ljgwynn-19156 If you think you have a dark sense of humour or have any sarcastic tendencies, prepare to be shocked. This is your test. Breath of fresh air. Funny when it shouldn't be. Takes serious issues and twists them to create bizarre situations that you can't help but root for and find funny...even when bizarre...ludicrous...out of this world at times! Another weekend binge watch MUST! Casting deserves a special mention - supporting cast are fantastic despite the sometimes (overall it's fabulous!) SOMETIMES slow, even stalling dialogue. A third of the first series could have been cut due to slow and unnecessary dialogue. A faster pace in future series (hopefully!) would be great! Direction and production overall great - camera crew (editors? Sorry for technical ignorance )deserve a special mention for the "putting together" which helps the overall performance and effect by at least 80% I imagine. Geniuses. In short, if you have an even slightly off centre sense of humour you need to watch this. If you don't, watch it anyway. The acting is actually superb and despite the location settings for any scene, the acting and storyline - no matter if you find it bizarre or believable, even if it seems uninteresting to you - I love the ludicrously overactive EVERYTHING personally - it all flows so well and becomes a believable and addictive addition to your life. I binged watched the first series in half a day. Mostly for "Ron"s HE WILL ALWAYS BE RON DAMMIT performance. The dude can act his bloody socks off and it was refreshing to see him in a "normal" regular bloke type character that was an actual adult who you could understand and emphasise with wether you are a man or woman. It descends into chaos granted and he gets quite lost in the madness as a person and a genuine REAL character but he still breaks free of HP and is "himself" iykwim and he does it really bloody well. Much off tangent and quite ranty at parts - sorry - lady reviewer and first or second (?) review when insomniac strikes so I need some practice. BUT I hope despite my over writing you sensible people can read through the lines and see that what I mean is it is actually genius in hiding type writing and acting and you should watch it immediately! Download it, watch it drunk, sober, tired, full from bingeing on popcorn pizza and dr pepper(or Fanta fruit twist?!) it's worth the wasted hour or three (trust me, persevere) to see a couple - or four - episodes. Top tip; if you're single it takes your mind off the post one night stand misery:lack of hooking up. If you're with someone - newer the better IMO, it's the perfect silly sitcom series to watch post coitus/early weekend brunch in bed (guys (and girls-who bother to cook, ever..avocado/mushrooms/tomato's all or some/one whatever on toast goes down well the morning after etc, meat eaters grab some streaky or not bacon or sausages and fry up a sandwich feast. Nothing helps the first series episode go down well better than a greasy or open (poncy IMO - but I love em) sandwich!) Ps. Enjoy my super long "helps you in the bathroom iykwim kinda review" no longer do you need the back of the shampoo bottle - FYI they've edited them ALL to tell you they're trying not to poison the ocean. Star my bloody ranty review. Insomnia grew this! And Ron - he will FOREVER be Ron has grown up. Don't miss watching him break free in Sick Note. This might be the last REAL sitcom you see him in before Hollywood snap him up and he morphs into a factory style same old same old actor in yet another unbelievable Diaz-UK "unknown" actor rom-com. He needs the support of the UK for the work he is doing here and now. As does, most importantly, the writers producers directors and everyone else involved in Sick Note. It has been directed/edited/produced/written/everything else that goes into it BLOODY WONDERFULLY. Watching this, at times seemed slightly CRINGE. Slightly MEH, a little OH COME ON WHATEVER AS IF a few more times than I would have liked....but it was all GOOD IN CONTEXT. The flow and feel of the whole first series at least from start to end was consistent and gripping even if it were more lighthearted than the description suggested. It is a breath of fresh air and a rather truth ISH testament in some aspects to real life in my neck of the woods (from what I've been told - except the articulate speaking - no one is that well spoken all the time in London - anywhere realistically - not just south London OR north London. (Pls no one take offence LOL) It's overall a great easy watching funny show with some great actors. It deserves more exposure. End of. Bloody watch it. Ignore most of my ranty off course CouldveBeenTenTimesShorterReviewImSorry just bloody download it and watch it! Thanks! :)

Charles Herold (cherold) While I appreciated the twisted darkness of this series, which begins with an amusing debate on necrophilia, it never clicked in for me. The cast seems generally good, but there wasn't anyone I wanted to see again. There are occasional amusing bits, but overall it's not especially funny.More than anything else, the pilot, which is all I watched and all I shall watch, was just very slow-moving. The premise would suggest something more frenetic, as things are bound to get complicated, and perhaps it picks up later on, but I just wasn't drawn in at all by this. I like the boss, who's such a terrible person, and there are a couple of very pretty women (like a lot of comedies, there is a shortage of attractive men), but that's about all I can say for it.

William Grant The people who wrote praising reviews are either a sandwich short of a picnic or have a vested interest in this shows success! But that said, writing reviews that it's good when it really isn't is just a waste of time because the script writing is just so poor, the characters by & large are just not believable ! The acting then follows suit but then when the writing is this poor what can an actor do about it ? If you have seen Extras where Andy Millman is railroaded in to changing his show in to a farce, well this is maybe what happened here ! I am amazed that SKY have picked this up to be honest. League of gentlemen was dark, Psychoville was dark ! This is just juvenile

imdb-16784-85474 I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes and am looking forward to seeing more. Its a dark witty comedy that many will like, a few may even relate to how one mishap leads to another, although I'm sure there will be those with an overly sensitive nature who will insist that you cant make a joke about a medical condition, in that case I would recommend sticking to scripted tripe like reality TV shows.Without giving any plot away, the comedy shows how telling a lie to cover up a previous lie can lead to a lot of unintended consequences, both good and bad, much of what happens is unpredictable and fresh.Rupert Grint's performance is excellent and quite believable, I'm sure more than a few people could see themselves making (mostly) the same choices when faced with similar problems. I haven't seen enough yet to comment on the rest of the cast.
