Watched the first three episodes of Alley Cats last night - very amusing, LOL at points but also quite touching...

Watched the end last night, most excellent - classic Gervais...  cloud9:

I believe it is #1 on Netflix now...?  rubschin:

Well, not all of them, hence #1 on Netflix...  ::)

The girl in the Telegraph gave it a terrible review (zero stars) but got absolutely hammered in the comments by people that had enjoyed it...  lol:

The DT, the Times, the Independent, Empire magazine, Rotten Tomatoes, the Grauniad, the NME, Huffpost etc etc say it's only for those that think F and C words are all you need for humour.

Gervais made a great post on Facebook earlier, "I wish I had a Pound for every time I insulted somebody - oh I have!"  lol:

I shouldn't think he cares too much about what The DT, the Times, the Independent, Empire magazine, Rotten Tomatoes, the Grauniad, the NME, Huffpost etc. think about the show - apart from the great publicity it has given him and a #1 slot on Netflix.  ;)

Strange. When I made a comment about Keir Starmer's speech you said:

So you didn't watch it but you gave an unambiguous condemning view of it.  Do you not see the flaw here?

And yet here we are...  rubschin:

And I didn't say I didn't like it did I - because I hadn't watched it.

But the reviews suggest I won't bother

You can add mine having watched the first episode earlier:

Crude and unfunny.

A bit like Ricky Gervais actually.

yes it was weird and weirdly enjoyable

Seems a second series may or may not happen, IMHO might be best to leave it open.

Yes, when the caption said 'To be continued' at the end I immediately had doubts about how it could be done...  rubschin:
