Wasted (2016)
That strange old sense of deja vu
Just watched the first two episodes. Only watched the second to 'give it a chance'. A friend recommended this was a great comedy and that using Sean Bean was 'genius'.
I will say using Sean Bean is 'wasted' is far more appropriate. Pun intended. Could not believe that the Daily Telegraph Culture section gave it 4/5 stars. But then their review title 'Sean Bean steals the show as he parodies his Game of Thrones ghost' is essentially a euphemism or polite way of saying 'this is garbage, Sean Bean makes it just tolerable'.
It felt like it was ripping off Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz/Simon Pegg in general. My Wife then read some reviews out that said exactly the same.
The humour considering they are '20 somethings' would have been juvenile to me when I was 20. K.M.N. and 50 minutes of my life wasted spring to mind (plus the extra 5 minutes to write this review). Avoid like the plague as there are funny ways to spend an hour.
