Witless

Witless has been the best BBC comedy of the past 5 years - superlative writing, acting and characterization, grounded in a strong sense of place. It's been a joy to follow, and never jumped the shark - it was always ambitious and kept growing and changing, expanding the canvas each series. I will genuinely miss Rhona and Leanne. The finale wrapped everything up in a clever, warm and incredibly satisfying way; I was in tears of happiness by the final scene. I've rarely seen a straightforward crime/detective series wrapped up with such intelligent writing and attention to character, let alone a comic one. Thanks in no small part to this outstanding finale, the series stands up tremendously as a whole - a thrilling, funny, moving televisual comic novel told that tells a complete story from start to finish. The conclusion left me elated, wistful, contemplative and feeling like I've "witnessed" something special. Thanks to the writers and cast for their stellar work. Hope there'll be a DVD!

An interesting story premise, well scripted, well acted with lots of laugh out loud moments. You know the writing is good when you find yourself rooting for the antiheros. I was gripped and binge watched all 3 series in one day.

More please, (Scared Witless?)

As with every show from the UK, the humor and pace here are a bit different than what I'm used to from American shows, but it got me hooked from episode one. It's quirky, it's different, and it's also funny. It doesn't beat around the bush much, sometimes the humor gets dark, but if you enjoy UK comedies, this should be right up your alley.

I'd say the show isn't for everyone, but I myself sure do enjoy it and I'll be pouting at how short the season is going to be (so short ;<).

The plot progresses at a fast pace and I'm glad they didn't go with some problem-of-the-week structure. Things change episode to episode and I sure didn't expect that from a comedy. But I approve wholeheartedly!

If , like me, you momentarily feel the first of season 3 is not quite up to the standard of previous seasons, maintain the faith: the last season is the best of all. For those who haven't discovered this excellent show yet, you're really missing out. Kerry Howard & Zoe Boyle star as 2 hapless witnesses caught in web of ineptitude and iniquity. Their chemistry is perfect, and they're strongly supported by an excellent cast (Samuel Anderson is especially good, and grows in his role.) and a, sometimes macabrely, funny script.

This is one of the best light comedies for many a year - it is brilliantly acted, cleverly directed and even the credits are well designed. It's not edgy but who cares - it's out-and-out fun
