Great script and actors. Very funny and quirky. Would love a 2nd series.
Thought Bridgette was great on Taskmaster and gave it a watch and binged the lot.
It's not just about the menopause. It's relatable to all those in a relationship. The cluelessness of her husband (Omid Djalili), the disdain of her teenage children and society's general denial of older women makes her realise she is worth more. I loved that she takes back some of those 3.5 million minutes of domestic drudgery (she's been keeping careful record) and hope lots of women start doing the same and head off on their own adventures.

As a (slightly) pre-menopausal male, I may not be the natural constituency for this show, but I hands-down loved it.
I've heard bits and pieces of Bridget Christie's comedy over the years, mostly on the radio, generally enjoying it but accepting it mostly as comic entertainment. This is a real step up: the writing is on point, big hearted and the larger than life West Country characters shine in every episode. There are laugh out loud moments in every episode.
The rustic folk-tinged score is a great counterpoint to the full range of tender to angry moments throughout. The central character's quest was not so different to my own mother's struggle to establish an identity as she hit her forties.

I saw a few minutes of this on a social media post promoting the new drama which prompted me to check it out. So glad I did... it was sensitively written with humour, a truly believable cast and story. I binged it over 2 nights (thanks Channel 4 for having it all streamable) and now I really want/need a second series, especially after how it ended!!
Definitely appeals to "women" & specifically those of us of a certain age - those of us who do feel invisible, men take note! It's time to wake up and realise we women are just over 50% of the world population so we DO matter and should be seen and have a voice.
Trees not roads, all hail The Eel Queen, "May all your transitions be joyful"

I watched this over two days. I really enjoyed watching the story develop to see what happens to the quirky village folk.
This series is funny, witty , well written and acted .
I love the portrayal of the leading lady of a menopausal mum of two and married with a husband . I laughed at the scene at the doctors It's so true . What the woman is going through wanting to find herself get a way from life .
I think any woman going through the menopause Will totally love this series .
I found it refreshing and enjoyable to watch . Just a shame that there's not any more series. As it only had 6 episodes feel they need to Make series 2.

My hubby and I loved this series. We hope there will be a series 2, crossing fingers!
We love this kind of quirky English humor, it sort of reminds us of the Detectorists which the whole family absolutely loved.
The naysayers, who give this series a poor rating, just don't understand the quirky humor and whimsy that this show brings.
I am sad for them as they are missing out.
Maybe one needs to have an English heritage to get it?
We acted, well scripted, poignant and charming.
Turn off your need for something slick and open your heart to the pleasure of honest, loving, funny people who are willing to be part of a village.
