Big Boys’ sucker-punch final season proves it’s one of the finest British comedies of the past decade Jack Rooke’s coming-of-age story has reached its conclusion.
The bait and switch of Big Boys has been to make viewers think they are watching a show about Jack, when really it’s a love letter to Danny.
And this last goodbye to Big Boys – one of the finest British comedies of the past decade – feels like one of those moments.
He and his fellow “blue shed” residents – charismatic ladies’ man Danny (Jon Pointing), his powerful girlfriend Corinne (Izuka Hoyle), and flamboyant fashionista Yemi (Olisa Odele) – will soon say goodbye to Brent Uni and enter the big, scary real world.
That, too, is the fundamental truth that allows the sitcom format to occasionally elevate itself to true art, as in the final season of Jack Rooke’s superb Big Boys on Channel 4.
