This is a hilarious very black British comedy full of delightful performances. It's cool to see Rupert Grint not wearing a wizard's robe and Lindsay Lohan not high. I had plenty of fun watching this

It is funny. And it has some very high suspense levels.

Silly comedy, that keeps you watching, just to see what happens next.

But there is one remark I have to make, not referring to the show. How come almost all the images are of Lindsay Lohan Has she hacked the image section or what...?

If you think you have a dark sense of humour or have any sarcastic tendencies, prepare to be shocked. This is your test. Breath of fresh air. Funny when it shouldn't be. Takes serious issues and twists them to create bizarre situations that you can't help but root for and find funny...even when bizarre...ludicrous...out of this world at times! Another weekend binge watch MUST! Casting deserves a special mention - supporting cast are fantastic despite the sometimes (overall it's fabulous!) SOMETIMES slow, even stalling dialogue. A third of the first series could have been cut due to slow and unnecessary dialogue. A faster pace in future series (hopefully!) would be great! Direction and production overall great - camera crew (editors? Sorry for technical ignorance )deserve a special mention for the "putting together" which helps the overall performance and effect by at least 80% I imagine. Geniuses. In short, if you have an even slightly off centre sense of humour you need to watch this. If you don't, watch it anyway. The acting is actually superb and despite the location settings for any scene, the acting and storyline - no matter if you find it bizarre or believable, even if it seems uninteresting to you - I love the ludicrously overactive EVERYTHING personally - it all flows so well and becomes a believable and addictive addition to your life. I binged watched the first series in half a day. Mostly for "Ron"s HE WILL ALWAYS BE RON DAMMIT performance. The dude can act his bloody socks off and it was refreshing to see him in a "normal" regular bloke type character that was an actual adult who you could understand and emphasise with wether you are a man or woman. It descends into chaos granted and he gets quite lost in the madness as a person and a genuine REAL character but he still breaks free of HP and is "himself" iykwim and he does it really bloody well. Much off tangent and quite ranty at parts - sorry - lady reviewer and first or second (?) review when insomniac strikes so I need some practice. BUT I hope despite my over writing you sensible people can read through the lines and see that what I mean is it is actually genius in hiding type writing and acting and you should watch it immediately! Download it, watch it drunk, sober, tired, full from bingeing on popcorn pizza and dr pepper(or Fanta fruit twist?!) it's worth the wasted hour or three (trust me, persevere) to see a couple - or four - episodes. Top tip; if you're single it takes your mind off the post one night stand misery:lack of hooking up. If you're with someone - newer the better IMO, it's the perfect silly sitcom series to watch post coitus/early weekend brunch in bed (guys (and girls-who bother to cook, ever..avocado/mushrooms/tomato's all or some/one whatever on toast goes down well the morning after etc, meat eaters grab some streaky or not bacon or sausages and fry up a sandwich feast. Nothing helps the first series episode go down well better than a greasy or open (poncy IMO - but I love em) sandwich!) Ps. Enjoy my super long "helps you in the bathroom iykwim kinda review" no longer do you need the back of the shampoo bottle - FYI they've edited them ALL to tell you they're trying not to poison the ocean. Star my bloody ranty review. Insomnia grew this! And Ron - he will FOREVER be Ron has grown up. Don't miss watching him break free in Sick Note. This might be the last REAL sitcom you see him in before Hollywood snap him up and he morphs into a factory style same old same old actor in yet another unbelievable Diaz-UK "unknown" actor rom-com. He needs the support of the UK for the work he is doing here and now. As does, most importantly, the writers producers directors and everyone else involved in Sick Note. It has been directed/edited/produced/written/everything else that goes into it BLOODY WONDERFULLY. Watching this, at times seemed slightly CRINGE. Slightly MEH, a little OH COME ON WHATEVER AS IF a few more times than I would have liked....but it was all GOOD IN CONTEXT. The flow and feel of the whole first series at least from start to end was consistent and gripping even if it were more lighthearted than the description suggested. It is a breath of fresh air and a rather truth ISH testament in some aspects to real life in my neck of the woods (from what I've been told - except the articulate speaking - no one is that well spoken all the time in London - anywhere realistically - not just south London OR north London. (Pls no one take offence LOL) It's overall a great easy watching funny show with some great actors. It deserves more exposure. End of. Bloody watch it. Ignore most of my ranty off course CouldveBeenTenTimesShorterReviewImSorry just bloody download it and watch it! Thanks! :)

This show has been a binge watch for the fiancé and I! We love seeing a show with Rupert as a featured main character and who can go wrong with Nick Frost? There have been moments where we have laughed and have been shocked. There are times we have been on edge or even like oh no this is not for real! This show is a gem and a great find for us when everything has been starting to feel the same and we haven't been able to find much else to watch lately. I hope there is a season three and even a four because I cherish the chemistry between the two main characters. Plus, I'm a sucker for dark humor and British humor and this was just made to fill the void since having rewatched previous favorite shows too many times now.

As for Lohan though, I could do without. I am glad to see that they are trying with bringing her back to some shows and whatnot, but I find her bland and sometimes distracting.

