Miranda: Season 1-3

A friend of mine kept telling me that this was a great show but for some reason I never got around to watching it. Last weekend, however, I managed to catch it on PBS and I cannot remember when I have laughed so much at a show. I caught the first episode of Season 3 and I was laughing so hard there were tears streaming down my face. My roommate even asked me (she was in the living room watching another show), "what had you laughing so much last night?" She could hear me all the way in the front of the house! I've watched the episode several times since then and always makes me laugh!Since then I've watched a few of the episodes online and they are all funny. Miranda Hart (and the actress who plays her mother) are brilliant in the series. Actually, I enjoy all the characters. Miranda is so funny and charming, you can't help but like her. I also found out that she is on Call the Midwife so I've started watching it as well.I would love to own this series on dvd/Blu-ray so I'm hoping at some point that we can get the US format here. Or, I'd even be happy to see it in Amazon's Instant Video! Bring Miranda to the States---we love her too!If you want a show that will really lift your spirits and make you laugh until your crying, check out this series. You will not be disappointed!

Love Miranda!! Buy it, but if your in the US you have to buy a multi region dvd player. It won't work otherwise. The dvd players are around $45 and can play any US and other region movies. I bought one just to watch the Miranda series. Well worth it :)

I started watching Miranda on Hulu. I am so excited to have it now on DVD! The DVD came exactly as scheduled; so fast! I'm only on the first episode and it is so great to watch it without commercials!!!! When I first wanted to buy it, it was out of stock, and when I got it there were only 15 left. I'm not surprised. It is hilarious. I'm not one to laugh out loud but this show does it for me. Miranda is a genius. This is one of the few characters on TV I can really relate to. I also love the rest of the characters especially Stevie & Penny. I think my favorite episodes are the Holiday (when she goes on holiday) episode and the Christmas episode. I can't wait to get the final season when it comes out.There was a notice on the page on Amazon and on the package itself that said the DVD is region 2. This doesn't matter to me because I have an All region DVD player, but I think it's sad people are so in the dark ages about DVDs and region codes that the seller has to go though all this trouble. I'm super happy with this DVD set. Totally worth it!

Great British comedy...have to use multi region DVD player for it to work

This series really is "such fun!" Watching it could cheer up almost anyone. I'm so glad I bought an all-region dvd player so that I could enjoy great British TV comedy like MIRANDA here in the U.S.

I am on my fourth watching of this outstanding TV series. Miranda Hart is a brilliant actress, writer and comedienne. Nothing and nobody makes me laugh like she does. I wish to see more from this talented woman.

This series is so funny! Miranda hart snd the wonderful supporting cast make these shows a lsugh a minute. However i was very disappointed to find that the final two epusodes which wrapped up the plot lines were not included in this set. Buy the bix set with the finale episodes!! ( it does exist!)

This is the funniest series ever, I don't LOL but with Miranda I had tears rolling down my face with some of her antics. The shows characters are great and enhance the comic genius of Miranda Hart. My whole family enjoys watching this series and are sad that it was so short lived.

All three series of Miranda, though missing the belated two episode finale. Starring Miranda Hart as the socially awkward lummox Miranda, part of the joy of this series is the continual breaking of the fourth wall as Miranda confides her real thoughts directly to the audience. Like a big child who has never grown up Miranda has a love-hate relationship with her as I call it mother Penny who is forever trying to fob Miranda off on whatever man would have her - such fun! Miranda runs a joke and novelty shop with store assistant manager and best friend Stevie, wonderfully portrayed by Sarah Hadland and their childish brinkmanship is a joy to behold, particularly when they resort to name calling which often quickly disintegrates to trading insults about their physical characteristics. Stevie is Miranda's childhood friend and the sort of shorthand language they use establishes this long-standing relationship well. Stevie is often just as half-soaked as Miranda, prone to the same level of silliness at times and the interface between these two characters is beautifully portrayed. The supporting characters too are all strongly written, with Miranda's lust for next door restaurant owner Gary and exasperation at posh friend Tilly, who still uses public school rhetoric as well as the always amusing 'bear with' catch phrase whenever distracted by her mobile phone.I like that this is eminently silly, often exaggerated and always strongly written. Laughs come often, usually at Miranda's expense. What is also clear is that Hart is a fabulous physical comedian, using her stature to excellent effect. This is a character that in some ways refuses to grow up but in others is desperate to and that dichotomy is one of the strengths of the writing. Miranda often finds herself in quite bizarre situations, and her frequent awkwardness as she tries to squirm her way out of yet another tight fix, wrapping herself in ever tighter knots is always a joy. One can suspect that some of this is an only slightly exaggerated version of Hart's real personality, so naturally does she portray the social awkwardness. This is a traditional British sitcom, there's nothing hugely groundbreaking here except the sheer excellence of it's cast and writing and the continued breach of the fourth wall which has since become a staple of the very different "Mrs Brown's Boys" and "Fleabag". Definitely on of the best the BBC has produced in the 21st Century.

As an American, I discovered Miranda Hart as a guest on the Graham Norton Show. Her humor is self-deprecating and quite hysterical. So, I kept waiting and waiting for her show to come to the U.S. When it didn't, I bought this DVD and I watched every episode multiple times because it's just so darn funny, I love the fact that she breaks the "fourth wall" and talks to the audience. I love her interactions with her mother. And I especially love her relationship with Gary. It's a wonderful comedy -- funny but also poignant and warm-hearted.

The first series is hilarious, the second was funny and the third was quick coarse actually and definitely not as funny as before. It seems to be one of those TV shows that goes downhill as it goes. Still, there were a few laughs in the last season. It's worth a watch anyway.

Miranda hart I love you I spent a week going through this laugh out loud box set I never laughed so much in ages such fun! I love the Miranda Gary storyline I hear there's only going to be two Christmas specials and that's the end of the show Noooooo but some shows do tend end at the 3rd series Little Britain being one. All good things come to a end I guess even at least I can relive it all on DVD. Also this box set is a great price many supermarkets selling for a few quid more get the best offer on Amazon and get laughing.

Had already watched the series -or more exactly what was availabele on the internet.Liked it so much I had to have a complete copy to cherish and return to when ever I got hit by the blues.
