Good concept, overall, I enjoy the series. The ideas and humour are great on Mitchell and Webb's part, because they've had plenty of practice at the kind of roles they play. Also, Olivia Poulet is awesome as per usual. I have to say though, I thought the rest of the characters and story arcs are truly awful. Geoff is one of the worst characters ever written in a comedy series, trying so hard to be edgy, but just coming across as obnoxious and trying so hard to appeal to the E4 viewers. The rest of the characters, especially the mother and the sister are badly written and badly acted. And don't get me started on the bar staff. I can only assume they are somebody's mates from acting class who have never had a major role in a series before.

It's a good job Simon Blackwell and Mitchell and Webb are holding this together otherwise there would never have been a 2nd series.

All being said, bring on series 3.
