shannen-l-c 'Two Pints' is hardly the show of the century and outside of the UK I doubt anyone would understand or enjoy the humour, but I love it for everything it is. The humour is very hit or miss, and sometimes too childish or exaggerated, but the rest of the time it has me laughing out loud. What makes 'Two Pints' stand out to me is the fact that it's so honest. It doesn't shy away from anything, no matter how detestable it might be to others. Many of the jokes are filthy, there's open prostitution, alcoholism as a culture, scamming of the benefits system and many more things that other shows refuse to explore but that are very much present all over the UK. The characters are all hugely flawed, underachievers that are lacking in ambition, intelligence and integrity, but they're all endearing and relatable on some level, because they're just trying to do the best with what they have and know. 'Two Pints' needs to be taken and enjoyed for what it is. It's simple, it's flawed but it's funny and authentic and provides some light-hearted comic relief that's perfect for helping you to leave your worries behind for half an hour.

petersaarloos The fact that I feel a 5 is a decent score for this sitcom surprises me, because when I objectively sum up what this sitcom has to offer, it's nothing at all.First off, there's still a laughing machine. For a sitcom that is obviously meant for Britten's youth, this seems unnecessarily old school, which makes it kinda obvious they put it in to point out the jokes. I tried imaging the sitcom without it and realized that most of the jokes would probably pass you, because they're so shallow, simple or immature.The acting isn't too smashing either. It's nicely hidden by the thick accent of the cast, but the lack of quality still shimmers through every now and then.Aside from that, the jokes are often plain and simple. Most of the characters have no depth whatsoever, which makes them easy for producing jokes, but makes the show all the more shallow.I am, of course, summing up the bad parts and there surely must be some good parts, otherwise it wouldn't have kept me watching long enough to figure all this out, but I just can't put my finger on them.The only thing I could call for is that the setting is somewhat original, a couple of young people with thick accents who go to bars, but the originality is completely annihilated by the annoying laughing machine, that makes me feel as if this is supposed to be a "back to the past" sitcom.So I pass this sitcom. It has nothing to offer at all.

winstonfg I just turned 50, so I find it amazing that I like this program so much. It's crude and juvenile (perhaps not surprising, as writer Susan Nickson was only 19 when it started) and the acting is sometimes wooden; but it really does grow on you after a while, and there are some genuinely funny moments. The young cast are likable and have bags of energy, and the acting does get better as the series goes on. Maybe it's the British heritage of naughty postcards and 'Carry On' movies, but I'd far prefer to watch this lot than the sugary-sweet 'Friends'.It's also spawned some of the best out-take shows you'll ever see.

kerrinotts i had seen a few of two pints of lager in Spain while on holiday and in my second week to be honest i couldn't wait to get home to buy them, i have got them all now and watch them over and over again i just love the like when Gaz finds out his long lost brother is munch, how great was that. munch to is a good character. its not all about sex. you must watch series 3 with the musical that is so great. and the saddest one was when Johnny gets shot by the police for Louise making changes on his record that to was funny but a little unfair. i cried my eyes out. i have got to buy the last series which is series 6 and i can not wait as I'm so sure it will keep me laughing for hour on end with all the jokes.