Funny, different, intriguing, great British humor. I really enjoy this I thought it was pretty funny and very entertaining very silly but all in all well worth watching

Similar to many other black comedies, like Insatiable on Netflix, This show combines both the thrills of a crime show with the laughs of comedy. The second season is by far the best thing Lindsay Lohan has been on since Freaky Friday.

Like many, I decided to give this show a shot because of Rupert Grint--better known as Ron Weasley. However, I was pretty disappointed from the start. What I thought might be the entire conflict of the whole show was resolved in the first episode--the other five of the season were random, poorly written, and pretty stupid. Rupert plays Daniel, who is generally likable, but that doesn't make up for all the messy plot holes and lame side characters. There are a few cheap laughs here and there, but nothing that really strikes me as clever or "witty". Everything about Sick Note screams mediocre to me. After struggling through the first season, I have decided to call it quits. I don't blame any of the actors, I think they are doing pretty well, but the writing comes across as amateurish at best. The basic concept for the show was good I thought, but the delivery is poor--could have been much better.

Funny, exiting and it got it all! Please where is season 3,4,5,6..?

I really like the actors, but the show is a bit annoying, particularly Will 5000.

Classic British comedy and love seeing Ron Weasley as the lead actor for this series, I hope they will realease more seasons! Overall enjoyed the stupidness of the characters and lies and how one thing led to all the acts in the series! I abselutly loved it and had my goofs and gags watching them.

Saunders and Serafinowicz have created a superb comedy series. This series has excellent direction, cinematography, writing, soundtrack and acting. The entire cast delivers perfectly timed comedic performances. In particular Grint, Frost, Johnson and even Lohan stand out. Johnson has never been as funny. His facial expressions, gesticulations and vulgar dialogue are hilarious. The plot revolves around Daniel Glass who is the proverbial down and out average joe who is also a compulsive liar, the most incompetent oncologist on earth Dr. Iain Glennis and a somewhat accidental death involving both characters. Dan is diagnosed with cancer by Dr. Glennis then revels in the sympathy and a new enthusiasm towards life. Soon afterwards Dan finds out he was misdiagnosed. While this is happening an accidental death occurs due to infidelity involving Dan's best friend. Dr. Glennis attempts to assist Dan in covering the situation up. This ignites a web of lies upon lies upon lies. Dan is ultimately forced to come clean with everything and go back to his monotonous life or to keep the ruse running. The plot is clever, witty, duplicitous, intelligent, insightful and is hilarious at times. This is a binge worthy series and substantial in it's genre.

I've just finished the first season after a complete binge. I love Rupert Grint. I love Nick Frost. And the two together have such incredible chemistry, rapport and comic timing that it's just a toe cringing, drink snorting, belly laugh inducing joy to watch.

The supporting characters are also great in their overwhelming absurdity of nuances and stereotypes that make up this show. But it pulls it off. It does not remotely take itself too seriously, which is why it's so enjoyable. It embraces the madness and surrealism with flair and humour.

It's been a long time since I've been so gripped, entertained and pleasantly surprised by a show.

I haven't even started the second season yet, though I will immediately after leaving this review, but I just know that 8 more episodes won't be enough for me. Here's hoping for a third season!

Rupert, Nick and Pippa are great leads in this silly and dark comedy. I'm so glad I was drawn in to checking it out. The rest of the cast is also very enjoyable and Don Johnson and Lindsey Lohan are hilarious American eccentrics. The only draw back to me was that the American video game guy storyline could have used some work in my opinion. Otherwise it's a string comedy I look forward to watching more of!

I was skeptical - but delighted to find Rupert Grint from Harry Potter fans was in it - the only reason to watch at first, but by the beginning of season 2 I was hooked! This is truly hilarious and Grint's comedic performance is inspired! It really is laugh out loud funny - and Don Johnson and Nick Frost are better than expected.

This show has a very good idea behind it but I didn't find it all that funny to be honest. I do like Rupert Grint though and he makes me smile if not laugh at the comedy in this show.

Insane plot line with plenty of funny and tense moments, talented actors and amazing characters couldn't recommend it enough.

This show leaves the viewer wanting more after every twist and turn. It's not perfect and can be quite silly, but enjoyable! I do hope they have a 3rd season!

A good dark comedy was Misfits for the first few seasons. I got to episode 6 of Sick Note and I just can't handle how campy this show is. Great talent just wasted on terrible writing.

Don't listen to the poor reviews. Anyone who doesn't think this show is funny has no sense of humor. It's NOT deep, or dramatic, it's exactly what it is. A light, campy comedy full of impossible situations designed to make you laugh.

If you liked scary movie or that type of thing you will find it funny.

I started watching because of Rupert and I have to say is acting is great, doesn't disappoint. It was also wonderful to see Lindsey Lohan back on the screen. However I would describe this as a show to watch while you are doing a puzzle: doesn't need you to be fully engaged at the screen. It was definitely weird and lots of madness, every character seems to be messed in the head one way or another. I definitely think show would go over well with certain types of people but for me, I never fully enjoyed myself while watching it. I'm not holding out for a season 3.

Rarely seen such a funny series that you could binge watching so well.
