Is it worth starting?
This is 24 seasons deep — English comedy with talk threaded through, adults only. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.
Don't watch this if…
- you want something that ends tonight — there are 24 seasons of it
- you're watching with family — it's certified 18
- Why
- 6.0/10 across 248 ratings — a middling reception, so this one depends on whether the premise appeals to you.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
