[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 396604, member: 23"] Well, that didn't take long. Last night I wrapped up [I]Mandy[/I] with the end of Series Three (which was released just a couple of weeks ago so I'm as current as can be). It's a definite example of me wishing there were more episodes to watch as it's been far too easy to just devour all of them. I've loved the numerous pop culture references... many of which are from the Eighties. And those outside of this were brilliant. The take-off of [I]The Birds[/I] was hilarious and perfectly done. Likewise, the choice of guest-appearances continued to be surprising and fun. It's apparent the budget got a bit bigger with each new series, and this was reinforced by watching the pilot episode immediately afterwards, showing a more "bare-bones" version of what we'd get in the series. Very interesting, though, and still very funny. While the ending kind of suggests it's wrapping up, I can't help feeling there'll be more. But I'm sure many felt that way when [I]Fawlty Towers[/I] finished its second series. [/QUOTE]
