Rev - Series 1-2 Box Set [DVD]

Tom Hollander is superb as downtrodden and slightly faith-confused head of St Saviours. Great interaction between a host of characters who crop up throughout pretty well every episode including long suffering and rather amazingly supportive wife, Colin the drunken but eloquent tramp (is he the voice of God or Jesus throughout?) and a small group of others who help show how tough and exasperating being an inner-city cleric must be in the 21st century.

Rev is too short: only six measly episode per series. And only two series, so far. But that might not be a bad thing. Like Spaced, it might just be two series is enough, the perfect amount, and to go any further would be to ruin something lovely, and it could end up on Series 4, and go all rubbish. Like Prison Break.

The writing in Rev is - in some places - absolute genuis. The characters are splendidly acted, and the dynamics between them are sometimes subtle and touching, other times violent and sweary.

I particulary like the Archdeacon, who always pours his coffee away. I don't know why that makes me laugh; it just does.

Summary: watch it. You'll like it. And if you don't, Jesus will hate you.

Best programme on the telly, can never watch it too many times would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour and a soul

Rev is a fantastic sitcom suited to viewers with both dry and obvious senses of humour. Would recommend to anyone with experience of involvement with the Church!

Pure genius, great cast and fantastic script if u want a belly laugh then here is your answer buy it!

I really enjoyed watching Rev on the TV when it was broadcast, so I bought it for my girlfriend's parents at Christmas and they have been really enjoying it.

I really like how Rev is adult comedy without the need to be really crass and rude and is generally pretty sweet, in a cute sort of a way.

Rev is an unexpectedly great show. I didn't know what to expect, but I think I vaguely had Vicar of Dibley in mind. Rev is really nothing like Vicar, but is great in it's on way.

I loved these series on TV. It has been wonderful to view again, and I rationed the episodes to make the joy last longer! Beautifully written and observed, and wonderfully acted by all the cast. There are some great laugh out loud moments. This is one of my favourite comedy series. Can't wait for series 3.

Fantastic, loved the shows on TV and now I can watch all to my heart's content. So naughty but brilliant.

So far I have only watched the first 2 episodes, both are hilarious and reflective at the same time. What more can I say?
