I do like Miranda Hart and think she's funny, and I enjoyed the first series (or was it two?) of Miranda. This time it is seeming a bit tired and predictable, and that squeaky sidekick of hers in the show really irritates me!
some people find her funny no doubt - but I expect I am allowed to disagree and not be the only one. perhaps because I remember old time slapstick comedy, the carry on films and Frankie Howerd's asides to the audience I get a distinct sense of deja vu. There are lots of non-malevolent comedy shows on which are not quite so predictable. I stand by my previous comment re The Big Bang Theory which while American is not malevolent, is well scripted and very funny.
She is so highly rated because she makes people laugh... The show is a return to the less malevolent entertainment of the past, a more traditional relationship with an audience.
annodomini yes my teeth are twitching to. I think it is the predictability of the slapstick, the facial expressions and the script. She is better as an actress/actor in my opinion. glad it is not just me who wonders why she is so highly rated in her sitcom.
I really like her, the show is a bit slapstick, she does fall off chairs and fences a bit too often, and it does meander into the realms of silliness quite a bit, but on the whole she makes me laugh and Miranda has a feel good factor about it and sometimes that's all you want.
We always watch it and laugh our heads off and I'm sure I could hear my grandaughter cheering all the way from Gosport when Miranda finally got together with Gary. We then watched Lewis on +1 and found ourselves cheering when Lewis finally got together with Laura the pathologist. A good night for romance
tried to watch her show but cannot find it funny - depends on your sense of humour I suppose. Now the early series of The Big Bang Theory (before they seemed to lose the very funny script-writing and introduced the 'women') that has me laughing out loud (rare for me as it disconcerts the dog )
I`ve never watched Miranda, although after seeing clips from the shows, I wish I had, hopefully they`ll all be repeated. I think she`s great on Call the Midwife.
