Standout Aspects

Acting

Stephen Mangan's masterclass in anxious fidgeting.

Writing

Best for:Solo: Watch alone to cringe-laugh at your own bad decisions.·Date Night: Only if you want to discuss 'what's wrong with you?'

Trivia

Director Col Spector made this for roughly £500k after his documentary background, explaining the painfully authentic naturalism.

Cultural

This bombed in 2006 but predicted the 'sad man in London' genre that Fleabag and Catastrophe would later perfect — just with way more male entitlement.
