This series begins promising enough but runs out of steam by the second episode, featuring a hard exterior but with a soft, creamy inside. Biggest problem is that the script is not funny enough to support many of the attempts at jokes. The ensemble acting is a bit amateurish. The underlying and persistent rom com story lines don't have enough punch to ding their subjects and the whole thing is so sloppily assembled you wish someone had rescued the crew from this dull ride. The worst part is the main character, played by the writer, is such an asshole you just don't care about her - or any other character. It seems like the people behind this haven't a clue about how to retain the irreverence while making sharp observations of human nature and tickling your funny bone at the same time. This should be funny, not merely amusing. If there is going to be another second set of episodes, re-casting should be top priority. An editor for Waller-Bridge wouldn't hurt. This kind of show should have laugh out loud moments (like the much sharper White Gold) and a tightness that pulls it all together. But it just sits there.

If you do not want to meet and know this person.. then that says much about you. These little six episode series she creates are so much fun.. and her on-screen performance artistry is matched by very few. Do you like one more than another, of course, but still all are good.. and you truly cannot wait for the next one to come about. Would wait a bit and watch any again.. they are great, and each episode matches the strength of the others.. that's an extraordinary accomplishment. There's lots of 'celebrities'.. this woman is a real force.. can't wait for her next endeavor to hit the screen.
... View MoreEdgy,dangerous, eye-opening, real-life, very funny, brilliant cast, superb writing and wonderful interpretation by the cast. Well directed. Congratulations to all concerned. We want more ........ A lot of friends have been given hope living in a great city that through property guardianship they may be able to make it in London. This is a modern day Friends but with attitude! Brilliant set and very imaginative that it should be set in a disused/redundant hospital in central London. I hope we see lots more from the writer who is taking comedy/sitcom to a different level. She craft her work well and despite the storyline has a innocence about the circumstances.
... View MoreOmg I love this show!! One of the best comedies to come out of the UK in years. So laugh out loud funny yet with real depth. So much comedy is dumbed down these days but this show is complex and emotional as well as very funny. Quirky British comedy at it's best. Feels a bit like Girls mixed with friends or new girl. It's also written by a woman which is probably why it feels like that(!) I wasn't totally sure about the first episode as it felt like it had too much too fit in, but still felt drawn to come back as there were some great moments in it. Then each episode just got funnier and funnier. Really worth sticking with it. Great characters, great setting, great gags. Love!!
