Sandylands

Tuned in for the first episode and quickly felt compelled to watch all 3. Lovable characters, a cracking seaside setting, a well-written script executed brilliantly by a 5-star cast. Sandylands is a breath of fresh air. Can't wait for Series 2. Only wish there were more episodes per series; it was too short.

Funny, serious. Loveable writing/acting.. Want to see what is next. Particularly liked Sanjeev Bhaskar as "Les Vegas." Bronwyn James/Simon Wade as police officers and Sophie Thompson as Jeannie Swallows

Watched this for a bit of light relief and escape from the news / doom and gloom and it's silly and lighthearted with lots of jokes, I don't mind that, in fact it's what I came for...

Underneath that though I liked the Emily and dad storyline, maybe I can relate as also had a shoddy dad... this has some good strong women in it, Emily is great and I love Tina, yes she's the comedy sidekick but also a larger than life character. Also genuinely nice to see main characters in a British comedy who are not all white, and their race is not the point of the plot!

A fantastic ensemble cast, great script, why doesn't this have a much higher rating? I would highly recommend this, and the second series is just as good as the first.

Easy watching comedy that has lots of relatable characters in. Sweet and heartwarming, it's a nice tale that doesn't take itself too seriously, but has lots of depth. Defo worth a watch, there had better be a season 2!
