I just read another review of this show and discovered that Ardal O'Hanlon left after the fifth series.Well kudos to that guy and anyone else who could stick with this show for that long.I sure couldn't. When I first discovered this show, I wondered if it was just an excuse to put the cast of Father Ted in a new show.By the time I got to the second series, it was clear that is the case.It's basically just the same jokes over and over and the stories are very predictable.I was never surprised by anything that happened.The first series showed a lot of potential.This show could have been great but they dropped the ball in the second series.The introduction of a ThermoBaby was the worst thing they could have done.And they don't even try to make the baby interesting.His accent is so thick that I have to rewind every time he talks and still only understand half of what he says.Not only does he not add anything to the show, he hurts it big time.Even worse, they expect us to believe that Ultron babies know everything and can talk but they never grow.I have only been able to sit through four series but the baby hasn't grown at all in three years.That's pretty lame.And the joke about George being stupid gets almost unbearable after a few years.The funniest thing about the show is the "American" cousin.He has the stereotypical New York accent and always wears sports teams shirts and jackets.Like that's all they know about America.We wear sports teams clothes and have terrible accents.It's basically the same as an American show having an Irish character that is always sloppy drunk and wears a bowler with a shamrock in the band.Except that American show would be offensive but insulting Americans is fine.Anyway, if you're looking for something to watch every once in a while, this show may do.If you're looking to binge watch, you'll never make it all the way through.Like the I said, it's very average.
