Enjoyable, light, cute, refreshing, modern comedy!
WhateverIWant2926 December 2023
It's brilliant, really enjoyed this so much that I binged it. It's refreshing and different instead of a re-hash of the same old cliches. Some sweet moments and laugh out loud moments. It's not perfect, but pretty much representative of what dating is like this days. The main characters are flawed, but often relatable and endearing in many ways.

One thing I will say, another reviewer mentioned political correctness - The show has no reference to race, ability or any political issue. How bizarre that in 2023 seeing an interracial couple or someone in a wheelchair on screen is viewed as a political statement or PC when it's just life in London. It's representative of where the comedy is set and everything on screen is pretty much the norm in modern London - The main actors are seasoned BBC, Channel 4 actors and in this, they are just people, people who have good chemistry, make sense in their situations and give good acting performances.

Watched all in one go, loved it.

Warning: Spoilers
Loved this show. Watched all 6 episodes on xmas eve. So many funny lines that had me laughing, written for the main female character Sammy (Danielle Vitalis). Love Aisling Bea anyway, and Jon Pointing from a channel 4 series he was in, in which he also played a nice guy (no quotation marks, a real nice guy!). It was refreshing to see healthy adult behaviour like the two women having civilised conversations when one is the new partner, and showing an actor with disabilities (Lisa Hammond) in everyday scenarios. It was perfect viewing for my xmas eve: easy, funny, heartwarming and inclusive. 10 stars.
