She is brilliant as a comedy actress, but I just can't get on with Mandy. Too much face pulling gets a bit annoying. 🙄 Her other roles are fantastic, like After Life and Cunkt she's amazing.
I almost turned it off a few minutes into first episode, but then it got CREEPY and reminded me of an I Love Lucy episode. These episodes are only 15 mins long, so it's a quick watch/binge. The 4th episode, Fish, was also hilarious. Mandy reminds me of a Daddy Long Legs as she stomps around town. She is mostly a selfish, lazy child-woman, but she does have a heart after all. Not for everyone, but had some very funny and cringy bits. ;D
If you like your comedy broad, short and simple then this may be the answer. Mandy runs through her confused life creating surreal chaos in short 22 minute episodes. Loved the poisonous spiders sneaking through on the banana shipments. Worth a watch to see if it your cup of tea
Mandy is mental. Both the character and the show.
Proper belly laughs from both the dialogue and Mandy's squinty pouty mouth thing.
Great cast, snappy 15 minute episodes that leave you wanting more and the always amazing Diane Morgan.
Diane Morgan is a genius!
Another series would be most welcome. Keep the 15 minute length as it fits surprisingly well and makes sure neither Mandy or the storylines outstay their welcome.
Possibly my 2020 comedy of the year!

The entire show is beautiful in its simplicity, broad comedic strokes delivered with an element of sadness and the result is stunning to watch. From the wacky situations to Diane Morgan's stunning portrayal of Mandy. It was perfect. I also enjoyed the abrupt editing and the perfunctory use of music. The cinematography, while simple in parts, felt like it had purpose. Every shot felt meaningful and impactful, compared to some shows where the camerawork is utilised to fill time.
Overall I want to see more of this, but I don't want the format to change. The reason being that the 15 minute format forces the show to be as concise as possible which I think really benefits the show.
BBC, make more please!
