I remember watching the original when I was a kid and enjoying it.
A remake seemed a reasonable idea, then I saw who was starring in it and my heart sank. I had never been a fan of Reeves and Mortimer - I just didn't get their humour.
This series casme as a bit of a revelation, I love it. Okay, okay, the two are not the greatest of actors, but they have charm and appeal in this.
Entertaining, silly, quite dark at times, just don't look for great depth or meaning and you'll be fine.
Well produced and some (I think) pretty good story lines.
Sit back with a glass of something and just go with the flow.
