Plot: Mr Bigstuff follows two estranged brothers; Glen (Sampson), a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live a suburban ideal and Lee (Dyer), an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a tin full of their dad’s ashes.
Series 1 of Mr Bigstuff was okay.
Pros: The chemistry of Danny Dyer & Ryan Sampson might be enough to sale you this show alone. It got a laughing a good few-times. A ton of solid comedy performances from the main leads & the ending did a good job setting up for series continue into series 2.
Cons: A lot of lee’s enemies won’t developed. The main plot felt reality generic & Danny’s character does felt to much like his real-life personality.
