Thanks for the memories!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

My husband and I weren't too sure what to make about the description of this BBC and Netflix Comedy but we are both huge fans of any and all things British so we gave it a shot. This is a brilliant modern comedy with a vintage 1970s feel. This series doesn't rely on dialogue but instead utlizes the facial expressions, nonsense mutterings, and body language of the talented cast to clearly communicate the thoughts and feelings of the characters. We both instantly loved it and hate that there are only 6 of them! Maybe we could hold out that the BBC and Netflix will realize what a gem this is and make more!

I have been a HUGE fan of Matt Lucas and his work on shows like "Little Britain" and "Come Fly With Me"--excellent television programs that have made me laugh out loud for several years. So, I was very excited to see that he'd made a new program--a made for Netflix show called "Pompidou". The idea for the show sounded great--a man from a rich, noble British family has fallen on hard times and has been forced to leave his manor to live in a trailer! However, despite a promising idea, the show is simply god-awful and practically impossible to watch. Much of it is because the show just isn't funny--a serious problem for a comedy! Much of this is because instead of dialog, Lucas and the rest of the cast mumble instead of talk--making the experience a bit like watching "Mr. Bean" or "The Baldy Man"...unfunny versions of these other shows. Perhaps the program will improve in later episodes but I don't see how. It's so bad I simply cannot make myself give it another try. Horribly written and a waste of talent.

This was surreal to watch in that I couldn't figure out how this ever got the green light. I understand Netflix is willing to try new things and in many cases it has worked out to varying degrees but this is way off the mark of what they were going for I believe. I understand the idea of a family friendly show is going to have a restricted sense of humor but I don't see anyone over 3 years old finding this entertaining. I was embarrassed for the actors and hope this doesn't hurt Netflix's reputation for being open minded. The mumbling isn't quite silent film era, the physical comedy isn't of Benny Hill or Mr. Bean caliber and the set with a puppet was a really odd reach tat just made me feel like I was on drugs trying to watch it.

4 episodes in and Wow… talk about dross TV.There is only one good element to this show and that's the puppet dog. The dog is the creation of the people that helped to make another BBC show called 'Mongrels' (epic win). To watch Pompidou just to enjoy the puppet character Marion though would be like; eating crap just to enjoy a piece of sweet corn. BBC Controller of Comedy Commissioning Shane Allen said: "The concept is wonderfully imaginative, the writing hugely inventive and it's the perfect vehicle for Matt – one of a handful of performers in the whole world who could pull this off."Well.. it isn't, it isn't, it may well be and he couldn't. The "writers" last "wrote" for Chucklevision BTW.Danny Cohen should have stopped this sham… was he on holiday?
