Very much liked it. was funny had a lot of humor, very much liked the slang and it different types of characters and how they seem to fit there instruments. Found the process from going back to the past using an elevator very different but all in all a excellent family (mature) comedy for different viewers.
I give it a 9-10

Just binge watched Timewasters on Freevee 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽, love everything about it!!! Now I'm sad to learn and trying to understand why it wasn't picked up for a 3rd season??!!
If I had the means I'd pick it up for the 3rd. Those of us here in the States would welcome this historical comedic twist and cast of characters 😂😅😂😅

Just stumbled across this series and I'm hooked on it! It's fresh it's crazy it's brilliant. It does social commentary is such a clever way- it mocks it exposes bigotry all wrapped up in quick fire humour! Very very clever, well acted well played - it integrates little cameos from various films e.g. Get Me Out - Stepford Wives and spoofs them up! Great writing keep up the good work- hope we see more of this Team on our TV please

Love the idea and execution of this show! I'm finding British shows are light years ahead of American shows when displaying grounded comedy from a Black perspective. While the cast is Black, the comedy is relatable to a diverse audience. Pleasantly surprised colorism is not present.
Time travel is not traditionally considered for Black characters, as one character muses that Black people don't have a desirable prior decade to want to visit. Overall, a light-hearted, witty comedy that I immensely enjoyed.

I love an intelligent comedy, and this is one of the best! It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud this many times. It's original, with perfect comedic timing, and doesn't take itself too seriously despite the opportunities to call out prejudice. It's just fun and I love the characters are put into embarrassing and triumphant situations. Give it a try!
