Seen it advertised for a while now, thought it was gonna be total tosh, as with most of bbc3 comedy shows.
Just watching it now and it's, well, 'well good'! The sketches are a bit iffy but the main show is pretty good.
No doubt someone will come along shortly to saw it's the worst show ever, well it's not, that is reserved for corden!
Seems like a worse version of Da Ali G Show. Will not be watching it.
That's what I thought and avoided it, until I watched it tonight.
I expected to hate it, but was also surprised how good it was.
I watched the first one which was funny as. Then i watched the latest one and found it to be a bit hit and miss. I dont think it will last...
I liked the first episode of "Rev"
Interesting to hear. Having seen the Severus for it, I thought it looked crap. Might have to give it a go then.
It's watchable, funny at times - certainly a lot better than it looks from the trailers.
I watched a bit of one episode and thought it was worse than the trailers 
My favourite line: (apart from "you is from the future!")
"I got to go and babysit for my 13 year old sister.
Her kid's a right handful"
the comparison with james corden is very telling.
agree with RD, Rev could be good.
I refuse to watch it purely on the basis of the adverts!
Its awful. I thought everyone on here would be slating it.
Funny, I liked the trailer, tried to like the show, but it's not doing it for me now.

oh dear.. classic mistake..
we all like mountain bikes so we therefore we all have the same taste in culture and entertainment..
I don't think it's all that bad. He seems to have taken the nastiness out of his comedy which I find a lot of recent comedians have eg: jack whitehall et al. Yes the ads are awful, and the sketches are a bit hit and miss, but it's better than a lot of the current pap.
Well I think it's defo one of the funnier progs on tv at the mo
Saw about 5 mins last night and didn't rate it- actually this is a good example of why:
"I got to go and babysit for my 13 year old sister.Her kid's a right handful"
There were a lot of gags like this where the punchlines were immediately predictable as soon as he'd said the first line.
Oh.
Dear god that's a really poor show. As I expected by the advert. Jesus if people find this amusing I fear for humanity.
Really? With the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, biological and loud bangy weapons, coupled with shouty angry despotic heads of state, I fear just a tiny bit more for Humanity than the effects of some TV show to tell the truth.
So I thought I'd give it a go, watching the first part of episode 1 on youtube. This is absolutely awful, I can't believe people actually find it funny.

You're mistaken, the downfall starts at grass-roots level, not at the top. The more the general populus finds such things funny the more idicative it is of lowering standards across the board
Seriously though, it is shockingly bad, it's like an am-dram comedy sketch, people shouting in some vain attempt at making what they say sound funnier, naff content, utterly childish humour and not even with redeemable features of other comedians.
Shame that series has finished. Bloody funny some of it.
And to repost my earlier comment
How bizarre, folks having difference of opinion about comedy show...
What is bizarre is folk taking their own dislike of a comedy show so f-in seriously. 
He was quite good with his ad-libs, to be fair - had me chuckling for half of it at least...
Thank **** it's finished.
Not wanting to be too controvertial, but is there a north/south divide in finding this funny?
I'm from Manchester and think it's just plain rubbish. It has no frame of refence 'up here' (I realise Mcr isn't that far north)
Do Southerners appreciate the wannabe wideboy humour?
Another vote here for the adverts where he is being piggy packed about and speaking like a retard really put me off,
I havent watched a show yet.....
A mate posted up a link on facebook with veiled references to an in joke involving the"armageddon" clip, a picture i used as a profile avvie of 2 figures, one bending down, and one holding "Raggett" ready to insert... I tagged my mate as being the hamster..
Anyhoo the link he posted up showed a bizzarre hospital scene, and i knew what was coming regarding the hamster insertion joke, so i watched the scene
And i actually enjoyed it!
Totally unexpected after seeing those F8ck awful adverts.
Will i watch an episode?
That's yet to be decided.
I'm from up north but I thought it was occasionally funny - as said the ad libs were quite amusing at times. Most of the rest was fairly dire though.

Could be...
this means nothing to us
IMO it should be call "Lee Nelson's well S**t show"
