Reviews

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
suzannefoulk-69784 Absolutely loving this comedy . So funny and will resonate with so many being brought up in the eighties . Great characters .
gb901 Created and starring idris elba - the new ofah this most certainly isn't. Reminds me of the ill conceived - and poorly received - early 2000s bbc alleged sitcom "the crouches" - and we all know what happened to that!
conrad-anang Idris Elba delivered TV Gold with this one. 80s based nostalgia. Great comedy and music. Wish it was on the BBC for a wider audience.
lizzieprince Loving this sitcom. I remember the 80s well and it's brilliant soundtrack takes me right back there. It's set in London in the early 80s with the riots, racism and difficult economic times as the backdrop. It's a funny, charming sitcom where you're rooting for the loveable characters. Idris Elba shows that he is a talented script writer as well as a good actor.
