channel 4 comedy at its very best! March 31, 2009

Free agents is one of the fantastic shows that you tune into by chance, and then makes you watch it religiously every week (and re-watch it online, and then buy the dvd to re-watch it over and over again when it has expired from 'catch-up').The fact that you instantly fall in love with a geeky looking, family-abandoning talent agent who is giving his co-worker a good seeing to is testiment to both the way the series is written and acted by the excellent cast. br / br /Rather than most tiredsome comedy shows where there is a pointless gag every 30 seconds, free agents tells a blooming good story of the twists and turns love can take. From the beginning it is obvious that 30-something Helen (who's fiance has recently and unexpectedly died from a heart condition)and Alex (who, due to a pre mid life crsis, left his wife and children, despite still madly in love with) will eventually figure it all out together, but you still join in for the ride. br / br /It's impossilbe to single out what makes this series an all-round winner: the sex-obsessed boss who has had more wives than most people have had hot dinners and uses his dishwasher to clean dildos gallore; Helen's almost sister-in-law who can't let go of her brother's (Peter) death to the extent that she names her new baby girl 'Peta'; cringe-worthy Dan who's life revoles around being an agent and pinning to have a go witht he receptionist; or the fact that all the agency become a family for each other when their real family life goes to pot. What is certain is that it will make you laugh, cry, squirm, gasp with horror, and cheer on Helen and Alex to get it together until the very end. The only thing that remains is for the second series to be rolled out as soon as possible.

Great Show May 5, 2009

Took a little while to get into Free Agents but once you get a feel for the dynamics between the 2 lead Actors (Steven Mangan and Sharon Horgan) then it was thoroughly enjoyable. Add to this the dryness of Matt Holness and the absolute vulgarity of Anthony Head it flows very well. br / br /You will not laugh aloud too much but rather enjoy the witty dialog between the lead characters, and the odd but realistic views on the lives of these neurotic adults. br /

Be prepared to laugh (and make sure the kids are definitely not in hearing range - best that they are fast asleep as the language is really funny - but you don't want a 3 year old to start talking like Anthony Head) br /Really great story lines; never quite sure what's going to happen; makes you want to be young free and single again (well not really but you do feel like working in that kind of environment)

Free Agents rocked my world! June 7, 2009
Andrew Rawlinson (UK)
I almost missed this excellent series and discovererd this completely by accident. Okay, so I'm going through a divorce myself, which is what Stephen Mangan's character, Alex, is going through; and the themes do have some dark undertones but this was the tonic I needed! Oh how I laughed! Bring on series 2!!!!

Simply dreadful April 15, 2009

This was a load of foul mouthed rubbish masquerading as a comedy. It wasn't remotely funny. it was crude and offensive. What Anthony Head was doing in this God alone alone knows. It was not a patch on Plus One which occupied that slot on Channel 4 before it. Now that was a brilliant comedy.
