Watchseries; All the men are stuttering, groveling, sniveling buffoons. With the exception, of course, of the black guy, around whom all the men become even greater sniveling, groveling, stuttering buffoons.
All the women are competent, intelligent and strong. Exasperated that they're surrounded by ridiculous men.
The occasional "level boss" type character will appear who is, of course, either a woman or a POC. This character will be strong, direct, well spoken and intimidating. This is usually nothing but an opportunity to humiliate and insult the men.

The Curse watchseries. Too often recently British comedy on TV has been quite shocking.
However this has upped the ante.
Dark, funny and everything in between.
For some reason it reminded me of white gold.
In the words of Alan partridge "give me a second series "
Standard cringe/awkward comedy that was fresh 15 years ago. You know what I mean...in the middle of a very tense situation everyone is awkwardly arguing about some trivial, pedantic detail. Wow, hilarious.
Overlayed on top of a standard heist plot from 90s movies complete with the catchy music montages, split screens, horizontal and vertical wipes and dissolves. It's all pretty cliche.
This reunites 3 of the cast from People just do nothing which means it should be good, along with Tom Davies who I find quite funny.
I'm 2 episodes in and whilst not amazing it's ok.
I'd place it in the category of 'easy to watch when you can't find anything else on' and sometimes this isn't a bad thing as it speeds along quite nicely and has given me one or two laughs.
Let's see what happens in the next 4 episodes.
Another so called British comedy where the comedy is so well hidden you have to check the internet to confirm it was a comedy. Loved 'King Gary' so when Tom Davis was pushing this I was quite looking forward to it. There seems to be a worrying trend nowadays that having inanely stupid characters makes for quality comedy. This joins painfully poor comedies like 'People Just Do Nothing' and 'Stath Lets Flats' so will probably end up winning a BAFTA. Perhaps there really are pathetically weak people like Albert down South but I doubt it. As the softies would say 'What a melt'.
Probably with The Guardian. I don't know why I haven't learnt yet. If they give anything a glorious review, it's going to be poor. Really poor. Once again, no exception here. What was it they liked? Ah, yes. The assistant detective character.
Everthing is out of time, the clothes, the cars, the music, the behaviour. Add a completely unbelievable scenario and cast, and you'll wonder why you ever thought it might pick up in the later episodes.
