Am I Being Unreasonable?

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.

So excited to watch this and loved the opening episode. But then... Well. What is it? It's not funny enough to be a comedy. It's not thrilling enough to be a thriller. There are wild tonal shifts where it switches on a dime from soap to comedy to thriller. It feels like the producers said "we want Fleabag meets I Will Destroy You" but it's neither. What it is is an oddly muddled melodrama with two friends having fun playing unlikeable characters doing unrealistic random things, with bits of this show and bits of that thrown in. All in all, it overstays its welcome by at least 3 episodes. A strange show.

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.

Nic is in a loveless marriage, surviving on alcohol and the love of her son, her fortune's change when she meets Jen, on a drunken night, Nic reveals her big secret.

I thought this series was pretty awesome, if you're a lover of black comedy, this should be right up your street, it's clever, funny and definitely a little twisted.

The writing from Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli is the show's best feature, it stands apart from pretty much every recent comedy release, with perhaps the exception of Inside no 9, it's humour in that area.

Lots of laughs, lots of drama, it's one of those shows that crosses many genres, it's a comedy, it's a thriller, it's a whole lot more.

Nothing is quite what it seems, so expect the unexpected, more twists and turns than a ride at Alton Towers.

The acting is excellent, Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli are excellent, they share some great scenes together.

I came away from series one with lots of questions that still need answering, I cannot wait for series 2.

Superb, 9/10.

Discovered Daisy May Cooper rather late, at the recommendation of someone else watched This Country and it quickly became a favourite of mine. With so much British television set in cities and towns I love the fact that Daisy actively pushed for village life to be heard and seen. The witchfinder was an absolute mess of a show, and absolutely squandered her talents so am glad to see her back on TV working on such an enjoyably unique comedy/thriller/noir. Daisy and her co-writer Selin have concocted a truly bonkers and somewhat hellish universe here, occasionally comfy and cosy and then quickly sledgehammered with a queasy darkness. Some great performances and a unique journey.
