A dark and slow-moving sitcom which is almost a soap (in that there is a very strong serial story line threaded between episodes). There is some funny moments in this show but most of the humour is very subtle and without a laugh-track its almost laughter free. It's probably worth sticking with but be warned it takes a while to get into. Some of the support characters (i.e. the pub landlord and the cops) are great but Billy, the central character, just doesn't have a strong enough personality, despite the best efforts of Simon Day, to sustain the interest.
