This is the new sit-com with Blake Harrison (Neil from Inbetweeners) about assisted suicide so black comedy show really but what are people's thoughts on it? I liked the first episode and seems fairly funny considering the subject matter and the scriptwriters seemed to have handled it well :)

    Considering I was expecting this to be completely awful, the show's actually quite good.

    Was it? I've got it set up on sky plus series link and episode 2 was on last night. Are you sure the episode the following night wasn't a repeat of episode one? As you say, it would be a bit baffling if they had put the next episode on the following night. I know BBC3 often show the first 2 episodes of a new series consecutively on the same night; I think they did that with Pramface recently.

    For the record I'm enjoying it- subject matter that hasn't been covered in a comedy before as far as I'm aware and so far it's being treated well by the script writers imo. One thing that is bugging me though and which I may have missed in the first episode. Why did they feel the need to invent a machine to administer the lethal injection rather than just hand the person the syringe? I can understand that they wouldn't want to do it themselves but I was wondering if they explained why the need for the machine arose, other than just for pure comedy value?

    I found it quite good but not laugh out loud funny. He never going to do better than the inbertweeners, lets be honest.

    What I meant was that episode one was
    shown on wed night followed by episode
    two on thursday night!
    Usually,at the end of one episode the
    announcer will do a voice over saying
    'next episode is to be shown...' and they
    didn't!
    I found episode two purely by chance!
