'Miranda' BBC2 comedy series

[8115]

Because it's so great. At least four self-deprecating "date" jokes in the last minute.

 

[mozzy]

I'm female and I'm afraid I can't stand this - it just makes me cringe and want to say "shut up and piss off!". She just irritates me - I wanted to like this too cause it got good reviews and I know quite a few people who like this, but it's just not for me.

 

[marty21]

Watched a whole episode and hated myself for wasting my time, totally unfunny

 

[ChrisFilter]

Yeah, wtf was that about - had Nick Frost, Kevin Eldon n'that in it but it was utter shite!

See, I fucking loved Hyperdrive and I loved Miranda Hart in it, but Miranda the programme left me slack-jawed in horror at how bad it was.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Does anyone else love this, like really love it to the point where I sometimes watch the repeat as well if I notice it's on. I'm not quite sure why, I think it's the relentness un-funniness of it. I used to love Not going out, for the same kind of reason. I just think it's brilliant.

Riiight, its good because its unfunny,hmmm, in other words its shit, ya mean!

 

[8115]

It's a bit like Alan Partridge, if that makes sense. Not so shit it's good, just sort of gently shit.

 

[innit]

It's not happening for me

she seems like a jolly nice woman though.

 

[8115]

"what I call"

rofl/ lol

 

[Mrs Miggins]

It was better on the radio -as someone said earlier...

Mildly amusing - slightly embarrasing - not the next comedy gold. Bit crap really - but somehow I just quite like her.

It's difficult to do comedy of embarrassment and social faux pas when Curb Your Enthusiasm just does it so much better than we have ever done. Although I have decided that Curb is just an American version of Fawlty Towers.

 

[8115]

I thought it was crap on the radio, i used to switch it off.

It's impossible for my radio to be tuned to any other station than Radio 4

Me too!
Is just silly and fun.
Only one more episode. This makes me sad.

 

[kabbes]

This kind of show lives or dies on its lead performer. The reason it is amusingly watchable when it SHOULD by all rights be terrible is because Miranda herself is simply very funny.

 

[YouSir]

Not funny in the slightest but, as someone else said, there's some redemption in its 'gently shit' qualities. Mind you I've yet to watch it sober.

Surprised it got made though really, are there actually enough people who get boarding school/devotedly upper middle class jokes? Some of the humour seems like it came out of a fictional version of the 1950s.

Miranda

What is this awful shit?

 

[madzone]

Awful shit

 

[klang]

what, that lemonade thing?

 

[Proper Tidy]

I always thought the woman in it was okay but that was truly gash. How the fuck does that end up on BB2?

 

[zoooo]

I love it.

It's not even the first series

 

[London_Calling]

Audience grew to 3 mill by the end of the first series, which is mental for BBC2. Cheap as hell to make as well so, all in all, BBC2 must be banging one out.

An audience demographic not much represented on Urban, I'd guess.

 

[editor]

There's already a thread on this, so I'm going to merge like a fucking crazy bastard.

Sorry, I did search. Clearly not very well.

 

[slake]

I would imagine you might find a couple in the management at the BBC.

 

[salem]

Sorry, thought I'd do a thread on this when I saw it'd won a load of awards but found this one(s)

I saw an episode when at a friends house once. It was utterly cringeworthy shite in my book. I'm relieved to see that so many people have the same views as me.

Seems to be a real 'marmite' show.

 

[Steel Icarus]

It's unfunny as fuck.

 

[Scaggs]

Don't like it, or anything else she's been involved with.

 

[boohoo]

No-it's still good with some moments of excellence. Some sharp comedy timing in there too.

 

[1927]

Don't like it, or anything else she's been involved with.

Not Going Out is brilliant!

 

[Epico]

"Oh look at me. I'm unusually tall, posh and socially awkward... what am I like..." [repeat ad infinitum]

Get fucked Miranda.
