    I thought this was a very funny well written series with great cinematography and choreography.

    where the character arcs felt a bit rushed but were made up for by sheer wit and humour I especially liked the character Marv as she was quite quirky and mysterious, maybe she reminded me of myself. A well done to the spectacular actor.

    Jack and Dean's acting was on point I have nothing to criticize about that about perhaps the lines were delivered a bit fast but apart from that I thought it was another great work from the upcoming comedians Jack Howard and Dean Dobbs

    I personally really enjoyed this series. The comedy was spot-on and the story was very engaging.

    The acting/directing style and the form of comedy was very similar to the usual Jack and Dean sketches. But by having a continuous plot, they were able to create a wonderful world of quirky temp agents and could fully develop the characters of not only Jack and Dean, but of Marv and Emma as well. (I'd love to see more of Marv's After Hours extra!)

    Obviously, the focus of the production was on the comedy, so the story development wasn't very natural, but again, that's the way Jack and Dean has always delivered their comedy. Although I would like to see something new from them soon, this was another great production by Jack and Dean.

    This is a fun series that I'll definitely recommend to my friends. I can't wait to see what they'll do next!

    Jack and Dean have always been funny on YouTube. This show gives them an excuse to be in unique situations every episode while also movie along with a overarching plot. Plus the shorter episodes allow them to pace everything quite rapidly, which aligns nicely with their style of comedy. My only complaint is that there aren't more episodes.

    I've always quite enjoyed Jack and Dean's YouTube sketches, but I feel that their comedy only translates in short bursts. Their characters are unrealistic and exaggerated, so having a story line felt forced. The dialogue didn't flow and was very unnatural, the comebacks were too quick and so much of it made little sense. Nothing about the series stood out as different or as something I'll remember, or want to tell my friends about.

    Shot nicely and obviously had a big budget, but nothing to write home about in terms of acting or story lines/back and forth between characters. I got a free trial to Fullscreen to watch the series but I felt disappointed after a couple of episodes and struggled to finish it out.

    Was really hoping to enjoy it but it kind of fell flat, for me. Look forward to reading more reviews but in general I don't really know what the guys were going for with this. I feel like Jack in particular has a lot more to give, it's a shame that they played it so safe.
