I'm two seconds away from watching Dad's Army. I was raised in the wrong country (and possibly in the wrong decade) to know much about the TV show, but I thought I'd give it a go.

I gave it my all, but I couldn't hack it, which really sucks because I like pretty much every actor in that cast. But it was a bit too camp for my taste? Or something. It was hard for me to get attached to the characters and so the plot stuff couldn't hold my interest.

I got the sense that it was very faithful to the original, probably to my detriment since I never did see it. Because there really was no part of it where you got to know the characters. And it felt like a lot of the jokes hinged on you being "in the know" of who was who and so forth.

I'd agree with that it was worth a shot though.

It really was. I would try it again, in the same situation, you know?

I love those actors, I generally enjoy British comedies. I just didn't get the very specific references on this one. That was the only "problem."

and surely that's at least some part down to it being based on a show that ended in 1977 and was based in WW2.
