    Meh pretty hit or miss imo, mostly miss really. Not much subtlety in the humour, just a lot of sterotyping. Maybe it will improve with more development of the characters?

    I thought it was just the right amount of exaggeration of the people on those pseudo-docu airport programs...

    Thought everything about it was pretty dated.

    There are different kinds of comedy. You're aware of that right?

    As I said, it's dated, been done to death and it's boring in my opinion. Deal with it.

    I was a massive fan of the first year of 'Little Britain'.. but have found nearly everything Walliams and Lucas have done since is largely poor to mediocre.

    'Come Fly With Me' has it's moments.. but there are some incredibly unfunny bits in that go way too long (thank God they got rid of the two "Martin Clunes" girls after the 1st episode).

    It's certainly far better and fresher than 'Little Britain' (or god forbid 'Little Britain US') was in it's final years.

    I wouldn't say it was laugh-out-loud funny.. but it's entertaining!

    You've seen a Walliams / Lucas production before, right?

    Jokes are about as subtle as a punch to the face, characters won't develop and jokes will be repeated ad-nauseam.

    Don't get me wrong.. they're funny guys but their comedy isn't exactly high-brow or hugely intelligent.

    Yeah true I suppose. I just thought the whole airport mockumentary idea had potential so was hoping for more :(
