By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Dan Clark's caricature of himself, "Don" is one the most likable dimwits I have ever seen on TV. The show has the dark, scenario-based humor of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, the daft charm of Workaholics, but the culture and setting of city-life in England. For any Americans that claim "Well, I don't really like British humor"; How Not To Live Your Life might be a good place to start if you're on the fence about British TV. Yes, it has that classic dry, British wit, but Dan Clark is such an Ameriphile that anyone on both sides of the pond can't help but crack up at the preposterous and sometimes uncomfortable situations "Don" gets himself into.

I really can't believe how BBC Three decided to cancel this show after three seasons. They're definitely mental in the face. I've seen A LOT of comedy shows in my life, almost none of those could make me even smile. Some did of course, but these are shows that are regarded as the best ever made (Seinfeld, Chappelle's Show etc.). A feature a lot of sitcoms share, is that they're fun to watch, and are made interesting because by adding drama, but if you want a laugh, you're probably better of watching Dara O'Briain. I happened to come across this show and watched only five minutes after which I knew there will probably be nothing better on TV on all +200 channels. At this moment I watched, and enjoyed every episode. In the first season, it is made clear very quickly that Dan Clark is a comedy genius. Despite having a terrible cast (apart from David Armand), Clark was able to write a show so full of creative, unorthodox jokes, that the focus is only kept on him and Armand, while the other characters are only used to add some emotion to show. After one season, the cast changes however, taking an amazing turn for the better. With Laura Haddock, who is both funny and good looking, the writers are able to write hilarious banter between her and Clark, giving the show one star, and two great actors in supporting roles. The somewhat bad parts of the show, like a lack of decent minor characters, are so easily camouflaged by great writing, and the great chemistry between Clark and Armand, and Clark and Haddock. And I'll repeat: I can't believe how this show has been canceled, either a lack of marketing by the network, or just a network full of idiots. Everyone who's watched this, show can consider him/herself lucky for experiencing the great everyday phrases with Clark's twist like, insane in the mind, mental in the face, gaymen, roundhouse in the prick, and so on. I will definitely be on the lookout for future work of Dan Clark, as I'm sure it will be another piece of genius.

This comedy show is great and breaks away from the "norm". The first season is a bit quirky, but once you get to know the characters, they really surprise me how well they somehow mesh together. I think that the first couple seasons were spent developing the characters and the direction their stories will take. Season 4 is fantastic and everything seems to come together because while almost every episode poses some random challenge or oddity, the simple back story still develops and has really progressed in this season. There seems to be a trend of the negative reviewers of this show in that they are all over- analyzing and taking things way too seriously for a comedy. It's supposed to be funny, not intriguing and mystifying. "You gotta think with your balls" as Don would say.

Episode 1 is a bit quirky for about ten minutes, then it's downhill all the way. Here's a so-called comedy without laughs. The situations are stupid, the script lazy and the characters - leading or incidental - are irritating, boring or ugly.I can almost see how a pilot might have persuaded the world's greatest optimist that a series might work but it doesn't. How anyone could have commissioned more of this rubbish defies belief. Dan Clark must be the least funny writer and least charismatic actor ever to have been granted a series.One embarrassingly bad scene follows another. 'Little Britain' and 'The Catherine Tate Show' did their best to plumb new depths of awfulness but 'How Not To Live Your Life' is worse. Its only possible value would be as compulsory viewing for TV producers under the title of 'How Not To Make A Comedy Series'.
