Is this show a complete pile of cr@p or do I hate it so much just because James Cordon is in it.?

Never seen it but can't stand CordenOriginally Posted by Hilts
I love Gavin & Stacey. Can't understand the hate for James Cordon in this as he's great as Smithy. I think it's ironic that the two weakest characters are Gavin and Stacey but they're just a vehicle for Nessa, Smithy, and the Barry/Essex groups. The Essex crowd is perfect, can't vouch for the Barry lot though
The stereotypical Welsh accents are awful, no-one in Barry talks like the girlfriend in it or her mother and the old woman next door. Poor acting, Barry people have got a stronger Cardiff accent than us CardiffiansAnnoying that any Welsh person depicted on the telly never portrays the very different accents that we have in Wales, it’s always the ‘Hiya butt’ accent. Decent actors study and perfect things like this, sadly, Gavin & Stacey is lacking in decent actors (on the Welsh side of it). Rob Brydon should swerve it and stick to ‘Would I Lie To You’.
This sounds like a ‘I hate this very popular musician/band threads’.
Yet the last Christmas episode in 2019 is one of the most watched TV programmes of the 21st century. Quite a remarkable achievement for a programme that struggled to get half a million viewers in its first series.
It's tripe
What’s the feelings on “THE TUCKERS”
I thought the first series was ok.
I don't hate him in Gavin & Stacey i've never seen it. But i can't stand his childish fake schoolkid laugh for a startI love Gavin & Stacey.

I know what you mean. I can see how it would grate. He's a West Ham supporter too!
I like it. It seems to be on all the bloody time though.
Great series.
It's not just James Corden that grates, as himself and Smithy, Ruth Jones's character too.
The show itself is easy watching and was okay when it first came out.
Was quite nice to see a few well known landmarks in it too.
Seen the odd episode on the many repeats since release but I find it cringeworthy now, especially the Welsh characters.
Corden is an irritatingly sanctimonious woke luvvie, but most of the criticism is rooted in jealousy.I love Gavin & Stacey. Can't understand the hate for James Cordon in this as he's great as Smithy.

I love Gavin and Stacey and it was excellent for South Wales
In my opinion:
1. Yes it is a pile of crap
2. It's even worse because unfunny fat boy is in it.
No, it's because he was/is a complete tosser. It is extremely well documented. Matthew Horne basically has nothing to do with him anymore because he is such a tool, and they used to be best mates.
Imagine writing this sentence without irony.
Where is it well documented? I couldn’t find anything other than them refuting some stories about a fall out. I certainly couldn’t find any reference to Horne referencing him as a tool?
I spent a large part of my life before university between Dinas, Penarth, Sully and Barry then moved away and ultimately became an expat…The entire family here loves Gavin & Stacey (there’s probably a ton of nostalgia in there for us too)and the number of Canadians our kids have converted is countless
This. The only people with halfway decent accents are Dave Coaches and Nessa. Rob Brydon can do all those impressions but he can't do a Barry accent?The stereotypical Welsh accents are awful, no-one in Barry talks like the girlfriend in it or her mother and the old woman next door.

He is VERY popular over here.
Immigrant yearns for a bit of home.........surprise
So is Donald Trump
It's true. He doesn't have any spectacular stand out talent and a lot of other comedians or more traditional actors are critical for that I think
