Newark, Newark (2022)
Looking forward to a second series!
I really liked this show, it was a real struggle to stop myself bingeing the whole thing in one go. The characters are funny and compelling, the story is engaging and most of all it's funny!
I don't understand the reviews on here that say it isn't, I suspect their issue is not with the quality of the show itself and more that it's just not their type of thing. I can see how, to audiences that prefer Gold's repeats from the 70s, it wouldn't appeal but I have to say I think it's a very promising sign of what Gold is hoping to put out in the future.
Only three episodes though, hopefully there will be more in the future? I think I remember the creator Nathan Foad hinting there would be (maybe on his Instagram) but I don't know if I'm remembering that correctly. Either way, it would be a real shame if we didn't get another series of this.
Overall, I strongly recommend!
Stuck (2022)
Brilliant!
Loved it, it's funny, the characters are interesting but not so outrageous that they aren't relatable. Plus, it contains a good amount of Dylan Moran's usual dry wit that I don't think I've seen on TV since he did Black Books all those years ago.
The only reason I give it a nine and not a ten is the length. The episodes are quite short and there isn't very many of them (only five). I got through it in an hour, another show like Black Books I'd have only gotten though 2 episodes in an hour, so not even half the series. Hopefully we'll get another series to rectify that?
The length is really my only problem, though. Everything else about it is superb, I definitely recommend!
