Am I Being Unreasonable?

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.

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.

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).

Anyone who doesn't get this is just not meant to get it. It is beautifully, weirdly random and is a DARK comedy. It has an ACTUAL plot and back story despite what some may say - there is an unintelligent critics' review - IGNORE THIS - Daisy May is AMAZING as is Lenny Rush, who plays her son. Even the 'cameo' characters are hilarious. The writing is BRILLIANT and is timed well for Hallowe'en. Watch this if you are INTELLIGENT and love random, well written comedy, acted naturally. The set is strangely mellow and somewhat 'League of Gentlemen', with a sinister edge. I was hooked immediately and think anyone who likes clever, unusual writing will too!

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.
