Not worth the time to watch five episodes, or the effort to follow what the heck is going on with random dislikable characters - let alone the supposed leads. All around awful, wooden acting, confused storyline with meaningless plots and a sudden, unexplainable, unsatisfactory ending. The dubbed English script is also awful - who translates this so literally and so poorly?

A little gem of a comedy, with a host of crackingly good actors having lots of fun in comic-book style capers. The story lines are daft, and the script is witty - peppered with some splendid one liners, which exploit the breadth of out wonderful language. Mark Williams and Timothy Spall make a great double act, but the star of the show for me has to be Jack Farthing - who has fallen on his feet amongst such an array of British talent - playing an excellent turn as the absent-minded yet hugely likable Freddie Threepwood. His lop-sided expressions (verbally as well as facially) are top hole. Overall, an enjoyable dollop of good innocent fun - highly recommended :-)
