I watched the second episode of Simon Amstell's new sitcom yesterday. The first I felt was pretty dire, but I thought I'd give it a chance and show some love and loyalty to Amstell; who I almost religiously watched on Never Mind The Buzzcocks.I know it's meant to be quite dry but did anyone else notice him smirking the whole time? It was as if he knew a joke was coming up, was eager with anticipation to get it out, and perhaps even smug that he had created it.
Perhaps it was also a little too autobiographical, a little too simple. It wasn't as quirky as I'd expect from Amstell, and it left me disappointed. There weren't great lines and Simon's acting is showed up by the rest of the cast.
That said, I'll probably still watch it next week. I can't help but hope Simon will do better.
