Walmart has actually come through for once. Though I totally nicked the last copy in the store (actually, I think it was the only copy the store had, period, but whatever)
I'm hooked. Damnit! I just spent six episodes glued to the screen being absolutely entranced by how marvelously wonderfully amazing this show is. I already want series two. Why are there only eight episodes? Whhhy???
Everyone who recommends this show is right.
My mother was hooked to it as well, and it's so rare to find something we both love now a days. I think it helped that the one time she visited the UK was in 1973. So she just keeps pointing at things and nodding.
I've only got two problems with it:
One: I love Simm's character to bits, but every so often he step over the boundary into preachey-obnoxious land, and I just want to give him a smack.
and
Two: I keep picturing him in dress and laughing inappropriately, causing my mother to give me strange looks.

I'm intrigued though, by the idea of seeing the LoM team working without Sam, because one of the things I thought was clever about the show was how Sam was ALWAYS on screen and you never saw anything he didn't (well... except when he was high that one time...). But given Annie's comment in the first episode about how, if she didn't exist, then she must blink out of existence every time she left the room... yes. Very well played by the production team.
(must've been a lot of work for Simm though, making me even more impressed with his acting skillz).
And Gene is fantastic. I think my room mate has made the same mistake. She stumbled in on him making some awful racist comment, as he does, and she was all :O
Now I need her to actually watch the show and find context.
