“Although I adore her character in Doctor Who, I was unaware of just what a good actress Catherine Tate is. This is some of my favorite sketch comedy I've seen in ages. The best part is the unexpected subtlety, both to Tate's character observation and performance and to the humor itself. Every sketch is a droll little observation about a character type or a life scenario, most of them dreadfully inane yet seldom addressed. Each only lasts for a few moments -- just long enough to explore the point -- then moves on.
As I said, the most startling thing is Tate's performance. In each episode she plays at least half a dozen completely different characters -- different accent, different speech patterns and mannerisms, different posture -- and she totally, believably embodies each of them. A few characters recur from episode to episode as the material presents itself, but each episode has its share of original voices.
I was unsure what to expect, as I so often hear such strong invective about the show, but based on the first few episodes, I suggest it unreservedly.”
“I love this show. Catherine plays so many different characters. They're all great.”
“its funny but it's too repetitive”
“I'm only 4 episodes in, but it's really fantastic. She is a true comedienne.”
