Review of Pulling

Pulling (2006–2009)
4/10
Hadn't heard of this and understand why.

I do believe all three of the main characters are the antagonists and everyone else ( nearly) are the protagonists. It's a comedy of it's time and hasn't really travelled well. Series 1 is very forgettable. Series 2 brings nothing new but a conclusion. Horgan and Kelly have skills as writers without doubt. Plots are all pretty thin. There is no sudden redemption or intelligent story arcs. Donna and Carl is the only arc that sort of works. Self centered "Noughties" types who don't try and learn anything but just get more neurotic was typical of the time. Post recession changed attitudes, we were given more sympathetic characters. Not necessarily better just more relatable. It's watchable as a story but I was left indifferent. Better from all was to follow.
