Reviews for Miranda series
“Flat-out funniest thing on television”–Heat, 4 Stars
“…The main source of the comedy in Miranda is that she is a human
stegosaurus, huge and hugely unfanciable, which as others have noted is
politically not very correct. And if political incorrectness isn't reason enough
on its own to love Miranda, there are plenty of other reasons, not least, in our
house anyway, that it is the first new primetime sitcom I can recall that
unites the whole family, all laughing our socks off.” Independent UK
“On paper, Miranda sounds ghastly…And yet Miranda is brilliant.
It’s a laughout- loud smash, coming to DVD as a critical and ratings hit,
festooned with awards and with a second series imminently hitting screens. After
showy supporting turns in Lee Mack’s one-liner-laden Not Going Out and the
not-excellent Hyperdrive with Nick Frost, this eponymous show is star Miranda
Hart’s moment in the spotlight. And it’s her comic timing, sense of
physical comedy (she falls over a lot, but you try doing that and making it
funnier each time…) and sheer, industrial-strength likeability that make this
show the success it is…Like all the best sitcoms, the episodes are
well-constructed enough to have great re-watch value and the supporting and
guest cast are an A-team of small-screen talent, from Patricia Hodge (“Such
fun!” as Miranda’s exasperating Mother) and Smack The Pony’s Sally
Phillips to, in one episode, a wonderfully slimy performance from early-’80s
Doctor Who star Peter Davison…Such fun!” Total Film
