SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

TheAlphaPair My husband and I weren't too sure what to make about the description of this BBC and Netflix Comedy but we are both huge fans of any and all things British so we gave it a shot. This is a brilliant modern comedy with a vintage 1970s feel. This series doesn't rely on dialogue but instead utlizes the facial expressions, nonsense mutterings, and body language of the talented cast to clearly communicate the thoughts and feelings of the characters. We both instantly loved it and hate that there are only 6 of them! Maybe we could hold out that the BBC and Netflix will realize what a gem this is and make more!

graduatedan There is a wonderfully absurd sensibility in Ponpidou, which stars Matt Lucas as the title character, a boorish aristocrat who's seen better days and finds himself living with his man servant and faithful dog in a run down trailer. The programme is virtually dialogue free, and therefore relies on the actors to communicate the story. For that reason, it may not be for everyone, but those willing to give it a try will be delighted by this charming, imaginative comedy. Pompidou, for example, has a pet fly that he keeps in his mother's false teeth container. His dog, actually a full sized puppet, wears a night cap to bed and reads books like Who's afraid of Virginia Woof. Pompidou, despite behaving like a petulant child much of the time, still manages to be endearing; one can't help feel sorry for the poor fellow. This is laugh out loud giddy fun that never talks down to the audience. A family comedy in the truest sense of the word.

chris-73441 I do understand most people would not really like Pompidou. However I come from truly enjoying and knowing most of the Laurel and Hardy shorts - and to me Pompidou is a great mash up of the old Laurel and Hardy formula with a modern twist to it. Knowing the old material, there are lots of parallels and they are done quite well.But they could do better. These initial six episodes - I can only take one per sitting. The "dialog" is funny but I can only take so much. I do like how they will pick certain words that can be heard clearly, such as the signature "That really hurt me" and "out". But I have to say every one of the six contain several moments that are hilarious to me.

stuart duncan I only gave this one star because the option for zero wasn't available.Agree entirely with the other reviewers - this is just plain awful. The only BBC programme that's ever made me feel like I'm being robbed.This from the Daily Telegraph:"BBC Controller of Comedy Commissioning Shane Allen said: "The concept is wonderfully imaginative, the writing hugely inventive and it's the perfect vehicle for Matt – one of a handful of performers in the whole world who could pull this off.""Lucas has been unmasked as nothing more than Little Britain's Andrew Ridgely.This should never have been commissioned, and if Shane Allen thinks this is comedy, he should instead be cleaning the BBC toilets, where he'd have plenty to laugh at.
