Gavin & Stacey: Season Two (DVD) Review: Sweet, funny, full of character - I feel so lucky that I discovered this show, which is utterly charming and often hilarious. I find it even more enjoyable than "Doc Martin," the British comedy that it most resembles (to me), and am glad it's less slap-stick-y and less over-the-top than another favorite, "The Vicar of Dibley." "Gavin & Stacey" runs in 1/2 hour episodes, and is filled with quirky, likable characters. I'd expected this show to include the token snarky character or nasty undertones, but it doesn't. Some of them are a bit one-dimensional, but these two extended families interact with warmth, ease, and outright affection. Neither did I expect to learn so much (as an American) about the England/Wales distinction. After watching the first 2 seasons of the show, I've developed an ear for the Welsh accent and an eye for the red dragon that appears on its flag. One note: British humor can be dry as well as bawdy. There are a few quick jokes (some visual) in "Gavin & Stacey" that made me do a double-take ("Whaaaaaa?") -- you'd never hear/see them on an American sitcom! But it's all part of the charm. The only sad thing about diving into Season 3 is that it'll be over. : ( Review: This is such a funny show and where I first discovered James Corden - This is such a funny show and where I first discovered James Corden. I had found the first Season at Barnes and Nobles but someone told me I could find the others Seasons on desertcart also at a cheaper price. I'm so glad they told me because now I can find a lot of my brit shows on desertcart at a better nice than I used to pay at Barnes and Nobles.

This is such a funny show and where I first discovered James Corden
This is such a funny show and where I first discovered James Corden. I had found the first Season at Barnes and Nobles but someone told me I could find the others Seasons on Amazon also at a cheaper price. I'm so glad they told me because now I can find a lot of my brit shows on amazon at a better nice than I used to pay at Barnes and Nobles.

Still Funny
I had viewed the earlier season and couldn't get enough of this sweet and funny crew. While I love G&S "Smithy" is my favorite. James Corden brings touching sentiment to the character you can't help but love. I wish I could understand the accents a bit better as I know I miss alot, but I'm already laughing. Corden and 'Nessa wrote this series and he went on to Broadway in "One Man Two Guvnors" winning a Tony award for his performance...I saw this live and he was amazing! G&S is one of the best Brit comedies I've viewed...and I viewed many......T Guinta

Bought And Watched All EIGHT Episodes, Went Back Today, They Removed The Last One
When I bought it, Season Two had EIGHT episodes, including the year-ending Christmas Special. That was several years ago. Now, since this BritBox service started up, they stole the last episode of the season and I only own SEVEN episodes, with the episode a I watched the year I bought it being reclassified as only available on BritBox, which is entirely illegal, so I'll be writing to a congressman about that. Just found out today, when I went to rewatch it, and I'm wondering when they stole the digital rights on that last episode.

Wished it would never end.
My hubby and I really enjoyed the 1st season on that other movie streaming site. After waiting forever for it to arrive streaming on that site I gave in and purchased season 2 and 3 on Amazon. Its not so much the main characters that reel me in, its the supporting cast. Warm, understated and sweet, with that British dry humor. Wish there were more shows like this.

Hilarious
If you haven't checked out this series....get it!! My wife is a fan and eventually converted me into one as well. We'd seen season one, bought it and watched it a hundred times and loved it. Waited some time to find season 2 since we don't get BBC. Ended up buying seasons 2 & 3 w/ the christmas special and it was well worth the money. This series is full of laughs and the story builds and revisits several good inside jokes. Highly recommended.

Cute show!
This show is really cute, and humorous. I highly recommend it. I had no problems streaming to my computer from Amazon. However, I could not watch these on my ipad, which was disappointing.

Brilliant second series
This DVD really hits the mark after the first series. Excellent extras as well. Really recommend this to all who love G&S.

Still laugh out loud funny
The second series is not as solid as the first but is still very funny. Slightly less emphasis on pure humour and a little more on the real everyday problems of a new marriage. Smithy's relationship with Nessa receives more emphasis.The charactors are all funny and all endearing. Still one of the best pieces of comedy for many years.

Series 2 disc you sent doesn't work in my dvd blue ray player. I have the whole series by another dvd and my other series 2 doesn't work either.
