Review of Gavin & Stacey

This is a bizarre show. The first series is a funny romantic comedy that is great to watch. The second series morphs into a bizarre drama about a marriage in trouble combined with an uncomfortable situation regarding a pregnancy. It makes absolutely no sense to me how the writers took such a drastic turn, maybe they just lost their touch. While the humour flowed naturally in the first series, their attempts at it in the second series come off as extremely forced and unfunny. They also leave the show on a cliffhanger of sorts but I don't have any desire to watch the promised third series.

Update: I was a little surprised but The third and final series came through late last year and I'm glad to report that it found some of the funny again. It still doesn't excuse the disastrous second series but at least they closed out the show on the upswing and resolved all the story lines.

7/10
