djstu77 This is like 2 shows in one. I would have liked to see how it had progressed if Andy Samberg had continued in the show. Series one starts off slow but by episode 3 it starts to come alive as the characters gel and you begin to care about them. The wedding episode is a classic. I binged watch this and I was excited to see how Taylor Lautner would fit in. Unbelievably he is better than Samberg. His Dale, straight from living in a cult all his life, is just superb as he discovers new things in each episode. Series 2 and 3 are brilliant but so different from series one but with all the characters you loved from series one. All supporting cast shine as well, especially Steve who tends to steal any scene he is in. I am eagerly awaiting series 4 but in the meantime reruns will just have to do.

xhidden99 I honestly do not know. I don't like Andy Samberg. In fact I hate Andy Samberg. I loathe everything about him. His approach to acting and comedy is to literally make your skin crawl with stupid unfunny garbage until you want to shoot yourself in the face at which point Andy wants to make you feel stupid for not being as alt hipster as him. In any case he's nailed it here. Cuckoo is a character you want see beheaded by ISIS. The rest of the cast and characters are good. Greg Davies is excellent. Helen Baxendale dies yeoman service in a fairly bland role and Esther Smith as the ditzy probably half retarded narcissist daughter and wife of uber slacker zoid Cuckoo is OK as a clueless spoiled princess brat. I just don't know though. Only a few eps in and I wonder where they're going to take it? Will Cuckoo burn the house down as his wife and mother in law cheer? Who knows?

Dr_Unken I like Greg Davies, as a comedian and as a writer. Andy Samberg has had me cracking up on a few occasions too. However "Cuckoo" is a sitcom about a family full of cretinous tw*ts, that half-heartedly welcome another massive tw*t into fold, and what ensues is bland, over-safe, witless albeit irritating character driven comedy. "Cuckoo" started in 2012 and went on for 3 series. There are no critic reviews on IMDb, apart from "Samberg is very very funny" (Daily Mail) and "Barnstorming turn from Greg Davis" (Metro) found in the picture of the DVD cover. I discovered it via BBC iPlayer in 2015 and I am not impressed, nor am I laughing. But it's not the end of the world - I think everyone involved has gone on to do much better things. It would be tragic not to.

simon3818 If this is a comedy and the comedy of the future GOD HELP US!! I watched this as i like Greg Davies in stand up, Mock the Week and Inbetweeners and gave this a go. 5 episodes in and I'm still waiting for something to be funny. Cuckoo is someone i would happily chuck from a 4 storey building and then disown my daughter for wasting her gap year a, in the USA and b, marrying this idiot and bringing him back to the UK let alone home.Comedies nowadays are making the actual comedy hard to find with this straight lace genre they are producing. Sod that and go back to writing proper situations and gags for the actors to do and the audience to laugh at.If it gets a second series - well there is no hope for anyone.
