Good concept, poorly executed.
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Must say I didn't quite know what to make of Jinsy the first time I watched the pilot episode. But after watching a few more, you really do get into the whole surreal world they've created. The songs are silly, catchy and years later I still find myself humming along to a number of them, something I haven't done to any comedic songs since the Python days. This won't appeal to all, especially the more conservative mainstream sitcom type watchers, but to anyone who likes some quirky and a bit crazy comedy sketches and songs and episodes filled with guest stars such as Rob Brydon (love his badger song!), David Tennant, Greg Davies, Stephen Fry etc etc, its a blast!Funniest thing on British TV in many years and the most re-watchable program I've probably ever seen.

Funny really is in the eye of the beholder it seems. I like surreal, odd, and silly comedy. Python, Boosh, League of Gentlemen, but to compare those to this rubbish is insulting.At its best its boring, at its worst its embarrassing to watch. The characters are mostly just unpleasant to watch and the songs are just awful. Its just silliness for the sake of it, and its not smart enough to justify itselfQuite simply this is completely unfunny, and no amount of heavyweight guest stars save it. Im not surprised the ratings tanked and it got cancelled.

You need Jinsy in your life, comedy for adults that doesn't include obscenity of some description is a difficult task but they achieve it with a wealth of odd characters that have been so meticulously worked out you will forget all the famous faces you see and believe them all to be residents of jinsy. the main storyline (that gets more intriguing as the show unfolds) creates a warm bizarre environment that you want to be part of, there are some annoying segments (the weatherman) but they are more than made up for by the main cast/story,series 2 pushes the mystery of the island further leaving you wanting more. this will be a future cult classic and fans of the mighty boosh should make sure they see it, personally I cant wait for series 3 and the uncovering of the Great he

Daily Greet! "This is Jinsy" is a surreal, satirical, ever-humorous look at life on an island administered by craven Arbiter Maven (Justin Chubb) and his ever-cynical assistant Sporrall (Chris Bran) by way of tessallators in every chalet and field. They labor in a Tower and under the sometimes bewildering eye of The Great He.The tessallators, which look like a cross between a parking meter and an oscilloscope, spy on residents and also broadcast a range of light entertainment including island folk dibbler Melody Lane ("What's in my Handbag Today", "Types of Wood"), Weather Monk Tracee Henge ("Brrrr!" "Thud!", "Gentle Wafting!") and Sandy's Choice (a talent competition hosted by a dog).The tessallators are also used to dispense justice to inebriates, petty thieves and other ne'er do wells by way of mild electrical shocks which honestly do wear off after several days and have only set a few small fires. One of the highest rated shows on Jinsy is "Punishment Roundup", hosted by a delightfully evil Joon Boolay (Harry Hill) who never seems to get tired of suspending dance vouchers and administering electricals! Sporall and Maven are supported by Soosan Noop (Alice Lowe), their nearsighted tech, and Trinch (Geoffrey McGivern), who labors in the Law Caves under a stalactite. The Jinsy players round out the population of the island, constantly changing knitwear, wigs and genders to add to the surrealism. Guest stars are also on hand to add to the lunacy. Especially funny are David Tennant as Mr. Slightlyman, Peter Serafinowicz as Eric Dunt, K.T. Tunstall as Briian Raggatan and Susan Horrocks as Mrs. Stenton.Whether Maven and Sporrall are inadvertently exposing corruption in the island's wedding lottery, beheading an Ool bat, finding the way of the cupboard, making sure the spoons are clean or transferring name worms, "This is Jinsy" is always good for a laugh and repeated singing of the catchy songs (It's cold and it's wet and it looks just like an onion...").Nightly Bye!
