Wow, some folks REALLY hate this!! Oh well, their loss.
If you made it through all 3 seasons of Toast Of London and NEED more, then this will do just fine. Yes, one can argue that it's not exactly up to snuff with the first series, but it's still got a lot of humor!
Oddly, some people actually think they changed filming locations and that they lost their magic in doing so. Ha! Well, if you actually watch the show, it's all pretty much interior studio stuff with dressed up exteriors that are NOT Los Angeles. There might be a few location shots here or there, but this was filmed in England.
Yes, there's a lot of celebrity cameos. Most are unobtrusive and enjoyable. To drive the "made in England" bit home, several cameos are via zoom!
My ONLY gripe is that most of the cast from the original series is only seen in the first and last episodes. Sadly, this includes Ray Bloody Purchase. I really wish Ray was skulking about LA at the same time as Toast; occasionally bumping into him causing problems, etc. Other than that, it was ALMOST as funny as the original series. I just hope the last episode doesn't cloud the chances for a return to London for Toast!
