I came across this by chance after watching The Book Group which also stars Michelle Gomez. Its obvious this has a few haters but I gave it a chance, simply because Michelle hasnt ever been in anything bad I've seen so far. She plays mental like no other woman, Green Wing is probably her most well known role.
So whats the issue? Well it seems that the fact this is women in the key roles thats the problem for some. Some guys simply refuse to engage with funny women. I would bet that had the central characters been played by guys they would have no issue with it. You also cant fault the writing, just look at her credits which include Veep, Succession and The Thick Of It. Sorry but the standard here is very high.
It would be interesting to see what the same people who rated this low thought of Smack The Pony.
I gave it a chance and I am currently binge watching it on Youtube.
Its funny as long as you can cope with women being funny. Which is obviously too much for some....
