Jamie Demetriou has been incredibly open about what a struggle the show is to write alone, and this third season appears to be the most gruelling yet. Then again, and this is just a wild punt, perhaps we’re being a bit greedy. To have a show like Stath, that not only creates an army of gibbering morons but also makes you care for them, is a gift. There was an episode told in VHS flashback that underlined what a lovely, tender family sitcom Stath is under all the shrieking idiocy. Stath’s rougher edges were sanded off by fatherhood, and if the moment that Sophie and Al finally declared their love for each other in a genuinely inept way isn’t the most adorable thing on television all year, I’ll be staggered. Although everyone in it was still unquestionably silly, they also became terrifically sweet.
The most recent series was probably its best. To create an army of gibbering morons, but also make you care for them, is a gift.
