I really want to like Green Wing. I like the cast. I like the writers. Everyone seems to like it.
But I’ve watched three episodes of the first series and Friday’s episode of the latest series and I’ve barely laughed once. I simply don’t find it funny. I must be missing something. So could someone please, please, please explain to me what I’m missing, so I can join in?
Thanks.
