5.0 out of 5 stars TEAAAAAAA, 26 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This original pilot series is a brilliantly funny sitcom that appealed to the twentysomething generation of the mid nineties.Matthew, Mandy and Martin are three twentysomethings who share a flat in London, Mandy and Martin both work but Matthew does'nt need to, as his parents are both deceased and he lives off their inheritance. He also has phobia of the outside world so he never leaves the flat and therefore spends his days finding ways of amusing himself in the daytime, which essentially is how the series works. The episode 'Matthew a suitable case for treatment' will make you look at Reservoir Dogs and Taxi Driver in a whole new light! The subsequent series were never quite as good, as the star Ben Chaplin (Matthew) went on to bigger and better things in Hollywood. His replacement Neil Stuke never quite captured the cool,sarcastic and bored character of the original Matthew quite as well. This is definately one to watch when you are bored and having a sickkie at home

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't get enough !!, 11 Nov 2003
By Vanessa "(Percey)" (PERSAN France) - See all my reviews
This show extraordinary !! I can't recall how many times I have watched the episodes and I am still laughing so much. I can't get enough !! When will the other seasons be on DVD !!
All the actors are so great and the stories are really one of a kind. I've never ever seen anything like this before. No-one would take it first degree, the topics are mainly about sex and pushing the subject to extreme but in a very unusual way. Well I am French and I have to admit (!!) that I love the British for daring this kind of show !
Everyone should buy this DVD and help me get the other seasons on DVD right away !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars James' Review On Game On first series, 16 May 2003
By Mr. J. Bulgin "bulge2003" (hastings, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is Defiently a must have! I Have this on VHS and DVD because it's a classic series. In my view the later series are the best ones But still deserves 5 out of 5! You have three 20 somethings flatmates who all lead different lives, Matthew who Is scared of going outside, Mandy who basically S**gs any bloke in her path (haha) and Martin who works in a bank and gets depressed easily. The first series looks at basically mandy trying to get a decent job, Martin making cups of tea (TEEEAAA!) and Matthew who's at home doing his impressions i.e. Clint Eastwood, Bob Deniro and (Bruce Willace holding a fish - think that ones in a later series but still funny)
This is the classic sitcom you dont get to day and you can watch them over and over and wont get tired or bored watching them. They are a must have!
'Do u feel lucky punk well do ya!'

enjoy

James
