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.

Out 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.

Cold Feet was set in the north west of England, in Manchester, not the Midlands.We found it just as good as everyone has said. Funny, touching, sad, and well acted & staged. So much so that we bought the full DVD set when it finished.The only thing that I would say is that it seemed to use many of the situations that were used in 'thirtysomething' ( finest ensemble drama series ever !), and sometimes came very close to the actual stories in 'ts'. You could say that thius was natural, dealing with the same type of people, but it was a bit naughty.

'At Home With The Braithwaites' was fantastic, but lacked the warmth; 'The Darling Buds of May' was lovely, but lacked the realism; 'Cold Feet' just had it all.....Often compared to 'Friends' which I view as a two-dimensional, superficial string of only-occasionally-funny-but-more-so-puerile-gags aimed at the teenage market, 'Cold Feet' was so much more than this. Mike Bullen created and wrote with stunning ingenuity an intelligent, warm, funny, sad, tragic, weird-at-times-yet-deep-down realistic piece of quality comedy-drama. I have yet to see something of the same genre supersede or even match its standards of acting, writing and direction. Absolutely wonderful.
