I never got around to watching the second series! Damn!

First ep, second series is awesome! Really top quality sitcom in my view. Rest was good but didn't live up to that one.

Have to say, really enjoyed Pulling as a whole. I'm hoping for a third series, but I can see how they might want to leave it the way they did. Karen having her realization, sat alone in a pub in the middle of the afternoon; and Donna having to start over yet again because she couldn't swallow her pride. I suppose, if you're looking at the the series as a whole, it might indeed be a fitting end to the series.

Agree that the first ep of the series was rather good. Overall I think it's been quite strong actually, although there was one episode (think it might have been the second or third one) that I thought just stood out as being quite weak , the one when Donna's old friend turned up with Donna pulling out all the stops to impress.

I've really enjoyed the second series. My one small complaint is that at times it felt like the BBC's answer to Peep Show, which meant it lacked the originality of a truly great sitcom. I'd love a third series, though, and feel there's bags of places the characters can go.

I don't know whether I'd compare it to Peep Show, but I definately have to agree that it lacks something. It doesn't have all that much in the way of an original personality. It's a great show, but yeah; it does seem to be lacking a certain something. Still, I can't put it down to words so it can't be hanging too heavy over the show.

I thought the last episode of the second series was the funniest episode yet. Has me in hysterics, and nothing seems to do that these days. When he bought Karen a healthy lunch in the staff room! I'm not even sure why it was funny, it was that good!
