Chris P @czarship 2d Fresh cast / writers with a number of stand-out actors already. George Fouracres is incredible. Musical guests sound noticeably better than in the US show, likely due to much better soundstage acoustics. It somehow reminds me of earlier seasons of SNL US. It's surreal and surprisingly digestible as a viewer from across the pond. The impressions and character work are great, which is something I've grown tired of in the American show. Let this show cook! See more Ryan W @RW2026 4d Far too young of a cast as a whole with no seasoned comics to help lead the way. Also, it was a terrible decision to have Tina Fey as the series opener host. They really should have had a legendary comic as a host to open the first episode. See more Bill K @BDKowalski 5d The UK version of SNL is a pleasant surprise, a gust of fresh air spun off from a 50+ year old show. As expected, the jokes at times refer to people, events and UK culture Americans likely know little about. The cast is fresh and enthusiastic. The jokes mostly land, although the first two episode have a couple gags which don’t quite hit. Mere teething pains, imo. Some iconic characters, such as Princess Di (portrayed brilliantly by Jack Shepard, a good bet for a future breakout star), won big laughs and will be back. To my surprise, the musical guests have been better than any we’ve heard in the USA version in years. They were unfamiliar to me, but I came away thinking they were worth further checking out. That’s a sensation I’ve never had after watching a live musical act on our SNL. This SNL is not on the same schedule as ours. It was a treat to find during our two week spring break from the show that there were brand new episodes of the UK version waiting to fill the gap.

Bad music acts, BAD hosts, and REALLY bad sketches. Where is the great british comedy, nowhere near this brain dead show. See more Frank M @RT77508370 Mar 28 It harkens back to the essence of what made SNL so great in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Super smart writing, fresh young cast member’s and Tina Fey leading the charge on a new frontier. Wet Leg’s front woman commands a stage like no rock star I’ve seen in recent memory. Give this a watch! See more Adam I @RT33395118 Mar 26 I’ve always enjoyed shows that mix comedy with sharp social commentary, and Saturday Night Live UK really seems to follow that tradition with fresh sketches and satire. It’s interesting to compare it with other genres like crime dramas — you can even check some recent releases here: DramaOnline.pk. Both types of shows reflect cultural trends, but in very different ways. See more Read all reviews
