Stath Lets Flats (Series 2)

I can't believe that this bunch of whiners got given a second series. Very little has changed since we left them; and there’s slow development in this one too. It’s still a world where no-one wants to take any responsibility and they all want to live without consequence. The characters are all hopeless and haven’t got much chance when it comes to adapting to change; preferring that the world forgets about them and leaves them alone. They can’t even arrange their own lives so it’s no wonder they’re useless when they try to assist with someone else’s. There’s just no realism. Who calls the landlord to sort the neighbours out? And how can you sit in the middle of a road for four hours without holding anyone up? Are we expected to believe that people are that ignorant? There are also weird and unnecessary moments of emphasis which are annoying rather than humorous. It’s therefore not surprising that they can’t get on with ordinary people. It’s refreshing to see Dean stand up as he refuses to take the shit laid down by everyone else. But the whole thing is just surreal.
