Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

jeromeandrews-60963 Loving this show. More surprisingly my wife also loves it so it's doing something right. It has a fantastic cameo in episode five and there is also a great pay off from episode four with a significant plot twist that in hindsight I should have seen coming. I really like the series as its a collection of flawed characters each jostling for their place in any entirely impossible environment. I honestly don't recognize the negative reviews? The show Wrecked never aired in the UK so cannot comment on which is the best desert island show, but its not a unique concept, Swiss Army Man, Cast Away, Lost all the way back to Robinson Crusoe. FWIW Marc Wootton also created a show called La La Land about people trying to make it in LA but add singing + love and the movie version is not called a copied concept. Brett is meant to be laughed at because of the tropes as much as the lines his delivers, he is not meant to be an actual representation of a realistic gay person anymore than Harriet a realistic head teacher, or Susan an actual religious person, they are funny fictional characters brought to life for our entertainment, and entertain me they did!

joanblythe I'm a big fan of La La Land, Marc's previous show for Showtime and My New Best Friend which like High and Dry was also for Channel 4 so was really looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint. Great opening and characters - my stand out so far is Asim Chaudhry but also loving Harry Peacock's (Toast) performance so far. It's early days but I've already been shocked by Asim's character, bewildered at Brett's behaviour and most of all amused at the one-liners and slapstick by Wootton - really looking forward to episode 2 and seeing how it all pans out and develops

ann_elliott_991 Marc Wootton is exceptionally talented and a comedy genius and its about time he had a show aired on TV as its been too long. The cast were brilliant and yes they are a bunch of misfits , but that's the idea its a comedy for Gods sake its not supposed to be serious! Marc is well known for his near the mark style of comedy writing, and thank God for that, its edgy in a good way, Yes Brett is camp and OTT and vile but that's the point, all of these people have flaws, I noticed that there are two reviews on here posted on two separate days with virtually the same negative content, i checked out this persons other reviews and guess what they are all nasty and negative, so its safe to say his reviews are not a well rounded and honest opinion, just an excuse to spout vitriol, and as for the 'deeply homophobic schlock comedy' remark made by another person, what a stupid remark to make, why is it homophobic, and why just focus on the one character. I loved it and yes it made me laugh which is refreshing after some of the awful old dross that's been served up as comedy, ie the dreadful 'Hospital People', would I recommend High and Dry ??? Yes I would if you like original comedy that's funny, but if you like your comedy overly pc and boring like the old cack the BBC has been churning out of late then I would give it a swerve

tomdaly-17436 This show had potential when it was previewed, But the product failed to deliver. It's shocking that there's a lack of decent comedy around today, and this is a perfect example. The British people need real sitcoms, they DON'T need gimmicks! Whoever conceived this, I hope they were laid off soon after!To round off this interview, this shipwreck of a sitcom needs to be sunk, because it makes Gilligan's Island look like Lost!
