Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

tony-19361 This could and should have been so much better than it is. The premise is a good one but it is completely spoiled by the most idiotic main characters. At every turn they make completely stupid decisions just to drive the story forward. What's worse is unbelievable relationship between them all and the writers insistence that they all share their feelings all the time. One minute they are all hugs and slaps on the back the next they are calling each other arseholes and telling everyone to F off. This is OK once or twice but when it happens 3 or 4 times in every episode it gets tedious and boring.This feels like a Breaking Bad wannabee. Four guys getting further and further out of their depth but unlike Breaking Bad this all feels totally contrived and totally unrealistic.Thank god for IMDb because now I can find who wrote this trash and never have to subject myself to anything else they write. The ending is truly awful and the whole program is just pointless. I cannot fault the actors they can only work with what they are given and what they were given was truly bad. Avoid.

marek_michalewicz Very good actors, excellent scenery, beautiful sets, and that's the end of it ... that's where they earn 1 point (otherwise it should be 0). The story-line is irritating and predictable at every turn and twist. The same thing always happens: one of the four people with very, very low IQ says: they are after us! we must run! ... and they run. Or: we must leave this car and run, and they leave and run, and then they return to the car, ... why leave then ...? No reflection, no thought, no analysis, totally idiotic: mice in a maze trap, not real humans, plus constant quarrel about their lousy characters and past, and the producers want to take the viewers for this silly ride.It's not a black comedy for me, its a extended spin about euphemistically speaking not-so-smart people. Formulaic plot, very easy to guess next turn. It is a cross of reality shows like "Survivor" + the one that nothing ever happens but people disappear on the deserted island and they produce tons of sequels ... = nothing to watch! good actors though, playing irritating characters ... miss it, please! Or switch your brain entirely and then watch.

Ryan Kerr I have to admit, I was impressed with the first series of Mad Dogs. I thought that the acting was top notch, especially John Simm as 'Baxter', which in part was down to the great writing associated with each character's development throughout the series. There was enough twists, turns and dark humour through the series that kept me entertained and wanting to watch the next series.However, with the second series I always felt that there was several times I would find myself sitting waiting for something interesting to happen, and when it does, it feels almost like an anti-climax. Through each fifteen minute part of an episode it always felt like something would happen that keeps you interested just before the ad breaks, and when it came back on, nothing really happened like was made out previously, and the next ten minutes would be filler until the next big shock.I'm not sure, but the second series just didn't grab my attention like the first, and I felt that Mad Dogs should have ended this time round, instead of 'To be continued'. I just feel that the story has been played out, and is not as fresh and different like the first. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but not to the point I would say I loved it.

brockheinz Mad Dogs is a really good program in my view, it has a lot of interesting times. good acting, good script and intriguing. however it isn't all fun and games, my main gripe with mad dogs is that there is barely any of it, sure it is an hour long but 15 mins of that is ads so in reality it is 45 mins long. Also, i mean, WHAT THE HELL 4 episodes, its the smallest series i have ever seen.The four guys have been around British TV for a while and i thought prime time sky TV might be there big break. I am a big fan of Hustle and Marc Warren was in the first 5 series, i have seen the other actors in other shows as well. Especially the well known life on mars. the plot begins with 4 sixth form friends meeting up to go to their friend in Spain who has made it and has his own villa and is major rich. The rich friend appears to be acting odd and saying he needs to attend to business even though he has recently retired. the rich friend appears to be in some dodgy stuff which turns badly for the 4.I'm not going to reveal the ending but i found it to be quite good and it was sort of a twist i guess. many of my friend appeared to not like it as much as i did, i think that they didn't like the ending because it doesn't tell you what happens directly, although if you think about it logically it is pretty obvious what happens in the end. i did hear that this was supposed to be a film, which i would think that this would be a better film than TV series. on the whole this is probably why definitely recommend mad dogs. even if it takes a while to set the mood it is worth the wait.
