People Just Do Nothing (2014–2018)
9/10
Classic comedy
21 January 2018
It's not an original observation that 'People Just Do Nothing' is like 'Only Fools and Horses' for a new generation, a loser comedy set in unremarkable London. The latter program became comfortable as it became huge, this one still has an edge; but don't let that edge blind you to what is basically classic sitcom territory of incompetenance, misfortune, and lack-of-self-awareneess. There are some brilliant lines here, and a cast of characters whose monstrousness is somehow not sufficient to make you dislike them. The ending (to the fourth series) is surprisiningly downbeat; but there's a lot to like (and laugh at) along the way.
