Any one watching this on Netflix? So funny

It’s about David Tennant & Michael Sheen who are supposed to be rehearsing a play over zoom. Such clever writing.

Hi VL, we've watched season one and two on BBC iPlayer and thought they were superb, IMHO both are excellent actors. The script was written and directed by Simon Evans, who also appeared, apparently there was also a lot of improvisation by all.

It's well worth watching but be aware there is some bad language too. Be interested to see if there's a third season.

Season 1 was superb - funniest thing I'd seen in a long time.

Didn't enjoy series two as much - I've just literally finished watching it 30 mins ago - too much emphasis on the other famous faces and I felt it diluted it. Not much of David and Michael just talking and bouncing off each other which they do so well. It's naturally funny, especially when the wives get involved.

I felt a lot of the guests lacked the same chemistry and it felt a bit forced to me.

I'd love to see a 3rd series with mainly just the core actors again.

Just finished watching series 2. Thought it was a bit weaker early on but then so funny for the last 1/2. The Jim Parson’s episode was brilliant - I really hope they do another series. But then again maybe I don’t as that would mean more lockdown.

We finished watching it yesterday too - and completely agree about the last two episodes. Loved Simon & Nick, but was horrified by the first episode of season 2 (Romesh Ranganathan), almost didn't watch the rest.
