Thoroughly engaging from the beginning....loved the characters and the actors portrayal of them was brilliant.... I saw another review which questioned the main protagonists chemistry and I couldn't disagree more, I thought they were lovely together....
And the themes are timely and timeless....and good that Netflix didn't restrict the show to six episodes.....it was like watching a really good book which I believe was the shows origins..... definitely worth watching...might even watch it again as I think there will be little things I have missed. Definitely one of the better recent releases ....💕

Funny, real and very refreshing
25 August 2022
I loved this show....found it by accident and found it funny, real and very refreshing....the characters were very relatable and and portrayed family life far too accurately and uncomfortably....sad that it has reached the end but big applause to Pamela Adlon for a beautifully written and directed show.....must watch👏👏👏

OMG....so good and so real

Frighteningly real and gut wrenching but with both irony and humour....one of the best shows I have seen in ages.....not for the faint hearted if you don't like medical procedures but I absolutely loved....laughed, cried, challenged...so good😄

Quirky and very witty

I don't understand the neighsayers ...I loved the second season even more than the first.....very clever and laugh out loud funny.... Steve Carell and John Malcovich are fabulous together but the rest of the cast really compliment the script and plot line.....loved it🤗

Good Take on 2021

Genuinely funny and an interesting take on Covid (the isolation, the zoom meetings and connectivity issues we all had) and the world we currently live in....well worth a watch and I keep my fingers crossed for Season 2.

I don't understand the awful reviews...it's not the best but it is quirky in the European way....laugh out loud moments, tenderness and a realness of life most shows don't come close to.... I really liked it....quite original....and definitely worth watching.

Sooooooooooo good

Such a brilliant satire and I know it was slated for 4 seasons.....such a shame the powers that be canned it after one....too close to the bone????
I absolutely loved it.... particularly looking at the American political situation in 2021....certainly thought provoking and worth a watch!!!
I also laughed out loud😁

Refreshing .... Silly, funny and exactly how I feel as I get older...slightly irrelevant and struggling to be seen....music is great. ..listen to the song lyrics particularly as the credits role....very, very worth watching and so glad it's coming back for a second season.... can't wait ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why the bad reviews?
18 October 2020
Saw great reviews and really bad one....well I'm for the great ones.... thoroughly enjoyed it....thought Charlize Theron was great as Megyn Kelly and Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie were really good too....not to mention the ensemble cast...all really good.....worth watching👍🏼
The Handmaid's Tale
(2017–2025)
So true to the book and beyond
7 June 2019
So true to the book and beyond... Best show on television... Possibly ever..... And the US is heading in this direction now with the dystopian and draconian abortion laws being enacted by Republican states.... Old white men, for the most part, deciding what women can do with their own physical and mental health. ..very scary.
