Roger and Val Have Just Got In is a very poignant black comedy in that it profiles a married couple, Roger and Val, years after they have suffered a personal tragedy. I like this show because it's shot in real time; when Val makes the tea, we see her make the tea. This might not matter to a lot of people, but it really plays a part in drawing me into not only the show, but their lives as well. I also like this show because it shows the serious side of Dawn French. She created this show and you can see that it was partially inspired by her personal life.I think Americans will like this show if they want to see something really different. There are only two cast members in this, Alfred Melina, and Dawn French, as Roger and Val, which really helps the audience feel the isolation that the characters feel. I also love how unexpectedly hilarious it is. You think it's going to be very depressing but then there's a joke about pubic hair to brighten your day. And then of course it's witty and insightful again. Anyone who watches this show will feel more sensitive and much smarter for having done so. And you can watch right now! Down below...Enjoy!
