Peter McGinn:
I enjoyed this series, little known outside of the UK, I gather. The characters were for the most part likeable and the three male leads shared a pretty good chemistry. The drama was never too intense or negative, and the humor was often based on wit rather than scatalogical or gross out humor. I thought the women in the show cut the men way too much slack at times, as the guys insisted on lying a lot, even at times when telling the truth would have made more sense and got them a better result. The Raymond character broke a bit bad at one point towards a lady but didn’t seem to have had to answer to it. Anyway, it was a pleasant watch overall. Episodes are available on YouTube of all places at this time, though who knows for how long?
