Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

vincethesoundguy I had been watching season one of this series on PBS in the USA, and thought it was hilarious. The veteran leads were amazing in their timing and delivery. Surprisingly, it also had it's tender moments as well.Now season 2 comes along. I'm not sure what happened, but the second season seems much more contrived and mechanical than the first one. I'm pretty disappointed. New director, new writers, bored actors, smaller budget, not sure? I'm guessing there's no season three on the horizon, although I'm not sure, and based on #2, I wouldn't follow it anyway. Too bad, it had great potential for a long run.Could have been the next Honeymooners or Fawlty Towers classic.

Prismark10 In 2011 the BBC debuted Mrs Brown's Boys, an old fashioned sitcom with some earthy language which from a critical mauling and low ratings have gone on to become a ratings juggernaut. At a similar time the BBC had another show Miranda, an old fashioned style sitcom which also did well in the ratings.ITV with green eyed jealousy thought we should have some of that and signed up thespian knights Derek Jacobi and Ian McKellen (gay in real life) to play a pair of bickering old Queens who have been together for five decades and who spend their time throwing barbs at each other growing old disgracefully.Plot. Ah there is a problem there is not one. ITV think that the audience will collapse in fits of laughter because Sir Derek and Sir Ian are insulting each other.You do not care about the characters, the lines are not funny. It lacks the wit, sophistication, craziness and sharpness of a classic like One Foot in the Grave which dealt with misbehaviour of old people much better.

axe_hallorann I am so very pleased with this excellently written and performed comedy. The dialog is sharp and witty, and the actors are predominantly over 70 (which showcases their amazing talents and experience). I don't think there's ever been a show about a gay couple that is actually played by two gay actors, much less two knighted actors of such high caliber. The scathing insults they throw at each other are reminiscent of classic shows ranging from The Honeymooners, The Jeffersons, or Married With Children (and many others). Even though the insults are constant, there's also a heartfelt sweetness and love between the two leads that is undeniable.I've read the many negative comments here, and I'm utterly appalled by the ignorant, puritanical, and completely humorless people that are out there. To say that the main characters are stereotypical is absurd. Remember, these characters were together in 1960's Britain; homosexuality was illegal and the culture was completely different from today's much more enlightened attitudes. Much of the humor is delivered from an older perspective, and most people lose their tolerance for BS and social niceties as they age. I've been with my partner for 25 years, and, although we don't openly insult each other, we both find this show to be hilarious and sweet. Don't let the trolls and haters influence you to see the show, just give it a chance.PS- The people upset by the "rape" joke are uptight idiots. The joke did not belittle rape, it was funny in context of who said it. Ask any comedian and they'll tell you any subject can be funny under the right circumstances or context.

fgasparotto I thoroughly enjoyed this show.I saw a few episodes and I fell in love with all the characters. My best friends are gay couples and, in spite of the put downs, they do love each other. Well written, charmingly acted - it is a great show!I have always loved Derek Jacobi and Ian McKellan. I am a great fan of their work.They work well together and the Frances De La Tour character is a laugh riot.The young man that lives upstairs is a particular favourite of my fifteen year old daughter.I hope this show lasts for a long time!
