Reception
The show has been likened to Curb Your Enthusiasm and Alan Partridge. Front Row called the show "Seinfeld in North London". The Times of Israel compared the character of Paul Green to Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm and John Cleese's Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers.
The show was scheduled to appear in British Airways' in-flight entertainment offerings starting in December 2023. Due to the 2023 Israel–Hamas War, it was pulled from the schedule, with an explanation of maintaining neutrality. After an uproar about antisemitism, the airline apologized for the misstep, and rescheduled it for January 2024.
Both series were released by Peacock in the USA in April 2024. The New York Post said it was "outrageous, unflinching and funny — but never predictable."
