So is anyone actually watching this?
4 episodes in and I'm actually rather enjoying it. Have to say the advertising did it no favours... Made it feel like a total screwball comedy, but it's hardly that at all. It's a pretty straight comedy, with lots of fish out of water stuff sure, but also lots of heart and it's pretty feel good stuff. It's also way more British then I thought it would be.
Think the football stuff is handled pretty well, mainly though not showing games and not getting too bogged down in specifics... There's little stuff of course (like where are the other coaches!?) but yeah considering the show that it is, I think it's fine. The squad dynamics /make up is pretty good too, and the bloke who plays the captain looks like someone who actually would play for Palace, so there is that.
