I find it particularly intriguing how this show elicits such polarized opinions among its audience. It's a whimsically crafted series that masterfully weaves together elements of humor and absurdity, offering a fresh perspective on storytelling. The performance by Amy Lou Wood as the lead is nothing short of delightful; she brings a vibrant energy and charismatic charm that truly captivates the viewer. The show's charm lies in its ability to embrace lightheartedness, inviting viewers to indulge in its playful narrative without any reservations.

Personally, I found the experience both entertaining and thought-provoking. The clever writing and quirky character dynamics kept me engaged throughout. If you approach this series with a relaxed mindset and an openness to its unconventional style, rather than scrutinizing it through a serious lens, you'll discover a treasure trove of joy and laughter. It's certainly a gem worth watching for anyone seeking a delightful escape from the mundane.

For the first series of a comedy show it's surprisingly good. The rapour between the leads is great and they're are a lot of good laughs. Not everything lands but it's one of the best new comedies I've seen in a long time. I've laughed out loud at least once per episode and had a beaming smile in most episodes as well.

Give the first two episodes a go if you're not sure. The first episode is probably the weakest so that's the best way to get a feel if the show is for you. It can be a bit predictable at times but that isn't really a bad thing and so I hope they make more of it! It's certainly better than the other recent comedy pilots on the BBC.

This actually made me giggle, which is quite a rare thing these days. BBC has pumped out lots of garbage since 2020, but this was a good mix of sweet and funny. I did not expect to enjoy this in the slightest, but I was pleasantly surprised. The main characters are great actors - it was good to see some familiar faces in the casting, and the storyline was very simple but still interesting. It's also nice to see a father-daughter storyline. I really hope this gets another season. Will definitely be watching again.

Well played BBC. You definitely got this one right! I look forward to next season.

Aimee Lou Wood is new to me, but so impressed. A very engaging, natural actor who the camera seems to love. A UK Jenna Ortega even? Fresh presence, who I could also see being deeply effective in a heavy tv drama.

Have enjoyed David Morrissey for decades and will be intriguing to see how his weak/wet father character develops.

Hoping this show maintains the fresh approach and sharp splashes of wit ("Argos vouchers" etc).

Could be a great year for BBC comedy, who have already blessed us with inspired female roles and writing, allowing them free reign. I'd also recommend Such Bad Girls. Well observed and arrived fully-formed. Inspired slapstick and clever throwaway lines, while not shying away from mental issues with a deft / realistic touch.

A solid first episode, with 2 unusually strong, individual leads. Hoping the show continues not taking the obvious routes and flushing out support roles.

With two great actors leading the line up in David Morrisey and Aimee-Lou, a fantastic pairing, who brought this comedy to life. The straight up one liners, contrasted by a great cast throughout the scenes within the show, really took this show to another level.

The writing, acting and direction of the show, all came together to bring together a hapless young person, who is following a certain energy, to becoming a young mum, whilst her dad evolves and becomes a true dad and grandfather, after a poor marriage.

A great series and glad to have watched this. A great show, worth watching! Ignore the other reviews.
