After their fantastic pilot I was seriously looking forward to Ellie White & Natasia Demetriou's full show and it doesn't disappoint. The two have this brilliantly confident foolishness about them that's utterly irresistible. The little 15 minute-episode series isn't messing about, and often will just have little clutters of stock photos for no reason or the two of them standing around bored in inexplicable costumes. It doesn't feel like it wastes a second of time and some of the sketches have these gloriously weird twist punchlines which imbue the whole endeavour with a strong sense of "we're doing this for the sole reason that it makes us laugh". I would definitely recommend this as a first time succulent.

Delightfully daft

For anyone who has a hole in their soul after the third (possibly final?) season of Stath Lets Flats, Sophie and Katia have a slightly bonkers sketch show feat. The actors who play Stath, Dean, and more. I'm honestly surprised this got commissioned - not because it's bad, but because it's significantly weirder than most of the comedy that gets allowed on mainstream telly. Hopefully Ellie & Natasia will get the recognition it deserves. Certainly not for everyone but if you loved Stath Lets Flats and want some low effort laughs, you'll probably be a fan of this.
Season 2 please

Very very funny, was searching for something else since stath let's flats and this humour perfectly fills that void and more! Ellie and Natasia are effortlessly funny and I really hope this gets another season! The two moms sketch bits are absolutely hilarious and myself and my partner were audibly laughing throw out each episode.
It was also a huge delight getting some of the cast from Sarah and fleabag as part of this too!
I highly recommend this is you are a fan of fleabag or stath let's flats or peep show as it appeals to that side of our humour in my opinion.
More of this please! We would love a season two!

Just watched episode 1 and... meh.
I love What We Do in The Shadows and adore Natasia's character, so I was really looking forward to this. She was funny in Stath Lets Flats, albeit in small bits. Her bit on Toast was only so-so.
Here, so far, her bored smirk gets boring fast. Bits and pieces are definitely funny, but the skits are never instant classics. The music video about p u s s y was funny for a a minute, but then it dragged on into a full length song that overstayed its welcome.
I was hoping that this would fill time while I await more Shadows, but I'm not impressed. I'll definitely keep watching and hope it improves. Although, I'm more likely to re-watch Toast at this point: It's infinitely funnier.

Worst sketch show ever

This is not worth watching at all unless you have a really silly/childish sense of humour.
I watched the BBC comedy "the other one" (which was very good thanks to Lauren Socha) and Ellie White was in that so I thought I would give this a go....... I wasted 20 minutes of my life watching this tripe.
Nothing funny about it at all, I just found the whole thing very cringe.
Catherine Tate is much better and even some of them are just about passable, if you have any sense stay away from this rubbish!
IMDB are trying to get me to write more than 600 characters but I really have nothing more to say about this rubbish.
How in gods name this even made it on to TV in the first place is beyond me but each to their own I suppose.

Ellie is a passable actress, not gifted at comedy and ND got lucky with shadows but literally everything else she's hideous in, whether it's on countdown or the awful stath let's flats she's just awful. Unfunny and just woefully inept. This show is utter garbage.
Unluckily by accident!!

I was channel hopping after watching a movie and turned on BBC1, Ellie and Nat had just started. After a few minutes it suddenly dawned on me that this was meant to be a comedy sketch show, it is definitely not. I watched till the end never once laughing or even raising a smile (raised my eyebrows plenty of times though). The so called jokes were not funny (at all) the so called comedians were not likable (at all) the extras were even terrible (maybe even they new how bad the script was, so didn't try but needed a paycheck).
What has happened BBC, your sketch shows used to be great (The fast show, Harry Enfield and Chums, Little Britain to name a few), this is probably the worst piece of garbage I have ever seen.
I do have to apologize, I stated that I never raised a smile (not so) as the end credits came up, a voice over informed the public that this was the last episode in the series, sorry again I did smile.
Please do not give these people funding for a new series, no one give them a wage, and if they walk into another studios office with this on their C. V , PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, SHOW THEM THE DOOR!!!!
