Really a 7.5
kenndydemp11 November 2023
A really good mix between absurd scenarios and the reliability of being a Glasga worker. I personally have a soft spot for anything that has a good slagging between mates.

It certainly has some rough edges that need smoothing out but my guess is that it's, like other shows that will find its feet with more episodes. I'll be interested to see what STV do with it, I looked up to see if there were another 3 episodes due to be released as British sitcoms are usually 6 episodes but I can't find anything other than a live show.

I love Auld Craw and Kaitlin, they're really like an odd couple and 'The Beaver' (the boss) I wouldn't mind being in charge of me! Some of jokes don't fully land but there are plenty to make you laugh out loud!

Truly awful clichéd rubbish
malb-3531228 July 2023
This show is an utter embarrassment to Scotland and Glaswegians in particular. Awful writing and even worse acting. As usual we're all thick and lazy. I would have cut it some slack if I had actually laughed at any point but my girlfriend and I just sat cringing at how truly awful this is. Just incase anyone thinks I'm a snob I grew up in and still live in Castlemilk, Glasgow. Not one original idea and everyone involved in this car crash should hang their head in shame. If this gets another series it truly is the last nail in the coffin of Scottish 'comedy.' I'd have given it 0 stars if possible.

Slow start but brilliant!

I thought the first episode wasn't as funny, it was still decent, enough to get me to watch the 2nd episode which was really funny. The banter between Boab and Kaitlin was very natural, like they have been friends forever (even although they're always at each other).

There's a character McShane who appears in all 3 episodes a little but I hope to more of him in future episodes as he's got something, weirdly engaging.

Probably my favourite is Auld Craw, a dopey loveably idiot. Wait to you see the suit he got for £12 out the charity shop. The boss and the team leader have good comedy chemistry and there's a barmaid Jessica who has just moved to the city for a fresh start, she beautiful, smart and although she's caught the eye of Boab, I'm not exactly sure where her storying is going.

All in all, this feels like just the intro of a new series one of which I'm excited to see more of. I hope Sky have more out soon.

Re-watched this!

I seen this a few months ago, the hubby hadn't seen it so I put it on and he like me found it hilarious. A witty, smart sitcom about the lives of colourful people working for a cleaning company. The 2nd episode especially had me in stitches, Crawford showing up to funeral with an orange suit and Bob's magic tricks are as good as his patter.

The chemistry between the cast is amazing and everyone gets their own chance to spit out their own one liners. Surprised it's only 3 episodes, normally I would expect 6 but hopefully there is more to come soon. We could do with more sitcoms in Scotland!!!!

LOVED THIS!
ScottishWallace16 January 2024
I stumbled across this by chance. The interplay between all the characters had me in stitches! The group performers work in perfect cohesion and have incredible timing. Scottish humour at its absolute best. I can relate to so many of these characters! The whole thing is brilliant, writers, actors, camera, director, location are all spot on. The comedy is made all the better with perfectly timed camera shots and perfectly time one liners and facial expressions. I cannot praise the show enough.

Watch out for the two suits in episode 2! I'm not sure if there is more of these coming out, the IMDB says (2023 -) so I hope that means there is more to come!
