4/5
Delightfully cynical, with swipes at just about everyone, the series is also a dig at “glass cliffing”; as opposed to the glass ceiling, a glass cliff is when women are promoted only when a company is in trouble and needs good optics. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Simon R @RT44981067 02/11/2025 There are some comedies so bad that you feel sorry for the people involved. No private investment would have come within a 100 miles of this shocker. The industry in Australia is so small that the writers and performers could rely on their friends giving it good reviews in the expected places but - like a children's eisteddfod - the only people watching will be the cast and their families. I think they are aiming for farce but its hard to tell. Charles Firth is just appalling but its not his fault. Did the director actually give any direction? Or just say "go" and "cut". If production standards were lower it could have succeeded as car-crash entertainment - Plan 9 From Outer-space style. But it even fails at that. This is 'comedy' made by po-faced public servants that have studied comedy as one would the distant history of a foreign culture. See more Read all reviews
