Anyway, it's been a brilliant year so far! I have been knifed by bogus insurance schemes twice or more, spat back their shit, and made them grovel in their own splattering bloody lies. I also discovered that my family is a mad lot, and I love them all. XOXOX
It is a year of contrasts. I moved to greener pastures that really is greener than the previous one. I am flourishing beautifully in my new location. Creativity is celebrated rather than stifled, the staff are accepting and considerate, but most importantly, they are MAD. Mad through and through, because normality is a disease of the hypocrites.
After I have spent last year guzzling up Archer S4, I don't think there are more series out there that can come close to its comedic timing or even match its inappropriateness.
I was wrong.
Introducing Vicious. When you click on the link, it will redirect you to the itv player where you may watch it for free. You may need to register and the whole bunch...
I heard it when Sir McKellen made an appearance in Loose Women and he mentioned about this new series he had been shooting with his close friend, Sir Jacobi. "Originally it was called Vicious Old Queens..." and that intrigued me to no end.
I finally watched it in May and it became a cure to my blues. I had hoped that there were more, but there are only six episodes. However, there has been a confirmation about a Christmas special tweeted about, and that would be enough. NOT.
I don't give a damn about critics who panned this little series, and I won't even start with those who claim this series does nothing but crank out horrible gay stereotypes like horridly stinking secret meat sausages. It may not have the most original script, neither does it break any new territory, but the laughter it brings is all that counts for me. Which is saying a lot because I am not even British.
By the way, the laughter heard in the series are genuine. You cannot record hesitant laughing (I think) or honest-to-goodness audience laughing their heads off. The series are recorded in front of a live audience.
