Dear Channel 4. A "sitcom" is short for "situation comedy". That is, a comedy that comes from the situation. And these situations come from characters, whose actions reflect their personalities and who are different from each other. Even bad sitcoms understand this.
What you have here is the kind of cringe, forced spontaneity that Channel 4 comedy has been churning out for the last ten years. Two protagonists with a series of gags where their personalities should be, who do identically the same stuff in set ups that might work in sketch shows but definitely do not in sitcoms. I suggest you go back to the drawing board and research shows like Happy Endings, Workin' Moms or (the first 4 episodes of) Broad City.
For anyone looking to check this "sitcom" out - you will predict the climax of Episode 1 - I guarantee it.
