I caught this series almost by accident. Started to watch for something to do and I am now on series 2 and I just love it.
It genuinely makes me laugh out loud. The humour is deadpan and ridiculous - perfect for me. It's intense, full of heart, heartbreaking at times and the cast are all so imperfectly human and loveable (apart from George's friends, maybe!). Phil is an absolute gem of a character.
Even better, the legend that is Lisa Kudrow is in it and her small bits of dialogue here and there are just perfection.
Also, big up to the much needed representation of LGBTQIA2S+ in mainstream TV and I want to see more of it (not just in comedies). My kids, the next generation, need to grow up with this as a the norm in every day society so that they, or their friends, or anyone else who is feeling unable to be who they are, don't feel they have to "come out" or find acceptance.
