I've just finished the first season after a complete binge. I love Rupert Grint. I love Nick Frost. And the two together have such incredible chemistry, rapport and comic timing that it's just a toe cringing, drink snorting, belly laugh inducing joy to watch.
The supporting characters are also great in their overwhelming absurdity of nuances and stereotypes that make up this show. But it pulls it off. It does not remotely take itself too seriously, which is why it's so enjoyable. It embraces the madness and surrealism with flair and humour.
It's been a long time since I've been so gripped, entertained and pleasantly surprised by a show.
I haven't even started the second season yet, though I will immediately after leaving this review, but I just know that 8 more episodes won't be enough for me. Here's hoping for a third season!
