I haven’t seen it but no one else has answered so I’‘ll give a shot. As far as I can tell, British humor or humour as you all say :-), seems translate pretty well over here. Shows like Monty Python, Faulty Towers, Absolutely Fabulous and The Benny Hill Show , for examply, have done very well in the U.S. and I’ve alway been a big fan of the Carry On movies.
I have watched the first couple of seasons because it was recommended by somebody whose opinion I generally trust, but for me it has fewer laugh aloud moments than “what the hell?” moments.
Awesome. I thought it was awesome. Even though “the normal guy dropped into the strange environment” is a well-worn trope, this was executed brilliantly. I made sure to get all the work that’s associated with The League of Gentlemen and I’ve not regretted it. And man, they got some people dead-on, like that Pauline bitch. I had to deal with enough people like her when I was on UI, that’s for sure.
