Witless Audience Reviews 44x5c

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
abati-59817 This is one of the best light comedies for many a year - it is brilliantly acted, cleverly directed and even the credits are well designed. It's not edgy but who cares - it's out-and-out fun
wolfstar_imdb Witless has been the best BBC comedy of the past 5 years - superlative writing, acting and characterization, grounded in a strong sense of place. It's been a joy to follow, and never jumped the shark - it was always ambitious and kept growing and changing, expanding the canvas each series. I will genuinely miss Rhona and Leanne. The finale wrapped everything up in a clever, warm and incredibly satisfying way; I was in tears of happiness by the final scene. I've rarely seen a straightforward crime/detective series wrapped up with such intelligent writing and attention to character, let alone a comic one. Thanks in no small part to this outstanding finale, the series stands up tremendously as a whole - a thrilling, funny, moving televisual comic novel told that tells a complete story from start to finish. The conclusion left me elated, wistful, contemplative and feeling like I've "witnessed" something special. Thanks to the writers and cast for their stellar work. Hope there'll be a DVD!
stevefranklin75 I thought I'd test the water by watching the first episode and after doing so, I was itching for the next. As it goes on it gets better. The girls are funny, good actresses and believable. The other characters are also very good. No dodgy acting from any of them and no boring moments throughout the series. The wife and I were surprised that it's only a five part series as the fifth episode didn't really close as one would have thought. The show is quite dark and yet is very funny. It is quite shocking in places where you just don't expect things to happen, but then they do! Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the second series, and it's a box set I'll definitely be adding to my collection.
Dames Fogarty Synopsis: Having witnessed a crime, 2 ordinary women find themselves on the right side of the law, but on the lamb none the less. ( How's my cockney idiom? It's been a while since I saw Minder.) Since watching the program, I've looked up the pedigree of the writers and was unsurprised to find they have, in the past, produced work I've really enjoyed. This series is spot on: the women in the leads are bright, vivacious, beautiful, and their comedic timing is perfect. The ing cast, many of whom I hope will become regulars, are equally adroit. At the time of writing the next episode is going to air tomorrow evening, if you're reading this before that time I'd be catching the first episode shortly before hand to give myself a double treat on 29/04/2016. Well worth watching. I'm entirely confident this show will maintain a bullet fast momentum, set in the first episode.
