Review of Green Wing

Green Wing (2004–2007)
10/10
The funniest TV show EVER (since "The Office" BBC )
22 October 2006
This show is without a doubt, the most laugh-out-loud comedy I have seen in YEARS. It's much different than "The Office," in that is standard sitcom format; a sitcom in a hospital, ala "Scrubs." But where "Scrubs" can be mushy and repetitive, GW is fresh and unsentimental. Basically, it works. All the time. It's too bad that Americans won't be able to view it anymore. Most of the US wouldn't get it anyway. And a lot of Americans would probably find it offensive. Which is too bad, because as I said, it is the funniest hour of TV I have ever seen. It has replaced "Spaced" in my heart as the best comedy. I still DO love "Spaced." The character of Sue White is the most surreal funny woman EVER on TV. And Dr. Statham deserves all the comparisons to John Cleese. He is a brilliant comedic actor, with physicality to be jealous of. In short, seek this out. Find it. Get a multi-region DVD payer. Hack yours. Do whatever you can to watch this show. With American shows like "Friends" having hundreds of episodes, it's sad that GW only has 17. But trust me, it's the best 15 hours of comedy you're likely to see in a long long time.
