Everything! The characters were realistic (I work in a hospital)and younger people can relate to this.
The slowing down or speeding up of time could soimetimes be annoying or distracting.
Green Wing has come on to the British Comedy circuit quite quietly, but made a huge impact. The amount of hits to Green Wing related sites has been phenomenal and it shows that we Brits can contend with the Americans, for once. The more I watch it, the more intrigued I become not only with the characters, but the clever use of cameras and time warping. As an amatuer comedy writer, it is inspirational to see something as wacky but as tantalising as this. The background humour is what you must look for, the comedy isn't always in frontal view! It may be fair to say that some episodes were overly long and the cross cutting between different narratives too much, but the classic 'will they won't they' situation worked well and drew many people to their own conclusions in the characters themselves. For example, is Sue White jealous of Caroline having Mac or Mac having Caroline? As we found in the first episode, Sue touches Caroline's bum and kisses her at her party and her office later, adding to a mystery that surounds the character.
Overall, Green Wing will easily attract more viewers with the second series on the way and the first will live on, if DVD's are scheduled for release. People who haven't seen the first? Get going! You won't be disappointed!
