Hitmen: Season One

January 3, 2021 7:58 AM - Season 1 (Full Season)

A pair of hired guns, working for a seldom-seen crime boss named Mr. K, pass their days kidnapping and killing their targets, then disposing of their bodies. Most of their waking hours are spent in a grimy van, which is equipped with all manner of murder-facilitating doohickeys. The twist: these barely-competent assassins are played by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, better known as the hosts of The Great British Bake Off.

Currently streaming in the US on Peacock.

I have heard this called "a dark comedy for light watching" and it really is.

I find Mel and Sue to be funny and entertaining but this was uneven and boring. Sue was a team captain on an entertaining game show.I think it was Comedy Game Night and Mel was on Taskmaster. Either show is more entertaining.
