For many years, most of our TV watching has been UK productions. Poldark, Shetland, The Coroner, Home Fires, Father Brown, Death in Paradise, Inspector Lewis are some of our favorites. Cold Feet quickly went to the top of the list. Vividly portrayed, funny, real characters, great writing--people you quickly grow to care about. Perfection.We note that the current seasons (2016-present) are a continuation of the original series (1998-2003), so we will have to find the DVDs of the originals so we can spend more time with these folks.
... View MoreOut of all of the dramatic comedies produced on either side of the Atlantic, Cold Feet is the finest to date. Its writing is consistently spectacular - with acting to match, and its return for a sixth (and soon seventh) season has been genuinely triumphant and a sheer joy to watch. A past attempt to develop an American version was - predictably - met with failure. THIS one is the real deal, the one worth "binging" on.
... View More..really liked the original production.. so when it ended at what appeared to be a very logical conclusion.. was pretty much at the time satisfied. But then surfing for programming.. fourteen years later, and to discover they've brought it back.. said WTF! How and why should believe this is going to work a decade and a half later... well guess what.. it's truly gotten better. Now up to date in today's world, everything is so much more complex and interesting. And there was passion there before for Hermione Norris, but now it is real-deal serious. So many ensemble productions have gone by the boards, but these guys have given new life and hope to all those seriously worthwhile, but thought past-time series. It is most desired they continue on for as long as they can keep producing such great work.. bravo to all involved.
... View MoreCold feet a comedy about couples, sex, love, families & sex...they seem to like sex...........then again who doesn't!!This is British comedy better than its best, this is COMEDY at its best. It'll stand against all others. And this is not only because the gorgeous Helen Baxendale is in it.The series starts 6 months after the one off play finished. All the couples are still together [ just ] despite the best attempts of Parenthood, sex problems [ told you they liked it ] money troubles and a forgotten Wedding, i won't tell you whose if you haven't seen it yet.This is comedy for grown ups, not only because of the racy content, both visual & verbal, but because it makes you think as well as laugh.Watch it you'll LOVE IT. And it must have done a wonder for the sale of roses!
