You can applaud the ambition while wishing they had reined themselves in just a little more and made sure the whole was properly fit for purpose – and the showcase Cooper and Hizli certainly deserve.
-
Am I Being Unreasonable? is far from bad TV. I just wish it had been given more time to tell a complete story, with a perceptible middle, beginning and end. I hope three series down the line, I’m eating my words.
-
The series' tonal quirks and imbalances may be off-putting to some – the darkness of some subject matter right from the off is gripping but jarring – but it's in the scenes between mother and son that sitcom fans may find themselves most at home.
-
It’s a showcase for many of the same performance traits that make Cooper so watchable in Rain Dogs and it’s a fully engaging show to follow and attempt to figure out. At the same time, it’s a show that, in its attempts to be structurally ambitious, undermines its emotional core. It’s a story of two friends bound by complementary trauma that’s too often turned into a guessing game.
