Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything

I wasn't sure about this at first because I thought it was stuck somewhere between a drama and a sitcom and couldn't quite find its place, but I ended up absolutely loving it. At first I did not like how it didn't take addiction seriously, have it a false representation for the majority who suffer from it and glammed it up, but actually, once you accept this for the black comedy it is instead of perhaps expecting a proper drama that's matter of fact, it works well. I hope they make more. Sheridan Smith is always a treat to watch and when it comes to her acting, she's the best of British, this definitely deserves the time to finish through, and doesn't deserve the negativity it's getting.

Can't understand the low ratings !! I'm only two episodes in but was hooked after watching one of the best openings to any new comedy I've seen in years . I know Sheridan Smith can play characters like Rosie standing on her head but she manages to make her both grotesque and lovable !! It also helps that it's not a one woman show , all the supporting cast are excellent but a special shout out to both Ardal O'hanlan and Pauline Mclynne for making her parents comedic but touching !! Really looking foward to the rest of the series but hoping there is no redemption for her and she doesn't give up everything.

This is a show if you're bored or not of a headache and aren't focusing it's really not that bad, but when you actually start to pay attention it's equal parts infuriating, stereotypical and shallow.

There are so many good opportunities to flesh the stories out in regards to her past, if the writers are hoping it's enticing people for a season 2, then no, 240 reviews for a new sky show says it all. Sky has gone down hill, green lighting anything and rebranding £3 dvd movies as sky premieres, just a pass.

What could've made this interesting was tying it to two pints, strangely similar to Janet who she portrayed in that, turned up to 11, think Sheridan still thinks she's that likeable girl out of that.

The annoying gay best friend, i genuinely feel sorry for how they continually get portrayed on tv as just awful people.

I'm baffled why anyone would think this is a good show. I don't know the lead actress, but she is simple terrible, although admittedly she carries off the part of a druggie and alchie very well. The thick make-up just makes it worse and adds to her general dissolute appearance.

None of the characters are particularly likeable.

I love Ardal O'Hanlan he looks on his neck half the time too... perhaps he was.. lol. Pauline McLynn could still have been on Father Ted, a far better prospect for both of them imho.

I couldn't have cared less if she gave it up or not, she clearly did not want to and I have no time for people like that, and the chaos they cause in other people's lives.

Not amusing at all.

Sheridan Smith is back again on familar territory playing another dysfunctional working class reprobate in this new Sky comedy.

The opening episode was very messy in terms of setup, she's hooked on booze and every drug she can get her hands on but we have no idea why. She makes a fool of herself at her younger brothers wedding by getting wasted and ending up in hospital but we don't know why?

Perhaps it was meant to intrigue but I was a bit bored, the plot had no pay off and I didn't believe in her character. For a comedy there were few laughs, just a few decent one-liners.

It was great to see Father Ted stalwarts Ardal O'Hanlan and Pauline McLynn but they didn't seem old enough to credibly be her parents. Rest of the supporting cast were weak.

Overall a bit meh all round. Might get better over time but I doubt it. I'm out.
