia we are being given half-hour episodes. I watched the first half hour and was seriously thinking about turning off, but kept going in the vain hope it would get better. It didn't. I gave the second half hour a go, against my better judgement, and gave up after ten minutes.This is not a comedy, the jokes are stale and flat, and the subject matter demands a strong family drama. It could have been so much more, so much better. Mangan's dithery male act is beyond annoying, as is that dreadful floppy hairdo. How either of his women managed to stay with "Andrew" for more than five minutes is something I kept wondering about. He's one of the most annoying characters ever created.Take my advice - don't waste your time.
