I thought it was great, and I’m totally shocked and appalled by the mixed reviews. I was dying watching it, so many funny bits “creamy hands”, hacktivist reading out his Google searches etc. Excellent
Re some of the negative reactions. I think the gibbons brothers partridge is more nuanced, wordy, subtle and possibly a bit less obvious than earlier partridge. And the lack of a laughter track is a big difference (and much better)
I love early partridge but you have to say gibbons era is much better than certainly the second series of I’m Alan partridge which got a bit ridiculous, but was still LOL funny
I dunno, I’ve read some posters on Facebook etc for my sins, and it’s seems most people haven’t bothered with the gibbons material ie his books, online and sky series and film so the last they saw was probably having bouncing back pulped.
But anyway, I was mega pleased with the new show, despite the naysayers
