"Fortysomething" Review I have just finished watching british series Fortysomething. And now I'm utterly confused. The show somehow managed to be both unwatchable and charming at the same time. The characterisation and performances (Hugh Laurie, Anna Chancellor, Peter Capaldi, Benedict Cumberbatch) were all excellent, though it was expected. What I didn't get was the plot. Maybe I'm too young to understand all this stuff, or maybe I'm just not English to get the humor. I'm ashamed to say, I haven't seen any of the actors playing the roles they are best known for. Dr.House, Dr.Who, Sherlock - missed them all. And still it was delightful to see the actors. I can only imagine what a pleasure it must be for their fans.

"Fortysomething" Review of "Fortysomething"

I have just finished watching the bBritish series Fortysomething. And now I'm utterly confused. The show somehow managed to be both unwatchable and charming at the same time. The characterisation and performances (Hugh Laurie, Anna Chancellor, Peter Capaldi, Benedict Cumberbatch) were all excellent, though it that was to be expected. What I didn't get was the plot. Maybe I'm too young to understand all this stuff, or maybe I'm just not English enough to get the humor. I'm ashamed to say, I haven't seen any of the actors playing the roles they are best known for. Dr.House, Dr.Who, Sherlock - missed them all. And still it was delightful to see the actors. I can only imagine what a pleasure it must be for their fans.

Humour is so difficult to understand in foreign languages. How good is your English? It would need to be at least C1, maybe C2 for you to enjoy British sitcoms, I suspect. Maybe it is that good, of course - your notebook entry is well written.
