The Flatshare (2022)
6/10
... it surely did not require six-episodes
21 December 2022
... premise is rom-com-fluff... being little more than your lighthearted-routine-romantic-comedy... you-know, one without any-real-comedy as such... the two leads are the sole reason why the production has charm, most especially her... when she's not onscreen, all anyone can do who's watching is to wait for her return... it was six-episodes that really could-should have-been a-ninety-minute-movie

... one critic had the apt-description: "a romantic comedy, cost of living cheese party, a baked camembert served with mozzarella sauces and crispy parmesan cheese on the side. Downton's Brown Findlay floats as the gentle, aimless Tiffany, while Brassic's Welsh ponders as the uptight with hidden depths Leon. It's Emily in Paris, but set in the UK, so more self-deprecating, and instead of haughty glamour, it has a soft-heart and maudlin-core."
