My only issue is that I wish it was funnier. Sure, it's not un-funny. It's an enjoyable half hour. But I wanted so much more. The jokes are often a bit predictable and the material doesn't live up to the actors delivering it.

Mel and Sue just don't seem to be acting.

If Hitmen was on Bake Off it would be the soggiest of bottoms - it misses the target by a mile.

It's absurd, it's dark, it has no soft centre at all - it feels as if it's made for these times.

It could have been done very, very badly. It's done pretty damned well: that chemistry, of course, but also many decent gags.

While it's not essential viewing, it does pass the time nicely enough. Which is not to be sniffed at. At all.

Hitmen was slapstick, but it was also twisted, dark and merciless and they certainly weren't too cuddly to kill.

It's fun and daft - unsophisticated enough to give it an enjoyably homely feel... but never descending into idiocy.
