Hmmm....

Not as good as I expected. I thought that this would be a great show that would have me laughing out loud at every sketch. I simply adore any show that takes the p*ss out of the government and celebrities which is why I had such high expectations of this show. I'm not saying its a total disaster, far from it, it is indeed quite funny. It just doesn't live up to expectations. The impersonations are hilariously accurate, however the scripts let it down a great deal. Better scripts would equal a brilliant show. I hope this review does not sound like I am totally slamming the show as I do not wish to do that. I would just advise people not to expect something fabulous. :)
