ITV's 'Piglets' Falls Flat Despite Controversial Title
The new police sitcom fails to deliver laughs, leaving critics unimpressed and police complaints unwarranted.
- Critics agree 'Piglets' lacks the humor found in classic police comedies like 'Police Academy'.
- The show features a cast of misfit recruits and their eccentric trainers at a fictional police academy.
- The Police Federation criticized the title as offensive, but the show itself avoids political commentary.
- Created by the team behind 'Green Wing', 'Piglets' struggles with weak jokes and underdeveloped characters.
- Reviewers noted that the sitcom's attempts at absurdity and silliness often fall flat.
