Why is this American writing about a 90s British sitcom? Simply because it was one of Kate Winslet's first regular acting roles. I'm a huge fan of hers and while she isn't the main character, she does play a fairly prominent role in several episodes, with the series finale showing off her acting chops the most. One thing to note, as I am an American, some of the British slang and fast mumbling (especially by the old man) was difficult for me to follow. At the moment (2022), all the episodes are on YouTube although a couple are a bit sketchy especially if you are watching on a TV or large monitor. It took awhile to gain sympathy for these characters because even though they lost everything, they were all pretty bratty in season one. Season two is much better in that regard and even though I think the series was starting to get better, I'm glad it ended when in did because if not, maybe Kate Winslet gets comfortable in TV and never becomes the international star she was meant to be.
