Attention all Netflix users! You only have a few days left to catch up on all five seasons of the side-splitting British comedy, Cuckoo, before it's taken down. This beloved series, originally aired on the BBC from 2012 to 2019, centers around the Thompson family in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
The show follows the family as they navigate through unexpected challenges and hilarious situations, starting with the surprise return of their daughter Rachel from her gap year abroad, now married to an eccentric American hippie named Dale 'Cuckoo' Ashbrick. With an unemployed and drug-loving husband, Rachel's parents, Ken and Lorna, are in for a wild ride.
Fans have raved about the show, with one viewer even calling it "truly hilarious" and another praising its "consistently laugh out loud moments." The first season in particular has been described as a "masterclass" by one fan, while another highlights the winning pairing of Greg Davies and Taylor Lautner as one of the best in TV.
The series initially premiered in 2012 and quickly became BBC Three's most-watched comedy launch, beating the record set by Bad Education the month before. The success of the show landed Davies a BAFTA nomination for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme.
Despite its popularity, the show almost didn't continue after the first season due to lead actor Andy Samberg's busy schedule. However, the show's creators found a solution by bringing in Taylor Lautner for the second season, playing the long-lost lovechild of Samberg's character. The show went on to air four more seasons, featuring guest appearances from stars like Andie MacDowell and Outnumbered's Tyger Drew-Honey.
In 2015, a pilot for an American version of the show was developed, starring Michael Chiklis, Cheryl Hines, and Flula Borg, but unfortunately it never made it to a full season. Now, with just a few days left before it's taken off Netflix, it's your chance to catch this gem of a comedy before it's gone. Don't miss out on the hilarity and heart of Cuckoo, available until January 4.
