Queenie

This show has so many layers to it. A 25 year old woman living in a modern urban existence attempting at navigating her career, her relationship and family through a quarter life crisis..Queenie gets deep on the varying dimensions of relationships, friendships, coping in life through alcohol abuse, sexual abuse and the difficulty a lot of young people have in todays modern "dating app" era in wanting to feel loved and needing a relationship. Queenie brings many interesting stories in to short episodes of drama that leave you hooked and make you wanting to come back for more each time. I'm sure that many many people can relate to the narratives. Brilliant would thoroughly recommend! At times the story can be jerky and jump around a bit quickly making it appear less believable but at times very funny, sad, interesting and above all a great watch.

I'm a White American Male in my 60's. So let's just say that I'm not sure the creators were thinking of someone like me when they were trying to market this series. But you know what? I really liked it. The reason? Because if something is very good, then it's very good, and it really doesn't matter what age, gender, etc. You are. And Queenie is very, very good.

It starts out on a more comedic tone, but then gets more serious. The writing is super-sharp, and the story is very interesting and poignant.

Right now, it appears this is just a one-off, but I sure hope they bring this back for a Season #2!

This isn't normally the type of show I watch. Admittedly, I put it on for noise in the background while I did other things however, pretty much right from the beginning it grabbed me. It's a very honest look into young women's lives and makes it OK to feel the way we feel, I don't have any information on producer Director or actors but I can tell you that they did a great job writing and casting this show. I am almost done with the eighth episode and I'm very excited to get a season two to see what is coming for Queenie. By the way, she is a great actress and I hope to see her more things Love love love.

This is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be and more. I'm a real book lover girlie so ofcourse I read the book first and I was sooooo excited to know there would be a tv adaptation. I had the release set on my calendar and everything! OH MY GOSH...From the accuracy in casting of even the most minor characters to the attention to detail, I felt like I was reading the book all over again (in the best way possible)

I LOVE Queenie and nobody could have executed the role as well as Dionne Brown did. Thank you to the Producer for making magic and bringing to life the crazy world of our beloved "Queenie"💐

I'm currently only 4 episodes through this series but so far it's been honest, refreshing and raw. Also from what I remember of the book (I read it a while ago) it's pretty true to its original form, which I'm glad of as I found Candice Carty-Williams portrayal of heartbreak, female friendships and complex family relationships heartwarming and relatable.

Despite other reviews I haven't found Queenie 'one dimensional', I think her actions and presentation are true to a young girl with unresolved trauma battling through the best she can. Personally I think this is what's so refreshing about the show and book. She isn't perfect, you definitely find yourself wanting to scream at her to stop and think sometimes when she gets herself in dangerous, damaging and embarrassing situations. But as a 26 year old woman it's true the group chat, who hasn't felt like that about a friend or themselves in retrospect sometimes!

I can't wait to watch the rest of the show, well done to all involved.
