Things go from bad to worse.

Warning: Spoilers
Wedding plans are on the current agenda for the charismatic pairing. Rob's attentions are diverted when he speaks to his bosses via Skype and loses his job. Boston is an option, if they moved there he'd be back with his firm. Dave is on hand with a job offer, a dodgy firm making dubious drugs. Sharon calls Rob's mum, the pair don't exactly hit it off, Rob's mum tells Sharon how he made another girl pregnant, Sharon stupidly uses social media to try to find her. Sharon's birthday, and Rob invites all of their friends to a surprise meal.

Rob's rant with his bosses is hilarious, how many people in jobs they dislike wish they could do that. Sharon clearly doesn't seem like the happiest of teachers.

Dave is funny, kind of creepy, but he's an interesting character. The storyline involving his seeking a rather different kind of pleasure was very random.

It's a very smart, slickly delivered episode, I love the humour, it's beautifully acted. The show just gets better.

Good but not great. If main male actor did not appear as if he's reading his lines would be a 9.5

If lead male actor did not appear to be reading his lines would be a 9.5. Would be better if they did not mix in the swear word they did. Does not add to the plot to say fu** that much. Good story lines. Great acting except the lead male actor.

Plot is very good. Would make it on American T.V. excluding the constant swearing which does not add to the plot.

Cliff hanger ending. Sometime hard to understand the heavy British accent.

May have to use Closed Caption as I do.

Replace the Male lead actor with someone who can act.

Lead female and supporting actors much more believable.

Excellent!

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. I love Rob Delaney. He comes across as affable, soft, pleasant and I think he's extremely funny. Plus, as he is writer and creator of this show, he will not be being replaced. I love this show. Clever, funny, I feel Sharon Hogan and Rob Delaney make an excellent couple, they have great chemistry and they both make me laugh. Well done!
