Paul Holmes, The Velvet Onion, 2nd February 2017Review - The Maydays: Happily Never After
While there were a reasonable smattering of laughs from bona fide funny lines, the show relies more for its amusement on a sense of strangeness and the occasional struggles of its talented cast with their ad-hoc logic.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2nd February 2017TV preview: This Country
This first episode of six is nominally about the annual village scarecrow competition, but is actually a bawdy sort of Dickensian romp with a satisfyingly violent twist. It isn't in fact as hog-whimperingly amusing as the later episodes, but it's still worth summoning up on your tablet. So my strong advice is to stick with the series.
