Amandaland

Must get Series 2 immediately!!

Brilliantly acted, just love Joanna Lumley but all the supporting cast are so good.

The writing is very good, the teenage characters are expertly written.

Anne is acted so well, I long for her to get her own show too.

Lucy Punch is just brilliant as Amanda, she is always trying to do the right thing by her children, whilst being totally fake . It's an excellent dichotomy of her personality.

The storyline are engaging and fairly true yo family life motherland was also excellent so I'd re commend you watch that too. I was hoping they would do another series. This could be even better. Thanks.

Missed Motherland sooooooo much, so I couldn't wait to watch this show!!! This was an amazing spin off show. It was Absolutely laugh out loud hilarious, every episode got better and better !! Amanda & Anne are AMAZING characters, the two actresses that play them are absolutely insanely talented, they really make you cry with laughter sooo much!!! Six episodes wasn't enough at all and I wish they were an hour long not 30 minutes!!!! We Need more Amandaland! There has to be a series 2, it is on the same level as Motherland for me... BBC we need a series 2 this was absolutely hilarious 10000/10 !!!

This spin-off series is absolutely what we've been waiting for! It's hilarious, witty and entertaining, laugh out loud in pretty much every single scene and situation! I adore Amanda in this! I find her relatable, and embracing! She's so funny and comical! I love the new character too! So interesting and dimensional! I will be rewatching this again and again just like I have done with Motherland! Amanda is even more funny and hilarious in this spin-off! She's always been one of my favourites in the original show and in so happy they made this much needed show! It's really brightened my gloomy February and brought some much loved joy and warmth to it! Thank you!

This started off quite slow then found it's rhythm ... it's probably better to try and not compare this to the truly Amazing Motherland ... I did actually LOL and Sniggered quite a lot ... Johannes was an odd character ... I kept waiting for him to come out as some type of Scammer ... The Anne Character held firm and was a Strong part of the Episodes ... I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed Amandaland This started off quite slow then found it's rhythm ... it's probably better to try and not compare this to the truly Amazing Motherland ...

In short:

It's hard to root for Amanda, She needed a redeeming moment straight away so we could champion her, so unfortunately she's still the horrible person we saw in motherland.

Motherland is better, but I wouldn't be against watching a 2nd series.

I wrote quite a detailed, slightly negative review of this originally that took a lot of time and effort and for some reason it was deleted, hmmmm..

So that's why I gave the quick review up top.

And for the synopsis:

Recently divorced Amanda must navigate parenting teenagers in new surroundings after downsizing and moving to South Harlesden in London...
