Him&Her is one of the most underrated British sitcoms ever imo.

Brilliant writing, great performances, and just one location - this always impressses me with any TV show or film and makes each episode of Him&Her feel like a short play.

It’s super relatable, a great depiction of working class Brits, and every episode is hilarious. All the performances are pitch perfect but Ricky Champ’s Paul and Kerry Howard’s Laura are standouts.

Yet I don’t hear people talking about it enough! Why is that? Why did it never reach a wider audience?

Saw an episode on tv last night and spent the first ten seconds thinking it was a lost Red Dwarf episode. I didn't even know the show existed.

Did it get a good reception when it first aired? And were people upset it only ran for two seasons?
