I'll say it now; Two Pints is probably my all-time favourite TV show ever, as you can tell by the 10 out of 10 rating... But I'm gonna try my hardest to be unbiased in this review.
The brainchild of a young Susan Nickson(she was only 18 when she wrote the first series), and named after the hit Splodgenessabounds song, Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps is the story of 5 mates and their quest for "Fags, Shags and Kebabs" with such subjects of discussion as "Spunk", "Crusty Curtains" and "placenta Flob" It obviously doesn't suit everybody's taste, especially if they are easily offended. This plus the fact that the issues raised in Two Pints that should be considered serious, such as "alcoholism" "adultery" and "homophobia" aren't mentioned in a serious way. This alone is enough proof for the many Two Pints haters out there... but they are all missing the point; It's a sitcom, it's meant to take the mickey out of serious issues and fans of the show will realise that if there is even a hint of seriousness in Two Pints that is where the apparently "horrific" acting skills of the cast come into play... It seems to me the cast act this way on purpose, to stay in character, and it has been documented that they act like children on set (especially Ralf and Will) and it is also known that Two Pints has the most out-takes of all the BBC 3 shows.
Without trying to force people to change their opinions, I honestly think if you are into strange comedies you should watch a few episodes, I showed a friend a few episodes of series 4 earlier today and he even said he enjoyed them, not as much as me but he found it funny... It's definitely worth a watch if you like your comedy on the dodgy side, dodgy in a good way that is.
