Porridge

About This Movie

So, Porridge (2016) is this sequel that really takes you back to the vibe of the original series but, you know, it’s set 40 years later. The humor feels familiar yet updated, capturing that blend of wit and a bit of absurdity. The pacing can be a tad uneven, which might throw off some fans, but it has its moments. You can tell they’re trying to maintain that cheeky spirit from the sitcom. Nigel Norman Fletcher, being the grandson of the original Fletcher, adds this layer of legacy that’s interesting. The prison setting brings some new dynamics, especially with all that cyber-crime stuff. It's distinctive in how it weaves nostalgia with modern themes, even if some of the performances could be a bit hit-or-miss.
