Hamster Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I know he's not everyones cup of tea but I quite like pretty much everything he's done and having just binge watched the first three episodes of the above would highly recommend it. Dark subject but lots of witty dialogue with humour and very cleverly written some subtle bits of genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Can't stand the bloke... But this is absolutely brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 It's just so good on so many different levels as they say, truly outstanding writing with good acting all round especially Ricky himself. Constantly takes you from sad to happy to laughing and back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPP Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I don’t like the fella, but beer sprayed out of my nose from one side of the room to the other at a particular moment in the first episode 😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddoakley Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Quick Google to see what it was and it's an absolute no! from me. Can't stand the guy or anything he does. Never liked any of his stuff and when I saw an interview where he genuinely said, without any attempt to make a joke of it "it's not my problem if people are not clever enough to understand my genious" that was the end. Add in his ridiculous take on hunting of any kind and I just cannot bare to listen to him. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I'm with Edd on this one - find his work about as funny and appealing as bad toothache. As to being genius, Emperors new cloths springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I'm with the last two posters. I'm sure it's funny, but I can't bring myself to doing anything (and that would be watching in this case) that would further the guys success. Just as I won't buy anything from Richer Sounds, or Lush, or Body Shop..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd As Ive said above, i cant stand the bloke, hes a condescending , annoying man, with a superiority complex, exactly the person he plays in this production, a production he wrote and directed himself. Without giving too much away, its amazing drama/comedy, its not 'what you think , ' its very 'human' , sad , ridiculously funny in places, but above all, it makes you think...about everything, life, love, death, human nature and loneliness, it will win bucket loads of awards for the whole cast, who all play such amazing parts. Ive not gushed about a program like, ever ! Dont cut off your nose to spite your face, watch it , youll thank me. 2 minutes ago, Piebob said: I'm with the last two posters.

But if you can learn something from it, then you will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilts#Dave Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Like or loathe him, it’s a great watch and really well written in my opinion. I’m a fan of his work so maybe a little biased, but he does have a ‘style’ of production that some may not like as they’re all very ‘him’. I don’t agree with some of his ideas outside tv mind, he’s massively overly opinionated on the subject of hunting/shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 He IS a genius, the massive success of The Office which got adapted and produced in the US, his stand up tours are a sell out, his movies have invariably drawn critical acclaim, this latest offering is outasight fab, why do people have trouble giving credit where it's due !? Not liking him isn't quite a valid reason ! Yes of course he has character flaws like his sense of self importance (I hope people do realise at least some of it is a deliberate act), his stance against hunting doesn't automatically mean everything he says/does is wrong.
