I checked out one and a third episodes of this, but it just doesn't appeal to me.
It seems like it was trying to be 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel', set in 1960s Britain, but it lacks that series' class and wit and cleverness.
Instead, 'Funny Woman' is dull and tasteless, with unimaginative dialogue and plots, and actors (especially Rupert Everett) who seem to sleep-walk through their roles.
It just lacks verve and conviction and great acting, not to mention great dialogue and sets.
Perhaps Brits will love it a lot more. As for myself, I bailed one-third of the way through the second episode. Maybe it gets better after that, but I don't want to spend any more time on it.
