I really enjoy black humour and this show satisfied me immensely. From the alpha male bullshit to the alpha male carnage, I was entertained from go to wo. It is a bit slasher, a bit cerebral, a bit python - what more could you ask for. I only hope they continue the story with another instalment.

We watched this 3-part series yesterday on BBC Canada and found it incredibly putrid compared with the great TV that we normally associate with the UK. In addition to what earlier reviewers have said about the inconsistencies, (spoiler alert) what was Cosmo's motivation in turning on the gas jets in the crofter's home if he wasn't the killer? Why didn't the crofter alert the authorities when he found the body hanging upside down in his home - and why did the killer put it there in the first place? And how was it this band of yobs could wander around the highlands for so long without encountering anyone else? Incredible.Only gave it a 3 (rather than a 1) because the acting wasn't half bad given the ridiculous plot.

Stag is a fantastic mini-series. It's got good acting-, good- dialogue, good-(dark) humour. It's great. But, the last episode was a bit of a, how do I say this? Downfall.A lot of things didn't really make sense. I mean, the scene where Johnners is about to shoot the moss-covered, murderous psychopath, Ledge yells "SHOOT!" And Johnners gets shot in the leg. And NO ONE seems to question why the moss-covered, murderous psychopath who shows no mercy, shot Johnners in the leg? At fairly close range?Then we get to who the moss-covered, murderous psychopath is (and the clichés). To be honest, I didn't really mind who it was, I just wanted it to be someone within the Stag Party. And it was... sort of.I basically counted two clichés. I know that's not a very big number and I know that every movie, TV and mini-series has clichés, but it's always nice to point them out:1: Sophie (our moss-covered, murderous you get the picture) let's Ian go and and makes the deal of pretending that they never saw each other. Question: Why is she doing that? I mean, sure, he was telling her how Johnners betrayed Fran (Ian's sister and Johnners wife-to- be) and how he might betray her, too, but why believe him? I mean, he'll say anything to survive and get away from her. So why trust him? Because he's short?2: The death of Johnners. Well, not his death, exactly, just the fact that Sophie was doing it. Ian places a bag over his head, Sophie comes in (carrying total silence) and hey-ho-what do you know, Johnners starts talking badly about her. Sophie gets angry, lets Ian go and puts Johnners through a meat-mincer. And that my friends, is a giant cliché I hate seeing. Not the meat-mincer part, the 'talking badly about me ally' part.Anyway, I don't want to bang on but, hey, it is a review. Oh, and if you were to ask me which death was my favourite? Cosmo's. That was beautiful. Sad and bloody and scary but, beautiful. Okay, now I'm starting to sound weird. Sorry.

Pretty good mini-series, might have worked better as a movie. It is very similar to movies like 'doghouse' and 'severence'It is listed as a comedy but is more like a cabin in the woods type dark comedy/slasher/horror than an actually comedy, i think its perhaps mislabeled as the only comedy involved is where drunk and high middle aged men get killed by doing stupid things.The acting is overall quite good, with quite a few recognisable faces in there (atleast enough for me to wonder where i knew the person from and go to IMDb to find out)8/10 looking forward to the next episode
