Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything

Can't understand the low ratings !! I'm only two episodes in but was hooked after watching one of the best openings to any new comedy I've seen in years . I know Sheridan Smith can play characters like Rosie standing on her head but she manages to make her both grotesque and lovable !! It also helps that it's not a one woman show , all the supporting cast are excellent but a special shout out to both Ardal O'hanlan and Pauline Mclynne for making her parents comedic but touching !! Really looking foward to the rest of the series but hoping there is no redemption for her and she doesn't give up everything.

Everything about this is really dreadful.. The writing is so shockingly poor and thevacting is no better, which is a shame as I've liked everythingbrlse Sheridan Smith has starred in. Myself and my wife watched the first one and tried the second, but alas there was no improvement. Couldnt even tell you if it was a comedy or serious show. I can only imagine Ardal O'Hanlon asked to be killed off in the second episode to save himself further embarrassment.

Its almost as if the writer has tried doubly hard to put shock value into every sentence which has just ended up coming across as boring and unoriginal.

Sadly, I know alot of excessive people so this was like watching a bit of a docu series of my acquaintances! I like Sheridan Smith - I find her very easy to watch and believable in most roles.

Really enjoyed the series. Loved the cast. Will I remember it as much as other comedy/dramas? I don't know but I had some laugh out loud moments and i definitely felt some affinity with the protagonist...

Loved Ardal O'Hanlon as dad. Very funny - typical Irish humour and Pauline McGurk constantly asking everyone's Christmas plans was very reminiscent of the irish females in my family!

Was it perfect? No. But I enjoyed it very much.

I'm baffled why anyone would think this is a good show. I don't know the lead actress, but she is simple terrible, although admittedly she carries off the part of a druggie and alchie very well. The thick make-up just makes it worse and adds to her general dissolute appearance.

None of the characters are particularly likeable.

I love Ardal O'Hanlan he looks on his neck half the time too... perhaps he was.. lol. Pauline McLynn could still have been on Father Ted, a far better prospect for both of them imho.

I couldn't have cared less if she gave it up or not, she clearly did not want to and I have no time for people like that, and the chaos they cause in other people's lives.

Not amusing at all.

I wasn't sure about this at first because I thought it was stuck somewhere between a drama and a sitcom and couldn't quite find its place, but I ended up absolutely loving it. At first I did not like how it didn't take addiction seriously, have it a false representation for the majority who suffer from it and glammed it up, but actually, once you accept this for the black comedy it is instead of perhaps expecting a proper drama that's matter of fact, it works well. I hope they make more. Sheridan Smith is always a treat to watch and when it comes to her acting, she's the best of British, this definitely deserves the time to finish through, and doesn't deserve the negativity it's getting.
