First episode was alright but really comes across as a poor man's Newstopia and with a number of actors from that show too.

As someone who has followed his career since his Uni days, and even once had the absolute pleasure of working with him of radio I am an unashamed massive fan. BUT this was really disappointing to me. More Micallef and less comic actors please. The fake street interview thing is passe, and below Micallef's usually high standard, as is the interviews with suppossed party members. It had a slight "Backberner" feel to it (shudder).

Tonight's episode was definitely the best so far. Shaun seems to be in his groove now. And more Francis Greenslade is always good!

I was actually just about to do a post about how the show seems to have really found it's groove now and that the last two episodes have been hilarious.

Great minds, LL ;)

Decent return episode for 2013.

Mr & Mrs Murder afterwards on Ten wasn't that bad either.
