Hitmen (2020–2021)
9/10
Immensely likeable light and dark comedy
26 April 2021
Fran and Jamie are professional hitmen, operating for a mysterious Mr Big they call Mr K. They operate from a van and roam to their jobs, occasionally crossing paths with another crew on the payroll.

Before watching, this programme struck me as an odd premise or, even worse, trying to stand out just by being different - having a wacky premise. That's not the case at all and I was really pleased I gave it a chance. It pulled me warmly in from the first episode. Being honest, two episodes are a bit flat in parts but the sparkle in the majority easily gave it a high average mark. It's genuinely good fun with light abandon. That makes the occasional darker moments even more of a pleasure.

I'm writing this when just the six episodes of series one were available. For all I know, they're the only ones there'll be but I sincerely hope more will arrive.
