Episodes

This premiered on UK television last night. I thought there was a lot of dry British humour in there, and that would appeal to a British, rather than American audience.

However there was also the great visual/cultural gag of replacing Richard Griffiths with Matt Le Blanc. And the unintended visual/cultural gag of Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig's Americanised haircuts: effectively the same as their British haircuts but now designer scruffy as opposed to just-got-out-of-bed.

I'll definitely be watching next week.

This is getting bad reviews over here.

It seems to be (giving them the benefit of the doubt) exploring where comedy stops and cringe starts - rather like a certain presenter at a recent awards ceremony.
