I'm always annoyed when good shows end early especially comedies but in this case I think 5 was enough, it's a hard show to review as some episodes are hilarious some are just ok and some especially like the au pair in season 6 are downright terrible. How they wrote a character so terrible for sally Phillips is ridiculous plus it was just really implausible and ludicrous you'd let someone so deranged look after kids etc.
The parents are two quality actors where the sons are one dimensional and literally just like plebs and inbetweeners versions of themselves. The repeating a word like a catchphrase to the inane bickering and fighting it's just a bit dull. Simon bird is so massively overrated from the inbetweeners,I watched him in sandylands recently and he's so awkward and just not a good presence . There's some good chemistry, even the great Jim was too ridiculous in season 6 just mak8ng me feel I'm done watching it, looking for humour in the same repetitive formula gets boring, the stories getting weirder and the natural real life elements seeming to be gone.
First 4 series 8/10 overall 5 6/10 2 bad episodes dragging it down Series 6 3/10 at best
Just declining and seems a vehicle to keep two young actors in relevance rather than trying to be a great show
