I was hesitant to watch this and had no idea what to expect but my husband and I really enjoyed this film. So unique and I loved the characters, I was gripped and couldn't look away! Very erotic and sensual with a gripping storyline that keeps you engaged. It's not hyper realistic towards the end but I still enjoyed it! So nice to have a break from the same boring movies, this was a breath of fresh air. More films like this please. Gritty, dramatic, seductive and psychologically satisfying.

On episode 5 and I'm so impressed! I usually hate reboots but this is truly heart warming and hilarious. I was a die hard fan of the original. I watched it as a kid and re-watched 3x as an adult. I was afraid to try this, but so glad I did! It's witty, well written, sensitive without being preachy and truly endearing! Wonderful strong female and male characters and I love the kids too, it doesn't try to be the original series but gives enough nods to be nostalgic. Very well made. A lot of love and care has gone into this great series.

I am astounded by this program, when I saw the initial trailer I honestly thought it looked like nonsense, it wasn't painted in a good light at all. I only really checked it out due to morbid curiosity.

Well here we are nearing the end of Season 2 and I am still absolutely glued to the screen. I look forward to Mondays simply to see this.

Such an incredibly accurate portrayal of life as a teenager in 90s England, this show brings a lot back for me, good and bad. It takes many twists and turns, but our constant is Rae, insecure, sweet, broken, amazing Rae, she is so relatable it's almost upsetting at times, yet reassuring too.

A real life account of a battle with mental illness, while trying to fit in, trying to grow up, this show tackles issues few have tried to before and it works, seamlessly. I think we needed a character and a program like this, to highlight the demons that those with depression and self image issues deal with every day.

I don't really watch TV, but mine is on every Monday now at 10pm without fail, the music is awesome, the characters get straight in to your heart. It's hilariously funny, and yet gritty all at once. I love Rae's Mum, she is absolutely bonkers. It's perfection.

I simply cannot praise My mad fat diary enough. I hope it will be around for many many more seasons. This is not just entertainment, it's a lifeline for many, this is clear just browsing the comments on their Facebook page. If you haven't watched it, get to 4OD and start now, but be warned you will not be able to turn away.
