This show had such a build up to the sixth episode. There was no strong story driving it but playing on known themes and a building humor throughout the series had me in stitches by the end. I haven't laughed that hard in years probably. I still have a headache from laughing. At the very least anyone who enjoyed Sean Bean in Lord of the Rjngs will get some enjoyment out of it. I hope people can give this show a chance in time and bring it back. I signed up here just to review this show.
... View MoreHaving spent the last part of the 90's in the UK including some dabbling in the drug culture, well, I really relate to this show and think it is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It's not"stoner" comedy because they don't just get stoned. In fact a lot of it is straight with the interaction of the "waster" characters just doing and saying stupid waster things. In other words, it's mint. Kind of a modern day cheech and chong set in a small British village with four friends and Sean Bean as his GOT character playing Morpheus' subconscious. Obviously innit! Childish? maybe. Funny? I certainly think so. Please make another season.
... View MoreHad read a few bits about this and wasn't sure I'd like it but I took the plunge and it had me creasing up all the time. Writing really funny. Directed and edited really well. Loved all the cast. Especially Sean Bean and Morpheus. Morpheus steals the show because you kind of feel for him . thought the acting was great, slightly heightened but genuine and funny. It's like Spaced crossed with inbetweeners. Favourite episode was the Berryman and the last EP. All the game of thrones references were superb. Hopefully they get to do another series. It definitely deserves another run. Hope Sean Bean comes back too. Top marks to all involved
... View MoreTake the west country accents from Hot Fuzz, the slacker camaraderie of spaced and the pub culture of Wright's trilogy and spaced, then add the super imposed sound effects and camera cuts juxtaposed with mundane actions that Wright's famous for, and a whole mess of other tropes from Wright's works, now imagine all this devoid of any humor and you have Wasted.The show is an insult to Wright who it steals from without adding anything to the formula and it's an insult to the audience as the show is just the window dressing of Wrights work without any thought gone into the comedy, it's all style and no substance and it's completely jarring for it.
