Things You Should Have Done

BBC commissioners must be insane to commission a series like this. The low standard of material is evident. They throw lots of comedic talent at it to try and make it work. But the central premise feels like a random person off the street was handed a show and let loose. There's nothing to like about the main characters. The central character Chi thinks she's original, but she's just a mash up of neurosis that we've seen before. She's the teenage daughter from Here We Go. She's the sister from Such Brave Girls. Bland, self-centred, consciously self-conscious. It's so boring. Where's the clever punchlines and the sitcom setups? This series thinks we should all laugh at awkwardness. And that's it. Look at the main characters being awkward and glancing at their phones. Oh, ha ha ha. What happened, BBC? You used to make world class sitcoms. Now, you make this.

I am honestly a massive fan of absurdist stuff and theatre, and I think anyone leaving a poor review just doesn't get the fact that its absurdity is purposeful.

Then again, absurdity isn't for everyone. But for anyone who enjoys subversive/new comedic stuff that's satisfying but not laugh out loud (which I honestly prefer sometimes), you should definitely check this out.

Great writing from Lucia, and very well acted. Particularly loved Lucas and Karen. Thought Karen very accurately portrayed an uptight but ultimately caring (unwilling) maternal figure, and the absolute shenanigans the characters got up to made every episode unexpected and entertaining.

Great show! Watched all six episodes in one night. Need to see more.

Finally some new talent with a fresh take on comedy. The whole family set up is just great! The hint at YouTube with the clips! Wow what a clever idea. The characters are so well thought out and link with great chemistry which pulls through in each episode.

The nursing home episode is my absolute favorite, followed by the final episode which I feel wraps everything up so amazingly.

100% recommend watching this. I promise you will not be disappointed.

This girl definitely has a bright future ahead of her.

Can't wait to see more of this girl!!!!!

We need season 2 as soon as possible !!!

Absolutely love Chi - the innocence, naivity and the one liners!!! Love how we get snippets of what's going in her brain!

Storyline is a good - nothing something I've seen before.

However the older sister Karen - very annoying, boring, added nothing to the series. Not funny at all. Maybe that's what she was meant to be but it was grating to hear a constant complaints and the dialogue from her was very predictable.

Love the dancing at the end of each episode and the choice of songs in the series. And how's it's set in some random seaside town in England.

Give it a go - to the people here saying it's bad acting - you don't 'get It'

Love this show! It's very funny but very dry, so if you don't appreciate dry humour you probably won't like it. It reminds me a lot of 'This Country'. I've watched Lucia for years and this did not disappoint! She's very talented and doesn't take her self too seriously which I love.

Currently binge watching the lot! On episode 4 and enjoying every minute :) my fave episode so far was episode 2. So funny.

I actually started watching it because Joanna Page said it was 'boring' and Lucia's reaction made me laugh. Hope they make a season 2 and prove the haters wrong!

Still need 30 characters to submit my review so this sentence is a filler.

Watch this series!! :)
