A real feel good, easy watching romantic comedy series. Would definitely recommend if you don’t know what to watch next and want to watch something that doesn’t require you to think too hard. Hope for a second season.
Normally I don’t care for British comedy, but this is a real gem. Great chemistry between the two lead actors. It is just a real witty comedy/love story. And in a year like this last year has been, it’s nice to see something that everyone is not in a mask.
It’s written by the female lead who is from New Zealand.
This show is a major disappointment. Unlike the other commenter, I like (and have watched loads of) British comedies; I was primed to like this, but it absolutely falls flat.
The major problems are that
the show relies on several implausibilities to push the plot forward, not the least of which is that
I virtually always watch everything to the end, but by the start of Ep 5, I was done. If you want a comedy with quirky characters, skip this and instead try Rosehaven (whose female lead, Australian comic Celia Pacquola, does pull off big-personality-is-compensating-for-insecurities), Detectorists, The Letdown, or Fisk.
I don’t agree on any of those points. For one the lead actress is the writer and she’s from New Zealand. So although it’s set in England I definitely get the down under vibe from it.
I really like the lead character, she’s big and bold and doesn’t hide her flaws. I also don’t think she’s significantly less attractive than her. I think she looks great and he looks a bit sickly. Also she meets him when she’s drunk so the fact she doesn’t recognise him isn’t a big deal. I also think the chemistry between them works well it’s not a stupid Hollywood sexually loaded bit it’s more of a banter that shows in their silliness and joy just being together along with a shared sense of humour, reminds me of the joy in finding someone who ‘gets you’ in amongst the millions wandering the streets.
I do agree that the list of Aussie comedies are great, most BBC fans would love as well.
I know that Rose M. wrote it and stars, but that doesn’t make a difference to any of my points. I’ve read your post, and I’m respectfully disagreeing. That said, no show or person or entity will be liked by everyone. Best wishes.
I’m so glad this is back for a second season. Such a good modern romantic comedy. I can’t wait to watch the rest.
Honestly a great watch I saw the poster of it this afternoon and after a quick read of the synopsis I was like “bet”. Now here I am wishing that the 3rd season was already out. Like wow what a quick burn as I saw an episode was ending my mouse was moving to start the next episode I find this romcomdram absolutely charming. I couldn’t get enough watching this lovable quirky cook of a character that Rose Matafeo displays so wonderfully. Definitely a good watch if you’re in the need of something light.
Pssst: “Link discussion” isn’t “link requests,” which — as noted a few inches above — should be made in the forum. :)
