Scott says: "What is David Schwimmer’s character really there for?"
"I think it’s a show that doesn’t really know what it’s trying to say because it’s incredibly slapstick. There are so many different types of jokes and references, it’s very fast and gets into a lot of characters very quickly.
"It feels like it had a direction that it was going in but I watched the first two episodes and I felt none the wiser. What is David Schwimmer’s character really there for? I wasn’t really latching onto that - I didn’t really care about it.
"They obviously had a lot of fun making it and that comes through from what they’ve said and the scenes that they’ve done, but I’m not really sure it works on the audience. I think it’s great that Sky is investing in comedy but unfortunately it’s not a Must Watch for me."

Hayley says: "It’s just so funny - I think it could be a winner"
"Nick Mohammed is a comedian who in his stand up shows plays a lot of different characters and for years he’s been slogging it out in Edinburgh.
"He’s massively talented but has always been less known than I think he should be. It’s brilliant that he’s been given his own show. He doesn’t just star in this, he wrote it.
"I think the fact that he outshines David Schwimmer is great. I think this show is new and fledgling but there’s some promising stuff in it. It’s just so funny and I think it could be a winner.
"I want to see more of Nick Mohammed, so I’d say yes, it’s a Must Watch."
