Very funny and realistic comedy
istara4 September 2019
Free Agents is a wonderful show and it's a shame they didn't make a second series, though it's somewhat complete by the end of episode six. Sharon Horgan and Stephen Mangan would be a strong enough cast, but adding Anthony Head as their suave, irredeemably perverted boss was a masterstroke of casting. He's glorious to watch.

This is a comedy-drama as much as a sitcom, because there are moments when it's very poignant, though without getting overly heavy. As a snapshot of dating in the late 2000s it's uncomfortably accurate.

So are the fluctuations in who-likes-who-more at each stage of their friendship/relationship.

Definitely worth a watch.

Another nail in the British sitcom's coffin.

Three single people attempt to find love in the big wide world. Sounds kind of like "Game On", except with one crucial difference. It doesn't have any jokes in it.

When the best thing about a TV show is the title sequence, you know something's wrong. Yes, welcome to comedy for undemanding 8-year-olds and the simple-minded. Laugh until your ribs ache at the repeated f-words and c-words. Split your sides at the on-the-nose crude 'dirty talk'. This is what seems to pass for comedy these days - all stylish opening sequences, big-name actors and no humour whatsoever. I can't honestly blame the three leads, who all deserve better, for this. I'd like to see the greatest actors in history salvage this train-wreck.
