This is a brilliant show , mad and funny but deals with important issues , real issues in life
The great cast makes this show into something completely different and i love it i wish more producers and production companies would have the balls to create content like this. i would recommend anyone who hasn't watched it to do so. Walter Blunt , played by our loved Patrick Stewart is simply an ingenious character , morbid and happy at the same time full of life and advice and yet childish and playful the supporting cast is also an assortment of "weirdos" who make the show come to life with their over the top issues and loyalty to the main character
as i usually don't find good things to write about , this review is by far a oddity for me ( i also don't write under this name) but here it is
One of the best shows on TV
