Keith is a recovering alcoholic in his mid-thirties, struggling to get things right as he makes his way through his new life being sober. Our Review: This fairly slow placed sitcom wasn't laugh-a-minute stuff, but there's was some enjoyment to be had from it. Watching Keith get himself into awkward social situations was amusing (like spilling coffee on a corpse). But in the end the problem at the heart of this comedy - like many others - was that, as an audience, we didn't end up feeling particularly sorry for Keith. |
