Dull comedy drama with no laughs - avoid
A man with a conflict avoidance condition is rejected by his partner and runs away with their son to stay with his sister and her girlfriend at the seaside.
I'm not sure where they are going with the premise, its billed as a comedy but feels more like a comedy/drama serial. Its a tricky genre and this show doesn't succeed in pulling it off. Its very short on laughs and the dramatic premise isn't convincingly enacted.
The pacing was also poor - the pilot really dragged, it felt like a weak episode of 'Doctors' without a pay-off. Overall the story was dull and the protagonist was passive and boring. A fail for me I'm afraid, if you call something a comedy it needs to be funny.
