Written by Mark Chappell who co-wrote Netflix series Flaked, which is well rated. But this didn't work for me at all. It's in that category of British farce which hasn't worked for decades, nary a laugh in sight. Gimmicky direction (split screen) doesn't help - has it ever?
Good to hear Sam Rockwell with British accent but in a way he has no charisma or presence, good also to see Saoirse as WPC and David Oleyowo as camp writer. Good production values even though half the time you think you're looking at CGI.
With Reece Shearsmith, Adrian Brody, Ruth Wilson, Harris Dickinson, Pearl Chanda, Shirley Henderson, Tim Key.
Fox Searchlight.
