Green Wing Audience Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
1bilbo This series started out really well but sadly sunk to unfunny levels.The only series that has remained funny is Fawlty towers - simply because John Cleese refused to do any more episodes - he knew that it would not be as funny.However, like The Big Bang theory Green Wing has become not-funny after the start of the second series.That said, the first series was terrific and well worth another view.
adi-59541 I'm a great fan of Green wing, but only Series 1.Series 1 was sharp, witty, and utterly random, following a small storyline but ultimately being a sequence of entwined sketches based around a set of characters.Series 2 turned this on its head. It followed a (bad) storyline, which was a vague progression of the first.. but It did so at the expense of the comedy that was so brilliantly executed in series 1.The opening of series 2 was surreal, and poor. From that point onwards it get worse, and seemed to change plot just for the sake of it. There were repeated scenarios thrown in, jokes stolen from series 1, and a lot of the comedy was strained. Michelle Gomez (sue White) lost her edge and was frankly absurd and embarrassing rather than entertaining. Tamsin Greig was her usual excellent self, but we saw far too much of those boots.. didn't she own any other shoes? Alan Statham (played by the excellent Mark Heap)... well they just seemed to run out of ideas for him and resorted to trademark jerky movements and incomprehensible outbursts.But, the biggest travesty of Green Wing, is the peculiar presence (or lack of) the excellent Sarah Alexander as Angela, coming in randomly and seldomly throughout both series. An utter waste of her talent.. she was given few lines, and hardly any integration into the plot. It was random, and bewildering. I'm a huge fan (for differing reasons ;) ) and she was wasted in this series.So, great first series, one of the best comedies ever.. just don't expect much of the same for the second as you'll be disappointed.
efnijboer For me Green Wing is the best comedy series I have ever seen. The first episode introduces you to the characters and already fun to watch. After that every episode is a full hour packed with the best absurd humor you'll ever seen. It is almost as if every scene is a sketch on its own that is also contributing to the storyline. It is really an extremely clever masterpiece. Also, getting to know the characters helps make the scenes and jokes even more fun. It also is fast paced with really great music leading you out and into scenes and having you laughing and out of breath in no time. There is seriously little time between hilarious scene, situations and jokes that rapidly follow each other up for each full episode. Really a must see series. Dutch readers who like "Toren C" will also really enjoy this series.Not convinced? Just look up "Alan Statham makes a coffee" and watch this scene to determine in less than 2 minutes if this is the series for you. Enjoy!
bjbul99 I have seen the first series, and I just loved it. I haven't seen anything like it. I think it is the first real comedy series I have seen that is about life in a hospital. It will make you laugh, loudly. The first two episodes of the second series keep up the level of excellence and is just as hilarious, and bizarre. The characters in the series develop from episode to episode, and each character is eccentric in its own way. How they manage to produce one hour episodes with so many incredibly funny scenes is beyond me. The producers, the writers and the actors are doing a fantastic job!!If you haven't seen Green Wing, go out and buy it on DVD.I love it.
