I really miss silly low-stakes TV shows, it's been a long time since I saw something funny that didn't take itself too seriously.
Apple TV+ has some good comedy shows, but this is a different breed - it's snappy, endearing, full of charm and wit, that knows it's not aiming to be too complicated or high-browed, meaning you're left with 35 minutes of fun. It's what I hoped to see in "Our Flag Means Death" - more light hearted silly stuff and less of an over-serious plot.
The pacing is excellent for this type of comedy, and Noel Fielding does what he does best here as Dick Turpin, being somewhere between a bumbling, naive doofus and a courageous outlaw gentleman.
All in all, I can't wait to see where this is heading and if the rest of the season is this fun - sign me up already for season 2!
