Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

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

Jackson Booth-Millard The trailer for this show was appealing because it had the star and creator of Gavin & Stacey, I knew he was part of the driving force behind it, and it did look like it could be both funny and gripping. Basically Sam Pinkett (BAFTA nominated Mathew Baynton, also writing) and Phil Bourne (BAFTA nominated James Corden, also writing) are ordinary office workers for Berkshire, Bracknell County Council. Their undistinguished, menial lives are turned upside-down when Sam answers a mobile phone they find after a country road car accident, the message he listened to was clearly not meant for him: "If you are not here by 5 o'clock, we will kill your wife". With encouragement from mail-room delivery boy Phil that they can be heroes, this incident turns into a bad case of mistaken identity as the duo are plunged into a deadly kidnap plot. Later unexpected international conspiracy and intrigue becomes involved, and mysterious Scarlett (Dorian Gray's Emilia Fox) and Stevens (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' Nick Moran) and the enigmatic secret agent Walker (Dougray Scott) are at the heart of all the chaos. Sam and Phil must dodge bullets and escape explosions in their quest to save not just themselves, but the ones they love and ultimately their whole town, there is a point when the duo get separated across the world and forced to use different identities, but it all works in the end and Sam and Phil return to some kind of normality. Also starring Bad Education's Sarah Solemani as Lizzie Green, Dawn French as Linda Bourne, Star Stories' Tom Basden as Noel, Humans' Rebecca Front as Cox, The World Is Not Enough's David Calder as Mr. Reid, EastEnders' Ray Panthaki as Khalil, Cucumber's Vincent Franklin as Sergeant Ince, Homeland's David Harewood as Surgeon and Being Human's Jason Watkins as Anaesthesist. Both acting and writing Corden and Baynton have comic timing and make a great double act, it is fair to say this is not the most hilarious programme I have ever seen, but it makes you laugh in just about the right places, the episode with a body being dragged out the council office really made me laugh though, it was almost more dramatic most of the time and you got hooked by the chases and explosive sequences, also done in a comic way, all in all it is a fun enough and worthwhile black comedy drama series. It was nominated the BAFTA for Best Situation Comedy. Good!

msbackstreet I loved this series. Engrossing and refreshingly different to anything else on TV at the moment, it has the perfect balance of action and comedy, accompanied by a pulsating soundtrack.With a distinguished cast including Dougray Scott, Rebecca Front and Emilia Fox, it is nonetheless the two leads who drive the show.James Corden is his usual entertaining self, playing the childlike, lovable oaf Phil with gusto, whilst Mathew Baynton - as thoughtful, sensitive Sam - is undoubtedly the star of the show, thoroughly deserving of his nomination as Radio Times "Breakthrough Actor" of 2013. Already known and beloved to millions as one of the principal performers in the smash-hit children's comedy series "Horrible Histories" (check out his turns as King Charles II and Charles Darwin as examples), this doe-eyed, uber-talented 'beautiful boy' (as aptly described in Wrong Mans by a smitten Russian gangster), Mr Baynton demonstrates his vast range with some terrific dramatic, and genuinely moving, scenes. This is a man whom we need to see more of on TV, especially as his career is surely about to go stratospheric. The only thing I didn't like about The Wrong Mans was the curious title (a nod to Hitchcock?), but then I'm a stickler for grammar! It has become less of a bugbear for me, though, because of my fondness for the series - so much so that I have now bought the DVD and eagerly await Series Two... (happily for us viewers the BBC and Hulu have had the good sense to recommission it).More Mat Baynton (and James Corden) soon please!

Balrogh77 An epitome of splendid British comedy! A fast-paced tastefully funny show with great dialogues and laced with some appropriately portioned action scenes. The plot is simple, two male employees of an obscure town council get involved in a criminal underworld, double agent-turned culprit, law enforcement chase only to find themselves deeper in the mess. The script is smart, carefully and very well written. When you'd think you know what comes next you are in for a surprise, as the story has its twists and turns. The acting is superb, the actors in the leading roles play characters that are likable and who are quite the opposite of today's boring all muscular and super smart super heroes. We are shown two ordinary guys with ordinary thinking and who eventually do manage to make a great job of living through all sorts of dangerous situations, and even the score with the bad guys. The wrong mans is thoroughly entertaining, and is one of the very best of its kind in recent years. Strongly recommended!

Dableo The series pilot was actually pretty good. It was set within a very light weight British environment. I was really attracted obviously to the storyline which is about the two main characters mystery finding, also the camera use was very impressive and all the actors seemed fine for the time being. Also the way the story is being set in the pilot is very professional not too fast so that you would be like 'what just happened' neither too slow to be really boring. Plus it is a BBC production so expect a great set and loads of spending everywhere, definitely worth a try if you like mystery sitcoms. At least it was that good for me.
