Less "instant karma" and more "karma coma".

My Name is Earl - series 1 - exploded onto British TV screens with a welcome mix of originality, excellent humour and great acting from all.

Series 2 - not so great. Yes, it's still funny and the cast (which, thankfully, remains unchanged) are still as good as ever. Further amusing karma-catastrophes and hilarious situations abound.

But there's something missing. like with many US TV shows, they suffer from "corporate" disease - sequels often come out worse, I suspect greedy TV companies forcing writers to write at the speed their shareholders want, rather than at a speed they are comfortable with. I guess that's why so many TV shows limp on to such tragically awful ends as well - if they were cows I reckon you'd say they'd been milked to death.

Whilst My Name is Earl series 2 is not quite that bad - yet - it still seems formulaic and the same as the first. The problem there is that season 1 was fresh and new, whereas, by virtue of being a sequel, season two is not. It needs something new, vibrant, exciting to keep it alive and, quite frankly, adding a bit more of a continuing "story" is not the answer.

I have yet to watch series 3 but, if it carries on in this vein, I suspect it'll be the last I watch sadly.

On the other hand, if you are a true MNIE fan and disagree with my review, then you will be happy with the box set. Similar to the series 1 box set, the layout is similar, with plenty of added extras and commentary, although sadly nothing to rival the series one "lost episode".

All in all it's ok, not bad - hardly glowing, but then neither is series 2.Read full review...

top comedy

my name is earl is the best comedy since phoenix nights,truly quality the second series is every bit as entertaining as the first a must have for any dvd collection BUY IT!

Karma a funny old thing!?!

My name is Earl is brilliant! I have all the series and I watch them over and over and over and over...again. It never gets old. Its a brillaint comedy using the concept of Karma (do good things and good things and do bad things...wll you can work that out) wich works brillaintly with the characters dumbness. Highly recommended A+++
