Am I Being Unreasonable?

Well where do you go after starring and writing in the BAFTA award winning comedy This Country? Daisy May Cooper plays a totally different character stuck in a loveless marriage bringing up a disabled son with no friends and a family from hell. And then a new single parent Jen arrives in the town and they immediately strike up a friendship, after a while We discover that Jen has a dark sinister past and is not the person she seams to be. That just scratches the surface there our way to many sub plots to mention. All the cast are terrific but it's little Ollie played by Lenny Rush who steals the show giving one of the best child performances I have seen in years. I promise you will watch all 6 episodes back to back! 8/10.

Brilliantly written and observed, the chaos surrounding the lives of Nic (Daisy May Cooper) and Jen (Selin Hizli) are perfectly set against the backdrop of English village life. Great piece of writing by them both, and so well played. It may confuse some as it doesn't fit in the normal simple genre boxes, this is as life is, funny, dark, weird, confusing, heartwarming and it's simply something to enjoy without constraints. Ollie (Lenny Rush) absolutely steals every scene he is in and was perfectly cast. If you liked 'Dead to Me' then you will love this (and if you like this and have not seen 'Dead to Me' give that a watch).

I stumbled across this little gem when browsing for something different to watch. I am gkad I gound it as it really hit the spot. I thought the combo of humour and horror was perfectly balanced. It was very well cast, well acted and kept me intrigued. The ending was unpredictable and shocking although I was a little bewildered about Alex's reasons but I still thougarily enjoyed the series. It left me wanting more and I hope a second season will be commissioned. The kids were great especially. Ollie. I am sure others will agree he was the star of the show. I highly recommend this show to those who like a well acted dark comedy.

Clearly put together by people who know exactly what they are doing.

First season would have been enough. It was perfectly paced with real twists, your understanding of what is going in in every scene gets enhanced. Still lots of questions going into series 2, but it could have stood alone

After a slightly weaker start to series 2, the last three episodes are all brilliant so I'm glad they continued.

It's rare you get an actor knocking it out of the park. Here we have 3. Both female leads and of course the son. All three are magnetic, but if I am honest, I think the kid steals it. He manages to convey that "older than their years" thing some kids have, but also seems utterly vulnerable making you want to hug him. No spoilers, but his little scene at the end of series 2 is jaw-droppingly good.

Wow this was great. Idk what I was expecting but this was even better. Daisy Mae Cooper is a great writer, this was nothing like 'This Country' but just as good, full of twists and turns. The editing was superb and really elevated the storytelling. Funny and gripping, I binged it all in an evening, a great blend of comedy and thriller. The story progressed at the perfect pace, without feeling too over the top or unnatural. Kid was amazing, his comedic performance felt very mature and he had great chemistry with Daisy, they literally felt like a real mother and son. Similarly was the realationship between the female leads.
