Having never seen the original I have no expectations going into this show and never even knew it was coming out, so it was a nice surprise to see this available.
Right from the hop it jumps right into it without a boring and long prelude to introduce setting and characters.
The pacing is excellent with this show as is the set design, costumes and acting.
Every actor in this show brings their A game and even the 8 year old bartender character in the show is played amazingly.
Another reviewer called the show immature and bad basically ;but this couldn't be further from the truth, this show is up there with all the best of the newer generation of British comedy gold like The IT Crowd, Year Of The Rabbit, Dirk Gently and others like that.
If you're expecting some big budget blockbuster or to relive some part of your childhood then you'll probably just set yourself up for disappointment as this show isn't trying to be either of those things it wants to be it's own thing and deserves to be approached like that.
