A brilliantly British series and one of the early signs of Pegg and Frost's perfect partnership. Written by Pegg and Hynes, they are obviously the perfect fit for the messy couple/non-couple leads. The surrounding characters all bring their own flavour and are again perfectly cast.
The humour maybe wouldn't extend to all audiences, with frequent references to popular and 'geek' culture from the turn of the millenia, but for it's niche audience it is perfect.
A semi-structured arc across episodes, with regular callbacks, but really each episode has it's own distinct and daft plot. The quality does dip on a couple occasions but for the most part it's consistent. A very easy, enjoyable watch.
