This is one of those shows that you either like or you don’t. It has a very particular style of humour, a family related farce. I personally really enjoy it.
While this season was certainly up and down, probably more so than any of the previous seasons, it was nice to be able to switch off from the current world scenario and simply enjoy some light hearted comedy for half an hour.
While all the characters have their moments, Martin (Paul Ritter) is undoubtedly the stand out and carries this season comedically almost completely. He is an almost non stop laugh machine and is one of my favourite modern comedy characters.
The finale was a great episode and very much could prove to be the last ever of the show, but I think that would be a shame. The popularity of the show continues to grow and Channel 4 likely see it as a priority going forward.
Rating = 3.5/5
