Deep Heat - New itv2 Sitcom From Max & Ivan

[Small Man Big Horse]

I love me some Max & Ivan and so had high expectations for this new comedy about wrestling, but weirdly it's quite poor. I've only seen the first episode so hopefully it'll improve, but though it had a lot of very heavy lifting to do (including introducing a sod load of characters and the setup) it wasn't as if there weren't any jokes, just that they were poor and often quite clumsily delivered. Max and Ivan didn't get much screen time together and were the two most ill defined characters, and the whole thing left me cringing rather than laughing, my fondness for the duo means I'll give it another go, but I'm not optimistic any more sadly.
