Series three arrives today, after a delay due to the pandemic and the packed schedules of its increasingly in-demand cast. Which fans have had to, because the brilliant second series which won all the awards Bafta could give it, aired all the way back in summer 2019. It’s the TV equivalent of void-fill foam starch packing peanuts technically edible but with zero nutritional value.Īnd then there’s Stath Lets Flats, a comedy so rich in nutrients you could live off it for well over a year. There’s every appearance of a joke, but nothing inside, just a vacuum where a joke might go. There are rhythmic set-ups and punch lines and pauses for laughter, but what’s being said is… words. As you’ll know if you haven’t set your Netflix account to stop autoplaying previews, a lot of comedy writing isn’t really comedy writing at all, but writing in the shape of comedy.
