Never Better Audience Reviews

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Lollivan 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.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
RobCattani I love this Show ,have just been watching it again, and it's comedy perfection, I can not understand why it was not bigger, it hardly got a mention, Mangan was superb, such a great performer , the lady that played his wife was beautiful and perfectly cast too.The supporting cast were all great too, Chris Fairbank better known as Moxy in Auf Wedersein Pet was great as the fool of a AA leader, the lovely black lady was great, as was the sexy girl in the group, and the bloke who plays Geoff in Peepshow was his usual reliable self.Sorry I can't be bothered to look up the names of the actors, but needless to say I love this show and want it back on TV, when you think of some of the complete rubbish on TV now and this not getting a second series ,well it's mental..If no more are to be made at least release it on DVD.but make more, Please?
mark-loftus One of the 'cringy comedy' shows where the lead is very funny but you almost want to look away as they are so embarrassing. Just watch the episode with the new guy and his first week buzz.. nearly wet myself laughing. Best episode so far! Stephen Mangan is excellent in these types of roles - he seems to be a lovable Alan Patridge with morose features and an awkward honesty that rivals Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiam. The rest of the cast are also great but do slightly feel out of place hanging around the loser that is Stephen's. I hope the writers keep up the excellent pace - often great shows like this can petter out.
tom-1514 This is wonderful thursday night half hour comedy, Stephen Mangan is brilliant as Keith, a recovering alcoholic, currently being shown on BBC2 at 10pm. Just finished watching episode 3 ( god) .. very well structured plots, i love the scenes in the AA meetings with Christopher Fairbank ( Moxy from Auf Weidersein Pet) as the group leader. Tonights episode had a very funny scene when a pretty woman was talking to the group, and she caught Keith looking at her cleavage. Magnans scenes with his wife ( Kate Ashfield)are excellently portrayed. Fintan Ryan who wrote this show can be well pleased, its perfect sit on the sofa with a glass of wine comedy. Cant wait for the next 3 episodes, and hopefully another series. Well done to all concerned. I loved it.
