Is it worth starting?
This is 10 seasons deep — English drama with comedy threaded through, fine for the whole family. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.
- Why
- At 6.3/10 from 199 ratings, audiences are split; the genre fit matters more than the score here.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
