    That's certainly one view. Another would be that it's the worst thing I've seen on TV since Marc Wootton

    I've not had the pleasure of Marc Wooton, but having googled him I think I'll stick to the Jinsy.

    It's awful. You can't get away with just trying to be wierd, surely there has to be at least an element of comedy too.

    takes it lead from League of Gentlemen and Father Ted, gets it all wrong and is crap!

    Father Ted!   Why because it's on an island????

    Yes.

    or no, it's trying to be as zany and off the wall and just feels very forced, not my cup of tea at all, each to their own though, comedy is a personal thing and personally I can't stand it.

    Actually, I agree with you that both Father Ted and League of Gentlemen are better.  I just don't see any connection link in style between Jinsy and Ted.

    I think it has a similar dreamy weirdness to Ted, in style it borrows possibly more heavily from LOTG, that of course is a modern comedy classic.

    Just about made it to the end of the first episode. Decided it wasn't written with me in mind!
