IainMorton Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 What was so painful about the episode last night is that they tried to make it relevant, about how much random nonsense shows up on social media and people posting stuff just for “likes” and they failed miserably. Even the scene with Winston at the community hall was horrible to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The bad thing in my eye is that every new episode has potential, but between trying too hard and making Isa, Mick, boaby and even Winston main characters isn’t working. Last nights episode should have been better. Same with Navid. There was absolutely no need for him to be in that episode but it felt like they jammed a scene in at the shop just so he made an appearance.Pretty sure back in the original series you could go a couple of episodes without seeing a couple of the “main characters” but now it’s like they have to get everyone in the one episode for no reason at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Gave it a watch yesterday, and it wasn't as horrendous as I was expecting. There were a few bits that were decent enough, but it's getting dangerously close to OAE territory, and it kind of feels as if it was written to a really short deadline. Things were rushed, characters were chucked in for no reason and a few storylines were introduced but not developed. Meh. Burnistoun on the other hand was sensational.

He uses this to try and weasel free food and drink alongside methadone mick until he’s caught out. Jack and victor finally decide to upgrade their phones to smartphones after their phones break due to old age. That’s how the story should have been, could’ve still done the accidental FaceTime but rather than over the top greeting have it be a nice little discussion about their wives and their own mortality where Isa uploads it to Facebook and they also go viral without realising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Even away from the dreadful, panto comedy where every line has to be a ‘joke’, I’d like to know where they got a couple of iPhones for £20 and how Isa figured out how to record FaceTime. It’s been absolutely shite since it’s return. Every character must appear in every episode to the point where even fucking Peggy gets a line every time. She must’ve been in about five episodes in the entirety of the ‘old’ series. They’ve never got out of panto mode either. Winston must lose his leg every episode, they must cut away from a big bad sweary word every episode... Still, at least there wasn’t a rubber steak pie. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Winston falling over after chucking his leg was Mrs Browns Boys-esque. Painful. I did laugh at Victor and the ice bucket challenge, but that was the only time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It was garbage, thankfully the last series and hopefully can end on a bit of a high. I fear it’s as stale as only an excuse now and is so forced 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I got round to watching it last night. It's definitely more slapstick than I remember. It used to be very clever, but now it's more naughty unheard swearing and people falling over. Also, never in my life have I heard of a 'flat sausage'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Missed last week's episode so thought I'd catch up before tonight's.Got to Winston saying "shut it tadger" (i.e. about 2 minutes in) and had to switch off.When did this become so unfunny? I think I'll give the whole series a miss bar the last episode just to see how it finally ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
