Is it worth starting?
This is 9 seasons deep — English comedy with family threaded through. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.
- Why
- 6.9/10 from 139 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
