It astounds me how writing of such poor quality continues to be commissioned. The concept is more suitable to brief sketches in a comedy show and that's where it should have ended. The ideas are stretched so thin it is almost transparent. The actors try hard but have no chance of rescuing it. There must be writers with better ideas out there. It's lazy commissioning. Upstart Crow makes this look like amateur writing. You know it's not going to be great when they fall back on using the F word - alot. It feels like it was written by a couple of school boys who think swearing and being a bit silly is funny. Well it isn't. It will probably still get a second series. I won't be watching.
