[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 370723, member: 23"] Truthfully, [I]Sykes[/I] feels like a bit of a trudge. It's endearing enough and certainly not without its moments, but it does feel a bit plodding and flat. Perhaps it just hasn't aged well. Or perhaps breaking it up with [I]Brookside[/I] every few episodes isn't doing it any favours. One fascinatingly meta moment came in one of the most recent episodes where Hat settled down to watch television. The theme from [I]Sykes[/I] could be heard playing, prompting this response: It's getting into surrealist territory, but somehow felt exciting at the same time to think there's a British comedy multiverse. Which may explain the plethora of familiar faces playing familiar characterisations in different settings. [/QUOTE]
