This show is hilarious! I'm sure it's not for everyone but in my view it's a real loss for those who don't get it. All the characters remind me of people you come across in London, as do the crap Flats rented at horribly high prices, and the awkward and quirky humour is brilliant.

Funniest thing I have ever seen

My boyfriend and I came across this literally by accident when flicking through and we were crying with laughter in the first five minutes
We went back to watch from the beginning and we have not laughed at any other series like we have on this one... Sofie and Al are gems and Stath is so memorable... we have even started speaking like him. You wont regret it.

One of the great British comedies - an instant classic.

I can see why it's divisive, it's very much a 'comedians comedy' - but unlike many other shows that fall under that umbrella, this isn't remotely self-indulgent. Jamie Demetriou is this generations Steve Coogan and, much like Partridge, the priority from the creator/performer is self-evident - first and foremost, be relentlessly funny.
Barely a second passes in this masterpiece without a physical moment, an aside or just something someone does with their eyes to induce absolute fits of rolling laughter. It's certainly more niche than Partridge, but is all the more enjoyable - and original - for it.
Every performance is spot on. There isn't a bum note in any episode, and there is ALWAYS something hilarious happening in every frame, so repeat viewings are a MUST!
If it clicks with you like it did with me? You'll have your new favourite TV show.
A brilliant, completely original comedy - the finest British comedy since Peep Show, and thoroughly deserving of every accolade it's received. I'm just sad it's over.

Starts off good, then great, and ends up being brilliant. Very 90s feel to this comedy that you don't really see on tv anymore. Reminds me of Father Ted I don't know why. Thank god this type of comedy (with no agenda) is still being shown this day and age.
Wow

Great piece of comedy. Ok it's not to everyone taste and some people think it's cheap and tacky humour but it really isn't. You just don't get what the writer is getting at. It's extremely cleverly written and that is why it was recognised for the awards. I really hope JAmie isn't done with this and we get to see some
More. Best thing I've seen on British tv in a while.
Good

Created by and starring Jamie Demetriou, Stath Lets Flats follows the extremely awkward Stath, along with his sister Sophie (Natasia Demetriou), and their father at the Michael & Eagle Lettings agency, their struggling family business in London. Over 3 seasons we follow the stumblings of Stath and the other agents, his family and small cast of friends, its quite good and funny. Primarily built on Jamie's awkward, bumbling type comedy if you already like that style you'll love this. Natasia is great, I hadn't even realized she was Jamie's real sister prior to this show. Relatively short at only 18 episodes over 3 seasons (though normal for BBC), the show was funny through its whole run, I'll always look forward to more of the Demetrious' humour, would recommend.

What a funny programme.
Can't believe the unfair reviews slating this comedy.
It's a cross between the office and Ali. G. If you don't like those shows then you may not like this one. I loved both and totally get the comedy.

Come on, it's pretty funny-in a cringe kind of way

Stath is so bad that it is funny. He pretty much has no filter and no idea what he's doing and please don't dance ever again
The opening credits actually remind me of greek tv-makes me chuckle(sorry!). Okay, nineties greek tv..
It's really not so bad!

One dimensional
buntyonline1 September 2021
It started strong. First four episodes were outrageously hilarious with some nice laugh out loud moments. But after that it slithers down to mediocre. There are no nice things happening in anyone's life. Al is oddly weak minded, and Sophie is severely weird. If none of the episodes end up with a happy note, you can't really call it comedy, innit? This is not dark comedy or sattire like A Doctor's Notebook.
Characters do not redeem themselves ever. I do not want to feel sorry for each of them. Sophie and Al's conversations were downright boring. There are no feel good moments. My Name is Earl also had dim witted odd characters. But they were all lovable and every episode ended with a good note. There are no situation specific comedies after ep 4, rather idiocies of Stath and co.
Neither Stath nor Sophie spoke in Greek at emotional highs or lows. Giving them the Cyprus immigrant angle just does not cut it, if there are no references to it. Acting wise they were all top notch, but the plot is messy and all over the place.

It's really not good
chrisrowexxx2 November 2021
It's repetitive, same humour " oh I say words in wrong order" "oh I said words in wrong way to make it funny"... it's just kinda boring, the humour just falls flat, there aren't people like this in real jobs, they need to reel it in a bit and it could be fun, the girls especially are garbage, Natasha is good in wwdits so she can act.
Don't get why so much bad tv exists now. I hate giving stuff 1/10 but there's nothing here, no story, humour or script. Just morons trying to please the morons who watch it, it's made for Impressions and clipping so stupid social media generation can concentrate with their minute long attention span.

Genius show if you are familiar with these kinds of north London characters and dysfunctional small family businesses. It's really about Stath, his family and colleagues not the flats.
Brilliant characterisations and attention to detail of mannerisms, pronounciations, mangled turns of phrase, and class and family dynamics.
Another one to add comedy high street alongside Phoneshop and Job Lot.

This is not original but it is genius!
gregsp-402-15482419 September 2019
Comedy is very devisive and this is definitely one of those comedies that will either really hit the mark or you just won't get it!
Slightly mockumentary, awkward and cringy at times this really does make me laugh out loud.
Series 1 is good but series 2 steps it up a level.
If you don't get this then you're probably in the Mrs browns boys gang, this has a level of intellect about it so won't appeal to some.
Cringe Comedy - few funny moments
gio_a_rollo26 July 2018
I was overall disappointed following what looked like a good concept from the adverts. It would have been better to have created the character in a sketch show (there are some funny moments and potential with main character) rather than drag it out into 6 seamlessly pointless episodes.
The main character Stath and his sister are basically complete imbecile, which the latter is really annoying. I also couldn't help but feel it was very offensive and derogatory towards Greeks!

Give it a chance!

I feel like a lot of the reviews barely gave it a chance. I think it takes 2-3 eps to get into the vibe of these characters, but I absolutely fell in love with them. Would i want to know or deal with any of these people in real life? No! But it makes for a hilarious and oddly sweet show.
Please help me appreciate this

Halfway season 2 and still hoping and hoping for it to get funny. I love the concept and had high hopes. Haven't we all met met completely useless and irritating real estate agents? To me this could have been an Office-like mockumentary. But it just never gets going. Maybe it is because it is so over the top. Or maybe because some characters (like the boring-you-to-death Sophie) are horribly irritating. I read comparisons of Jamie Demetriou with Steve Coogan. Well, not in a hundred years. I also see other reviews that say that season 3 is the best. I'll try to get that far, but can't make any promises.
HILARIOUS!

Expected a "comedy" to be funny
cathalmd6 July 2018
Maybe I saw the least funny episode of the lot but I found it ridiculously poor. Trying to be similar to the humour of The Office in a way and failing miserably. Annoyingly predicable. Makes Mrs Brown's Boys look funny
brilliant

Brilliantly Crazy
Domremyuk10 October 2020
I was looking for something to watch and I often give a show 10 minutes or so and decide if I want to continue. 5 minutes into Stath Let's Flats and I was sold! I binged both seasons in 2 days. Stath is likeable idiot and I just have no idea how the actor can create such an original character, I burst out laughing many times. The whole cast is brilliant. Highly recommended!
Gentle, brilliantly written comedy
