View Full Version : 'Miranda' opinions?
I ****ing love this woman and show.
I've been re-watching the whole thing, and I love it :love:
She does lack subtlety at times, but it's just SUCH FUN. One problem I have is that (and yes I know I'm taking this childish sitcom too seriously) is that some characters were ruined in the final series and subsequent specials. Stevie, Tilly and Miranda's mum become a bit too 'silly' when their charm in the early series was how much of a tit they made Miranda look. Also the whole Gary/Mike storyline is ****ing unrealistic, and makes me hate Gary...
But objectively, this show is bloody funny and improves my life.

Ugh the Gary drama in the final specials is so tedious. They went round in circles so many times with the Gary storyline from the middle of Series 2 onwards and they MUST drop it if/when it returns for Series 4.

Gary was hot
It did what all shows do and made the characters way more extreme versions of their original selves as the series went on. Series 3 is unwatchable for me but 1 and 2 are fab.

I actually found Series 3 the most funny on this re-watch? Maybe it's cos I've seen it less. All seasons are fab though. Just some problems with S3.

Like yourself and Cal have said I adored 1/2 (must’ve watched both numerous times) but it lost it’s charm by S3. I was bored of the whole Gary scenario by then and the specials... don’t even get me started.

Penny is the best character though? Are we all in agreement?
Never really watched it, I have caught the odd bit of it, and it doesn't look like my cup of tea. Although I do like that she shows respect for the traditional sitcom.
There are exeptions, but I don't think women in general are that funny, particularly a show written by a woman. with a female dominant cast. Victoria Wood's "Dinnerladies" would be an exeption and I like Derry Girls too.
I might get around to giving it a chance one day.

I haven't seen it but I watched her stand up DVD and it was great, I was crying with laughter at some of it.

Tilly <3
All four of the chicks are fab though. Why did Miranda, her mum, Stevie and Tilly become like a posse in Series 3? SOme of Hart's decisions just don't make sense. Part of Tilly's charm was her popping into Miranda's life every so often and judging tf outta her, and Miranda being triggered by her school memories.

Not my cup of tea at all, I have to turn the TV over every time the show/Miranda herself comes on. Annoying, overly-posh and daft.

It was amazing.
The montages in this finale are unnecessary.

The counselling episode is a masterpiece.
Those finales were relatively awful, but my eyes did get wet at Miranda's final goodbye to the viewers :(

Love this show. Netflix has all three series.
I haven't seen it but I watched her stand up DVD and it was great, I was crying with laughter at some of it.
If you liked the standup, you'd ****ing adore the series. I thought the standup was terrible compared to the series.
Also Clive’s actor was clearly not comfortable in the role in the slightest.

It is quite funny in a very music hall way. Bit like Keeping up Appearances but not as good. I dont hate it and would be happy to see it back

It can be interesting sometimes as to what men find funny and what women find funny on average.
I've not seen Miranda, but I imagine that it could head down the Drama route quite quickly and forget about it's Comedy side like alot of Comedies have done over the years.

Sorry to say but the only good thing about this show was Gary - Tom Ellis
I find the script embarrassing her acting makes me want to throw things at the tv all in all a show I avoid
again sorry.. just not my cup of tea at all
