Dropping the Soap

A great binge worthy show! Funny, witty and hysterical! Acting is well done! Love Paul Witten!

Watched many a soap in my day and can only imagine this is how it really is.

Take a moment, grab some snacks, and sit down and enjoy!!!

This was a breath of fresh air!

After being recommended this show by a friend I found myself binge- watching the entire series in one night and wanting more after each episode. I wasn't too sure what to expect from the poster but within the first few minutes I knew I was in good hands.

The characters are well rounded, the story is clear, the comedy is tasteful but still edgy. I found myself genuinely laughing more than I have in a while at a TV sow. Just wish there was more. 10 minute episodes are just too short.

Spoofing American daytime soap operas and what goes on behind the scenes should be a very fertile ground for humour - the soap storylines being often ridiculous and the actors thinking a huge amount of themselves.

This show does have some laughs in both of those aspects, but it's kind of inconsistent and sometimes the jokes fall a little flat.

As a British person a lot of the cast aren't recognisable, and it looks like the show was shot on a relatively low budget. Although the soap scenes look great in that "soap opera" look in terms of the lighting and the video quality.

Also in the UK the 10 episodes have basically been tacked together into a 90 or so minute "movie" as opposed to the series it was shown in the US as.

If you want a funnier soap opera spoof and are British and of a "certain age" watch Victoria Wood's Acorn Antiques. Dropping the soap is a 90 or so minute distraction and it does have funny moments, but it is inconsistent and feels like it needs more energy and humour put into it.

Whomever thinks this is is entertaining, must not have a life. Not only is it asinine, stupid, cringe worthy, but plain pitiful. Hopefully they stopped at the ten episodes, talk about scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

I had a fun night while watching it It is so nice to watch soft without brutal violence,sexuality comedy show like that. People should consider these kind of shows on evening time. It conrains special characters with extreme personalaties. Most of the shows nowadays includes gun violence offensive and discrimination of people in their scenarios. But honestly you could find this funny and also short episodes makes you enjoying concentrated quality time while 1-2 hours. I wish I could see it before. I will suggest that show to all my friends. Its also nice to meet Paul Witten in reality. Thanks.
