Teto Para Dois

A very predictable storyline in terms of trajectory and ending but my wife and I both enjoyed it (especially my wife) and made for good viewing on a very rainy gloomy day (which we've had an awful lot of for so many weeks now) The lead characters were very likeable: the hero throughout and the heroine more and more as the series progressed. Some of the villains were very good too, especially Leon's girlfriend, who put in a deft performance. On the other hand, the heroine's ex-boyfriend was a bit hammy at times and close to over-acting although I get that they wanted to portray him as psychotic. His 'entrance' at the awards ceremony was hilarious.

As for locations - I think I spotted Exmouth Market - there weren't enough street scenes. A lot went on in small rooms and so the filming felt claustrophobic at times. I'd also criticise the music, which was pretty awful, cheesy, generally sub-par.

The subplot about Mr Prior and his lost love got a bit twee and very predictable. Surely the writer could have done a little better on that front?

Since I've read a book just a month ago I was very excited to watch its tv adaptation.

I loved Jessica and Anthony, they were both great and I liked their chemistry. Actually all of the actors were good.

Sometimes this series felt a little slow, sometimes boring, but at the end I liked it. I think it didn't need to be 6 episodes, maybe 4 would have been enough. They have changed a bit of what was written in a book but that really didn't matter.

I give it 6 stars because I would love this series to be more dynamic and I would love another music in the show because it was too background.

Check it out.

Absolutely loved this series, not too cheesy , you know what's going to happen from the start but , it's such a programme with really sad moments in it , happy moments, funny moments and 100% brilliant watch.

Really liked the unusual set out of the story with the flat share , I don't know if this happens in real life but , as soon as this series started , episode 1 had me hooked , such likeable characters and a great cast , all the actors were amazing and Tiffany and Leon , 2 absolutely great looking people , but sorry Justin , I know he was acting but what an absolute butt hole , great program.

Watch this then read the book. The series is kind of watchable. I just finished the book and went straight to watch the series but this series just shares the idea that a man and woman share a bed night and day but nothing else is the same.

The best friend at work in the book is now a jealous work rival.

Leon's nice girlfriend is snoopy and jealous and interfering.

When Tiffany calls her best friend who is a male his flat mate is shown stopping him talking to her so they can kiss.

This series shows women to be mean and manipulative and back stabbing which is 100% opposite from the message in the book.

And tiff, mr prior, Justin and hollys character are someone new altogether.

The book is wonderful uplifting look at a woman who is an individual free spirit but has been made to feel small and useless through abuse but through all kinds of female support she sees she has been used badly and tries to move forward. The romance goes alongside the friendships. Here women are all against each other and only a man can save you!

I could go on describing how all the wonderful feminist values the book had have been pulverised in this series but really just read the book.

I really liked the acting and the story, the music not so much. Jessica and Anthony were quite natural and very good together. I couldnt stop watching cause I wanted to see when Leon would have got rid of his terrible girlfriend and Tiffany her abnoxious boyfriend. I really liked the Brighton scenery, reminded me of old times. Since I havent read the book I can be no expert but It was more like a romantic dramedy than a comedy, I think. With a different soundrack it would have been great! Ok, maybe 6 episodes were too many but then again 4 episodes wouldnt be enough! Dont miss it! You should definitely give it a go!
