A comedy with depth, feeling and humor, but no cheap shots I had lowered expectations when I started watching this series. Maybe it was the first scene when the refugee Sami is introduced. I was thinking something like "Let the shallow jokes begin." But it hit it out of the park as far as I am concerned. Home gets its laughs and chuckles not with insults or one-liners, but rather by working for them. It tells a good story and include wit and humor in the process. One scene, somewhere around episode 3 sees Sami in a classroom setting up a scenario where he explains to a heckling kid, "This is Syria!" I won't give away any more than that. Suffice to say that we get the point and so does the kid. It is my favorite scene in the entire series. Most of the characters who need depth to be interesting have depth, and Peter actually displays some character growth during the course of series one, not bad for a comedy. There is not a lot of swearing or explicit and rude humor. he tension between Sami and his wife, who is a refugee in Germany, is a bonus subplot that stills has to work itself out in series two, which I hope has been approved.
