    The Pilot has me ROLLING. The two female leads are revelations, and the jilted male fiancee is so gnarly, so gross, and he nails the performance perfectly. This is a must-watch series so far, in my opinion.

    Julia Davis on HBO? Yes!
    I have a feeling this show will be misunderstood by a US audience. For the rest of us, hooray, more classic Julia Davis on the small screen. This show is right up there with her past gross-out style but after watching the first three episodes it's promising to be her best yet.

    If you like comedy that makes you uncomfortable and wonder 'should I laugh here?' and laugh, then Julia Davis is for you. Some elements will make you cringe and look away from the screen, but you are compelled to keep watching to see if that was just a 'oneoff'.

    All her work is based on the mayhem a sociopath can reap on the weak and those in need of some sort of recognition.

    Brilliant observation of human nature.    … Expand

    I'm a fan of everything Julia Davis has created upto now. I thought that her most recent series, Camping, was probably her best. For anyone who hasn't seen it, the HBO remake of Camping is poor in comparison. I'm two episodes into SALLY4EVER and I have to say that I'm decidedly underwhelmed.

I'm two episodes into SALLY4EVER and I have to say that I'm decidedly underwhelmed. Unlike Nighty Night, Hunderby, or Camping, the atmosphere created in the show is not nearly surreal enough to sustain the inexplicable behaviour of such straight-laced characters. I take no pleasure in saying it, but this is Julia Davis-by-numbers; it resembles her best work, but there's none of their originality, and none of the care taken to create a world in which her characters make any sort of sense.… Expand

    Julia Davis impressively keeps believable the more outrageous she gets. All this is imbued with the muted, knowing style of humor the Brits love so much and do so well, and fans of that style will enjoy this to bits.

    Sally4Ever isn’t necessarily bursting apart established conventions, but some moments challenge a person’s appetite. Although Davis draws our focus with her character’s outrageous selfishness, Shepherd is tasked with carrying Sally4Ever simply by reacting to all the attention in a way any sensible person would. ... Her subdued performance is a welcome counterbalance to Emma’s audacious egomania and David’s simpering foolery.

    Potentially cataclysmic. I’m not certain U.S. viewers are--or will ever be--ready. ... The funniest moments in Sally4Ever, though, tend to be not so outrageous. They’re the way Emma pronounces “Pilates” (pill-ah-tez), and the face Sally makes watching David’s a cappella group sing George Michael’s “Faith,” and the robotic selfie stick that appears in one scene out of nowhere. ... These interludes aren’t scandalizing so much as hilarious and horrifying in equal measure, just like Davis intended.
