Hold the Sunset (2018–2019)
2/10
Cheesy Britcom that's too much like an American Sitcom
16 September 2018
This must have been intended to follow in the footsteps of the other "retirement" comedies out there. Pensioners get ready to sail off into the sunset and enjoy their lives but "Boomerang" kids return home, bringing problems, and supposed laughs. Just doesn't work! The format is just a series of slapstick and one-liners, delivered in a way that has it better suited for a stage play, much like the format used in the days of early TV. Gone are the days of witty writing that dealt with this issue of aging and retirement! This is nothing as subtle, witty or clever like the 90s comedy, "Waiting for God"! I have no idea what the creators were thinking other than the hope that "Star Power" would make it work. They were very, very wrong!
