Trollied

Trollied has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Stan and Hoopla, and in the US on Hoopla. 7 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 33 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Carl Rice leads a cast with real comic timing. Put it on tonight on Stan and see for yourself.

Trollied arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Trollied gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Set in Valco, a fictional budget supermarket in the north west of England, Trollied finds the funny in one of our most familiar surroundings and focuses on the types of characters we all recognise: bored checkout staff, ineffectual managers and a range of customers, from the irate to the downright bizarre. The chemistry Carl Rice and Lorraine Cheshire bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It ran for 7 seasons (2011–2018), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The timing in Trollied is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Trollied. The tonal similarities to Great News are real, though Trollied carves out its own identity quickly. 7 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Carl Rice's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Trollied wrapped up in 2018, created by Paul Doolan, Ash Atalla and Anne Marie O'Connor — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
