Memorable, crazy movie

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Great show. Good to see that Ricky has made a career after Hollyoaks and Strictly Come Dancing. I didn't know it before but I now know he's a great actor.The story is dark, mysterious, gripping, thought-provoking, sometimes funny and INTERESTING. A breath of fresh air.

We just binged watched this in one night then did it again. Mad Sweeney is one of the greatest characters on TV. I know he came first but he's on par with Nick Sacks from Happy. If nothing else watch it just for the Dead Wife dialogue.

Very, very slowly moving. Very slowly. You are waiting and waiting and waiting for the special thing to happen. But it doesn't come. Never. You are waiting for the god Wotan to reveal his powers -- not that you know he has some, but you strongly assume he does. I really gave it a chance. I watched the first six episodes. I do not have a general problem with TV series in which nothing ever happens. I rated "Flaked" nine stars. This one is six. Not more.
