Goss.ie, 3rd March 2015Judging by the opener of this 1991-set third series, Chris O'Dowd's generally endearing sitcom seems to be leaning heavily on its retrospective premise for its jokes. As young Martin visits his uncle in Dublin, where he sells encyclopedias with a hefty dose of dramatic irony ("the greatest information resource the world will ever see"), parents Debra and Liam go away to celebrate their anniversary, only to bump into the latter's youth-obsessed old flame. Cue confusion over newfangled things such as yoga and raving.
