This sitcom is simply infectious. [4 Jul 2014, p.60]
The campiness of the series might keep it from being a critical favorite, and the basic fact of its existence remains surreal. But it also, maybe, feels like a miracle.
McKellen and Jacobi, who are, of course, giants of their profession, are clearly having a lark with Vicious, and you'd be foolish not to want in on the fun.
While Vicious plots don’t stick, they do entertain.
There’s an odd-couple vibe to Vicious, though it’s also a big, broad comedy reminiscent of Frasier if Niles and Frasier were a bickering gay couple instead of brothers.
McKellen and Jacobi seem to have a fun time slinging the insults, but before long, the show starts repeating itself, almost as if it’s going senile right before our eyes.
The show is, essentially, three dated, clichéd jokes told over and over again.
