Absolutely amazing
30 October 2016 | by – See all my reviews

I really love this show. It's dramatic, it's hopeful, provocative, and filled with warmth. Some of the side characters (like the terrible, cheating girlfriend) are a bit flat, but the main characters shine so well. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey's Penelope Wilton, My Mad Fat Diary's Sharon Rooney, or Waterloo Road's Angela Griffin, I would definitely recommend that you watch this show It's amazing the amount of chemistry the actresses have with each other. This show reminds me a little bit of the Full Monty in terms of sheer awkwardness and humor. If you want something to watch that doesn't make you think a whole lot, give it a go. Anyway, check it out and see if it's for you. I'm hoping for a second season!
