Saunders and Serafinowicz have created a superb comedy series. This series has excellent direction, cinematography, writing, soundtrack and acting. The entire cast delivers perfectly timed comedic performances. In particular Grint, Frost, Johnson and even Lohan stand out. Johnson has never been as funny. His facial expressions, gesticulations and vulgar dialogue are hilarious. The plot revolves around Daniel Glass who is the proverbial down and out average joe who is also a compulsive liar, the most incompetent oncologist on earth Dr. Iain Glennis and a somewhat accidental death involving both characters. Dan is diagnosed with cancer by Dr. Glennis then revels in the sympathy and a new enthusiasm towards life. Soon afterwards Dan finds out he was misdiagnosed. While this is happening an accidental death occurs due to infidelity involving Dan's best friend. Dr. Glennis attempts to assist Dan in covering the situation up. This ignites a web of lies upon lies upon lies. Dan is ultimately forced to come clean with everything and go back to his monotonous life or to keep the ruse running. The plot is clever, witty, duplicitous, intelligent, insightful and is hilarious at times. This is a binge worthy series and substantial in it's genre.
