rejislam This is a hidden gem from the BBC. It is easy to watch with some very random bizarre and well thought out plots. There was a change in cast of some of the main characters in the show after season 1 which I think was for the best as it only gets better. Best to read as little about it and start watching.

dogonu-215-965738 The first season is excellent. The chemistry is great between all the cast members but after losing half the cast season two and three go off the rails in chemistry and writing. They ruin the whole premise of the show. The first season is a great funny series that works well and they should have left it at that. Instead they tried to create some off the wall story line where Cuckoo's son of some island girl comes back as a type of shaolin monk who falls in love with his step mother. Its too disturbing and not really funny. You may get a few chuckles here and there but over all its DOA. I thought it an American thing to try to keep a dead story going way past its sell by date but the brits have shown they can screw up a good thing as well as the US.

benedwards848 One of my all-time favourite comedies, Cuckoo makes you watch it with a smile on your face, at times makes you laugh uncontrollably but also creates real connections with the characters. Some of the lines are simply priceless, and still make me laugh days after the episode. Series one takes a couple of episodes to get going, but by the third of the series, the characters have all bedded in well and it reaches its potential. I would urge anyone who is unsure after watching one or two episodes to persevere.The second series is arguably even better than the first, with 'Tribunal' in particular one of the funniest episodes of anything I have ever seen. What makes this comedy great is the characters, who all complement each other perfectly. Greg Davies' performance as Ken is a highlight, and Adam Samberg and Taylor Lautner play their wacky, new age characters to perfection and without stealing too much attention, despite their fame.In conclusion, I could not recommend Cuckoo high enough, and would urge anyone to watch it.10/10

dawn-78 Born British and living in the USA, I usually appreciate keeping my cultures separate. However in this case a bit of co-mingling of USA and British comedy works really well.The premise of a really "good" daughter jaunting off with friends and on a whim marrying this man who is so different from her, actually makes sense and of course a great basis for a British Comedy.Greg Davies is brilliant as the bewildered father who week after week cannot fathom what has happened in his household overnight.Andy Samberg is so meant for the role of the hippie, pot smoking, free loving, non-working husband of the "good" daughter.You have to watch all of the episodes as the relationship between father and son-in-law changes and grows, because that's what this series is really about.I loved this and cannot wait for the second series which I heard will air in 2013. Maybe Andy will be able to balance filming Brooklyn Nine-Nine in the USA with a hop back over the pond to continue his evolving relationship with Greg Davies!
