Is the show still relevant and funny?

I watched the whole series beginning to end for the first time ever last weekend.

I thought it was very funny and sort of relevant to the whole twenty something not kids anymore, but not quite grown up, in the same way that Friends did it. Some of the references to pop culture definitely pegs it as set in 1999 but that doesn't necessarily bog it down. (I mean its 2013 and people are still mad that Phantom Menace is *beep*

You should give it a go especially if you are a fan of the Ed Wright/Simon Pegg/ Nick Frost combo.

Definitely. I first watched all of the show late last year and i love it. It still holds up today.


"I'm afraid i just blue myself"

I watched it over the Labor Day weekend, found it brilliant, and commented on the Sherlock (Freeman/Cumberbatch) board that it's a combination of three archetypal American 90's entertainments: Seinfeld, Kevin Smith's "Clerks" (and "Mall Rats," for that matter), and the X Files. I can't recall the last time I saw a television show so consistently funny. Sherlock fans really are missing something not watching it, because one of its cast appears halfway through (uncredited) and mimics another Sherlock character so closely that you can see where this recent series got its villain.

I just watched all the episodes on Hulu and I thought it was funny...I'm not British so I didn't get all of the jokes. I thought it was different than things I normally watch.

I just started watching this weekend after stumbling on it on Netflix. I've already gone through the first season and starting on the second. Very funny. Favorite episode so far is the club episode. Took me back!

I started watching it and lost interest a few episodes in.
I just heard online today somebody state that this was one of the best shows ever so I'm going to try it again. I'm from the US if that makes a difference. I do like a lot of the British tv shows I've found online (mostly comedy like Peep Show, The IT Crowd, or Misfits, The Shadow Line wasn't bad, that rehabilitated zombie shoe had an interesting concept, and a couple others I can't remember at the moment), so it's not the accent.

I've seen three episodes and am liking it. Heard Simon Pegg talking about it on a podcast interview with Marc Maron and thought I'd give it a shot. Don't know if it helps, I'm an American female in her 40s--have seen a few Pegg films (Hot Fuzz, Run Fat Boy Run, The World's End, Star Trek, seen a few TV appearances), so I came in as a casual fan of his, and also of Hynes based solely on a two-episode arc she had on Doctor Who. It's not a nostalgia-fest for me quite as much due to the culture differential, but a lot of it is familiar (I went to art school so a lot of that is the same no matter where you are I guess).

I watched them all about a year ago and thought they were very funny. One of my favourite comedy shows.
