Queenie

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!

After watching the show in it's entirety I can see why people would think the lead character is unlikeable initially, but once the story develops it shows her vulnerability, her struggle and strength which develops increasing that emotional connection and understanding who she really is and what's important in her life. You can see the tone of the program change half way through, it becomes less laughter and more dramatic, shot tighter to show more emotion and it felt more engaging. Overall it was a great watch, there was some exceptional acting it was easy to follow and well executed. Well done Onyx and Channel 4.

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.

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"💐

Just finished the first (and only?) season and loved it! On the surface it seems like a carefree comedy/drama, but it's so much more. I felt it was actually deep and moving. I will not be able to review it as eloquently as it deserves so just take my word for it and watch it. It has everything - drama, comedy, romance, it'll make you cry, and hello, Samuel Adewunmi... My favorite characters were Queenie of course, but also Grandma and Frank. I loved them all actually (except all the random men). One of the best shows I've seen lately - and I'm hard to please! It was a little hard for me to understand at times so I had to use the subtitles lol.
