This show is now one of my favorites. It keeps me entertained like Mr. Bean and the 3 stooges have been doing for many years. This show isn't for everyone. But for those who enjoy laughing at other peoples troubles, this is your show. Poor Mr. Pompidou gets into some wacky circumstances throughout the series. For those who have seen some of Matt Lucas's previous acting, they can appreciate his talents. Every time I see him in Little Britain, all I can think about is Benny Hill. I too find the low rating for this show troubling. But like I said earlier, it isn't for everyone. The only way to find out is to watch it for yourself. And it is also pretty 'kid friendly'. My 13 year old son just loves it. Give it a try. And thank you Matt Lucas!

I've been an avid IMDb.com reader for years and years; I check the app almost every day, but have never registered as a user. I usually don't register for anything online.This show was so bad that, that I created this account just to write a review; I feel like I have warn possible future viewers. THAT BAD.I am a big Mark Lucas and Little Britain fan, and was definitely excited to see his new show. There are certain standards Mark and his fellow script writers and actors have made for their shows and comedic material, so I had faith that even if it was no Little Britain, that I would've discovered a funny little new show...I watched the 1st episode in it's entirety, hoping it would get better, but it went absolutely nowhere. The same with the second episode. NOWHERE. I was sitting through it going, "There's a half hour left of this? This."This saddens me. Did he, the writers and all people involved actually think this was good? That this was funny? I actually am in shock with how bad it is. I am sad.I'm going to give it another chance and watch a few more episodes... but seriously, I'm blown away by the absolute lack of comedy in this COMEDY. I don't know if I'll be able to get through it.So sad.

If you like quirky, this show is for you. It's rather over the top, but also quite inventive.A disgraced Lord Pompidou, his butler and his dog live in a sublime mashup of 'caravans' (known as travel trailers here in the US), and scheme daily to get back their glory, or at least get something to eat.Eliminating most speaking, I think, brings out Matt's acting talents as he ends up 'showing, not telling' most of the time.The dog really completes the piece, and is very well done, with a large collection of expressions while still retaining essential dogness. I puzzled over it a bit before I was sure it was a puppet; it's that good.I will have to warn the prospective watcher of this show: nothing really makes any sense. It is subtle slapstick of a really new kind, which is pretty rare on television these days and I, personally, applaud Netflix for putting this sort of show on.

I believe its a great clean- cut comedy that thinks outside the box. The whole point of comedy is to make original raw episodes that grab the watcher. I used to love Mr. Bean when I was a kid, note I"m saying kid. This means Pompidou not only captures and older audience but younger one too. I'm so sick of the new up to date comedy thats about sex and money. The whole point of this show I think is to laugh and to keep laughing at stupid silly sayings that stick in your head. I catch myself using some just for kicks. I think the producer is brilliant and the writer really gets a new form of comedy one that a lot of others have tried to get. Pompidou is the new clean cut silly adventure comedy. Please consider that just because the majority are a money grubbing sex appeal kind of audience not all of us are. I'm a very homely yet family man. Me and my wife enjoy clean comedy that we can share together. I hope you consider doing more episodes. Thanks for the six that I get to enjoy with my family..
