Trying

This started as a lovely quirky comedy about a couple 'trying' to become parents. The first three series were generally filled with a good mix of belly laughs and an occasional tear. Light, fun, moving in equal parts. But the fourth series is almost unwatchable. Trying far too hard to be funny. Developing stories for characters that lack any warmth or connection to the viewer. For a series that was meant to be about the struggles of parenthood, there is not a great deal of struggling. It seems the best 6 years have been missed out of the parenting loop... and belly laughs have turned to embarrassing groans. What a shame... trying too hard!

I'm loving this series as of now. Currently on episode 4. I really hope there'll be season 2. Apple TV is producing great shows. My top 3 are The morning show, Mythic Quest & Trying.

Keep up the good work!

A lovely cast of interesting characters who immediately catch your interest. The office colleague being the highlighted. She was under used and could have definitely added more.

The storyline was a little predictable but the acting quality managed to keep the story going and keep your interest. I really believed in the two main characters and all the characters surrounding them so no matter what the story did I could follow it and buy into it.

The story has its ups and its downs and it's funny and it's serious. The cliche emotional rollercoaster applies to this program. The true test being near the end when you really start to feel for the characters and the emotion it generates.

This is a high-quality TV series that is filmed well and is very entertaining. I enjoyed it very much I look forward to a second series which will hopefully come soon. Recommended viewing 👍

How delightful. Another Apple show to watch in bed on my iPad. Which doesn't have unlimited space left. Original material no less! The episodes are like eating peanuts. I like both leads for their gentle silliness which is also clever. Jason and Nikki are believable as a couple, and so comfortable with each other that you settle in with blankets like you do when you know you're safe with a show. I'm a little tired of caustic put downs and thankfully the writers have avoided that technique here. I'm rooting for this show!

We've been through the adoption process and this bought back so many memories. It takes you through every emotion we felt and I so well acted. If I could have given this higher than 10 I would have!
