Modern sketch show by David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

I'm 3 episodes in, and it's okay. I wouldn't say it's good yet, but maybe it gets better...

I kinda miss British sketch comedy. Are there any other modern sketch shows being made?

I lean toward more the good side of ok. I personally think there's more hits than misses, but I know it's all subjective. It was the Writer's Group section which really put it over the line for me.

I probably only think Sweary Aussie Drama is lazy because I've been watch episodes back to back. But I think they think it's one of those sketches where a bit gets so overplayed (like Numberwang) that it goes around to being funny again.

Nice to see Olivia Coleman make a cameo, even though the joke felt like an inside joke that doesn't come across very well.

Nice to see Behind the Scenes sections making a return. Although my favourite use of them was in "Situation".
