Completely engaging. Intelligent scripts. Seamless acting. Superlative television of which there is too little.

Not even the British accents can class up this drivel. Eddie Redmayne's performance ranged between laryngitis-sounding barely audible mumbles to Tourettes verbal bursts. I hope he does not drift into the disappointing path of Oscar winners who then give up on their talent and maintain the delusion that everything they do is brilliant. Remember Narcissus, Eddie.

It was truly awful, tasteless and missed the mark. In trying to make an ironic send up of romantic comedies, it arrived at a place neither romantic or comedic. So many talented actors were wasted. It was an overextended SNL sketch on a bad night. Did the actors owe the director money? Why did they sign on in the first place? Lost a bet?
