The 'alternative London' in this is odd and laughable in its view. However, the acting and characters are very believable and the storyline is interesting.

So it's definitely worth watching to see where it goes.

The basic premise is that a group of strangers share their lives, loves, accomodation and social awkwardness together. Sadly using clumsy social interaction in this series simply isn't funny. It gives a sense of disjointed weirdness without any substance. The characters are all unrealistic in an OTT way. The storylines are disjointed and lack any entertainment value unless you like adults acting like they're on acid.

I expected this to be worth watching with some degree of subtlety and wit. How wrong could I be ? The wife character is basically too stupid to be realistic and the husband driving instructor behaves in a ridiculous manner. The acting is OK considering quite how bad the script actually is. The characters are unbelievable two dimensional shallow fools. Such a waste for Martin Clunes.
