It was OK.

Josh flat shares with Owen and Kate, annoying landlord Geoff plagues them. All kinds of mishaps and problems arise.

I'd looked forward to this, having been a big fan of Josh Widdicombe's brand of humour since he hit the scene.

I enjoyed the opening episode in the series, I found all the characters pretty likable, all quite different, but charismatic enough.

BBC3 does its fair share of alternative comedy, I'll be honest it's not the funniest show I've ever seen, but it's not terrible, watchable enough.

Worth watching if only for the likable Josh.

6/10.

"Sometimes life just isn't fair.

For Josh, sometimes feels like always..The show follows Josh, his flatmates and their annoying landlord." Fun and japes its not more like a trip into comedy hell. watching the the pilot was an unreal experience its been many years since I've seen something so hopelessly clichéd.

Josh W (I guess he wrote it) has taken the worst, the very worst from the clichéd comedies from the 70's and produced something so bad it rendered me speechless. TOTAL SHI*. ..and the BBC commissioned this- amazing truly amazing.There are people out there cold hungry with little to eat the BBC should hang its head in shame for wasting yet more of the worlds resources on this empty paper thin load of balls.

You know a show is pretty bad when you have to make an account on here just to warn someone of how bad it is.

It's a cliché idea (it's essentially just; loser guy lives with friend and girl and gets into boring scenarios we've seen before) and nothing new is done with it, and you can see a good chunk of the jokes coming and they feel like they're reused, and it's never made me so much as smile, and instead left me in an awkward silence. I've seen this type of show before, and often enough written better at that too, so why waste time on this?

This show can actually be pretty brutal too - often times making up characters it thinks it's "beloved characters" are so obviously above, even though most of the times, you can actually find yourself rooting for the annoying characters, since the main cast seem just as annoying and boring as all hell, a lot of the times more so, at least the annoying characters are what they are, and aren't trying to desperately appear to be good and funny and likable to the viewer when they really aren't.

This really does show that BBC 3 is willing to sink to any low to put something new on, in fact, at first I didn't even know this and "Together" (another show on BBC 3) were different shows, I had to Google it to double check - that's how bland and unmemorable Josh is.
