Wordiezett So much average

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

djstu77 This is like 2 shows in one. I would have liked to see how it had progressed if Andy Samberg had continued in the show. Series one starts off slow but by episode 3 it starts to come alive as the characters gel and you begin to care about them. The wedding episode is a classic. I binged watch this and I was excited to see how Taylor Lautner would fit in. Unbelievably he is better than Samberg. His Dale, straight from living in a cult all his life, is just superb as he discovers new things in each episode. Series 2 and 3 are brilliant but so different from series one but with all the characters you loved from series one. All supporting cast shine as well, especially Steve who tends to steal any scene he is in. I am eagerly awaiting series 4 but in the meantime reruns will just have to do.

richt76 As you do now-and-then you search for new comedy, this came top of the search: First episode, I wasn't sure, but with nothing else to do... here I am having binged on season 1. It's safely fun --too so at times-- and takes the p##s out of things that need a good dose of 'reality check' bring down to size: New age mumbo-jumbo, hipsters and others, all set amongst the generational perceptions of Generation X and their offspring. Some willy, sex and toilet jokes is a staple of UK comedy, mixed with the wacked out Californian. It works.Is it me or is Greg Davies, from facial mannerisms, voice, tone and actual comedy a large version of --the missed-- Rik Mayall?

steven-222 After watching the first episode, I wasn't sure I could watch more, not because the show was badly made, but because it was so excruciating...the subjection of hapless father Ken to the sheer madness of his various family members might just yank too many chains! But with each subsequent episode, I found the evolving relationship between Ken and his dithering, maddening son-in-law more compelling..loved it when they inadvertently took E together!..and by episode 6, I was actually quite moved by Ken's acceptance of his situation. How this happens is utterly believable (within the logic of a comedy show!) and very subtly accomplished. There is a sweetness here that transcends the surface story, acknowledging in equal parts the absurdity and the strange beauty of existence. When a comedy series achieves this level of storytelling, it may just become a classic.

George Gates ==What to expect== I dislike almost all programming on the BBC, with the exception of Horizon (and other rare occasional documentary feats). None of the current US comedy programming is really satisfactory to me either, with the exception of Saturday Night Live. If you feel similar then Cuckoo might just be the show for you.==Style== Accent-wise Cuckoo is about 1/3 American and 2/3 British with light accents and is perfectly comprehensible. The show is lightweight and upbeat, with a modern touch and starts out with a single lady and her girlfriend in Thailand, with the setting soon transitioning to the familiar UK (or is it Ireland?). There is no British humor, or any of the typical "Britishness" one comes to expect from most BBC shows.==Story== The story in the first episode revolves around the big news which the not-so-single-lady-anymore brought home to her family and the resulting struggle of coping with the new family circumstances. The story doesn't really matter much though, because the script and acting is simply consistently hilarious. I am hooked. (Episode 2 is even funnier, so the pilot wasn't just a "glitch")
