Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

gaykathleen I thought oh nice British comedy it will be great. But not to my way of thinking. Where is the story? Jokes, jokes and more jokes. We gave up after 20 minutes as to us it was not entertainment. I love British drama and suspense but this show is just not for me. My husband was even more annoyed with it than I was. Saving graces? Some talent obviously but lack of any plot or storyline does not grab my attention. I need to have a story about a patient or a doctor solving a medical dilemma with some humour but not silly jokes and not getting anywhere with development of plot or character. Mind you, we gave it 20 minutes and then groaned.

efnijboer For me Green Wing is the best comedy series I have ever seen. The first episode introduces you to the characters and already fun to watch. After that every episode is a full hour packed with the best absurd humor you'll ever seen. It is almost as if every scene is a sketch on its own that is also contributing to the storyline. It is really an extremely clever masterpiece. Also, getting to know the characters helps make the scenes and jokes even more fun. It also is fast paced with really great music leading you out and into scenes and having you laughing and out of breath in no time. There is seriously little time between hilarious scene, situations and jokes that rapidly follow each other up for each full episode. Really a must see series. Dutch readers who like "Toren C" will also really enjoy this series.Not convinced? Just look up "Alan Statham makes a coffee" and watch this scene to determine in less than 2 minutes if this is the series for you. Enjoy!

James Morris Amazing, Brilliant, Fantastic...Have I gone over the top with my praise? I think not, GREEN WING is simply one of, if not the best comedy series to come out of the UK in the last 10 years! The rest of the world, you don't know what your missing! I would "Set the Scene" for you, but no doubt this has been done already, so ill go onto my personal thoughts! Overshadowed so much by other shows, the first series, although very successful didn't get as much hype as I thought it would although it was utter genius! A sketch show come drama come regular sitcom, I don't remember seeing a more original series. It did take a bit of getting into, the fast pace and constant flashing between scenes did irritate a little at first, but once you get used to them you realise that this makes the show more original and doesn't spoil the action at all.The writing and directing is second to none but the 99.9% of the praise has to go to the cast. Although a bit of a Mix and Match from other sitcoms and shows, this doesn't affect it at all and you are used to the quite famous cast in their new roles by the end of episode one and you will be left wondering if every role was written for every actor.Although the entire cast is top notch the best things about this show is the wonderful Michelle Gomez, who's role of Sue White is the best comedy character I have ever seen. Her performances are flawless bordering on psychosis from one minute and Normal (well as normal as Sue Gets) the next. I find myself laughing before she has done anything and if she just stood there the audience would be in hysterics. Mark Heap as Dr Alan Statham is a close second but when paired with Pippa Haywood's Joanna Clore is rite up there with Gomez. Simply brilliant! With the impending release of Season 2 on DVD, I can finally relive all these glorious episodes over and over again. Judging by the viewings my Season 1 collection has got (About 5 I think now); I will certainly be getting my monies worth! If you have never seen this show, SEE IT! I give you my word you will not be disappointed!

glilley Each to his own I suppose. i have been watching the first series on DVD and though I find it quite funny at times some of the absurd mugging that goes on at times really makes me cringe. This is so over the top it makes Little Britain look like Oscar Wilde. I'm thinking particularly of Michelle Gomez as Sue White. Perhaps the second series is better. But I doubt it. People who find someone bending over and sticking their face in a chocolate cake absolutely hilarious need only toddle over to the children's DVD section in any record store in order to fin similar. In some ways it tries to follow the cruel vein of humour found in shows like The Office. This would be a much funnier show consistently if the director were to reign in some of the grossly over-the- top shtick. One gets the feeling that the cast find this all oh so hilarious, finally let loose to chew the scenery as much as they wish and that they are enjoying some sort of private joke.
