Don't go by the low rating or bad reviews. It's quite good !
23 May 2024
Too Good To Be True is a channel 5 mini series psychological drama thriller. Which aired in 2024.

Starring Allen Leech and Kara Tointon.

It's about Obsession,power and what goes on behind closed doors.

Despite the low rating and some negative reviews it's surprisingly good. So don't be fooled.

The first episode was good just persevere with it as the series does get better.

It's little predictable but a good watch !!!

Too Good To Be true is intense and thrilling to watch !!

Acting was good ! Least Kara Tointon is more of a natural actress than Michelle keegan. She is not so wooden. Kara Tointon is more believable!!

Allen Leech is such a brilliant actor I think he played the part extremely well he was the one you stood out more in this drama.

Overall it surprised me that it's not a bad watch for a channel 5 drama I've seen some rubbish in my time. So I know what is good regarding tv and acting.

Give it a watch as it's good!!

Back to Black (2024)
9/10
Don't go by the negative reviews/ rating its surprisingly very good !!!
15 April 2024
Back to Black is a 2024 drama based on the iconic legacy of Amy Winehouse.

It tells the story of her music and what really happened behind her career and the addictions she battled with and her relationship with Blake Field Civil.

So after seeing the trailer for the first time I said to my friend we need to watch this as I love her music and was and still to this day is an iconic artist.

After hearing mixed reviews I wasn't sure what direction there were going to take this film.

Surprisingly it was brilliant!!

It was done tastefully and the storyline was told on exactly what happened in her life.

The story its self is rather dark but she had issues and it was being told. And that was her life you can't lie about that. It's just a very sad story!!

Back to Black is a story about Amy Winehouse she wanted people to know her for her music and the way she is. It's not about being famous.

It's an incredible movie and it was directed and produced in a way as a tribute to the artist.

The music was amazing !!!

Marisa Abela is no doubt incredible in playing Amy wine house she sings exactly like her even looks like her if anyone disagrees then I think there must be deaf or blind. It took lot of studying to get the part right and she was superb.

True fact it's her real voice. She did amazing job So give her credit !! Not slag her off.

The casting of Blake was brilliant Spot on Casted very well.

The question is ?

Is he to blame for Amy Winehouse's death you watch it decide for yourself.

I've seen Elvis, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Rocket man.

The Amy winehouse is far better than Rocketman as it was done tastefully and there knew when to stop rather than taking it to far and making it even more darker.

It's lot better than what people are saying Don't be fuelled by the low rating/ reviews it's actually brilliant and it's the story about her.

It's not pictured to make her look bad it's just her story being told.

I'm normal right and this is a must watch!!

My only criticism is I would have like to know more about her relationship with her mum and dad and her childhood.

Which i think people would agree after seeing the Movie

So if you like Movies like Elvis and Bohemian Rhapsody and then this is a must watch !!!

This is one to watch at Cinemas Now !!

Sit back get comfy get the popcorn 🍿 out And get to know the true story of the iconic legacy of Amy Winehouse and what's behind the Lyrics.

A true story!!

Quote of the film ( Its not a Spoiler) I'm no spicy Girl I'm just me I'm Amy wine house and I'm not changing for anyone.

A global superstar.

Does contain bad language, drugs and alcohol abuse.

( Not sure if it's suitable for children)

Out now In all Cinemas!!!

For Her Sins (2023)
7/10
Don't go by the negativity it's surprisingly really good !!!
25 March 2024
For Her Sins is a channel 5 suspense mystery thriller drama starring (Eastenders) star Jo Joyner and (Hollyoaks) star Rachel Shenton as the leading actresses.

Featuring 4 episodes.

So after scanning through My 5 for things to watch I thought this looks pretty decent and apparently my mum had watched it in the past and said it was good.

The first episode was really good, if you start watching it and think 'oh no I'm not going to like this give it chance as I'm telling you now it does get better throughout.

I was definitely hooked. Can't quite believe the negativity it's actually good for a channel 5 drama.

The storyline is good it keeps you on the edge of your seat lots of twist and turns and is entertaining to watch.

It's an easy watch mystery thriller drama you don't have to really concentrate.

I was impressed with the acting the two leading actresses were good made it very believable. Now this is a drama that Jo Joyner is good in (fact one of her best) It's well better than Ripped Tide.

Least she is better actress than some of these soap stars who are trying to make it such as Michelle keegan who is definitely over rated.

Joy Joyner deserves more recognition than Michelle keegan that's for sure.

Overall it was a good 4 part drama and was impressed. Really enjoyed it.

A word of advice don't go by the negative comments/ score you don't know till you watch it yourself.

So if you like easy watching programs like Midsummer murders, The Catch, The flood then this is right up your street.

Sit back and watch FOR HER SINS which streaming on MY 5 Right now.

You will be surprised just how good it is !!!

That's why it's a 7/7.

17 March 2024

A fledgling CIA lawyer gets caught up in a dangerous game of international politics.

So after hearing of so many people how good this was and my mum and dad watched it and said it was brilliant I had to watch it.

OMG it was fantastic!!!

When I started watching the first episode I thought it's a little slow but it picks up in the second episode and gets better throughout so just persevere with it. It's only getting started with the storyline.

The storyline was really good very gripping you just wanted to watch more. It certainly is a thriller and you will be entertained.

Acting superb especially from Noah Centineo (Owen Hendricks) and Laura Haddock. ( Max) In fact all the cast were good in their roles.

The Recruit is definitely worth the watch I really enjoyed it. It has you on the Edge of your seat with a gripping storyline and some twists and turns some action scenes to.

It's not as a good as the Nite agent but still a great watch.

It's like watching a movie !!!

Blindspot (2023– )
7/10
Please please ignore the negative comments/ rating it's very clever and a brilliant watch!!!
25 February 2024
Blindspot is a 2023 drama mystery thriller which consists of 4 episodes.( The last episode is 45 mins not 2 hours)

The Channel 5 thriller Blindspot stars former Eastenders star Ross Kemp as a detective who investigates a mysterious death.

While Hannah who is a CCTV Operator witnesses a murder after a girl disappears.

The leading actresses is superb she makes it with the storyline. Don't be fooled by the negative reviews/ rating.

My mum told me how good this 4 part drama was so had to watch it.

OMG surprisingly it was really good.

The storyline was brilliant from the very first episode all the way through to the final one it had you on the edge of your seat.

It certainly a different take on a normal detective drama but it worked really well.

Had loads of twists and turns and kept you guessing throughout.

Channel 5 has done well with this one people don't know what a good storyline is.

The acting from the main character Beth Alsbury ( Hannah) was incredible such a good actress she was the star of Blindspot.

Ross kemp not so much I think the part should have been played by a different actor that's my only criticism. He was okay. Not the best.

Overall it was a good watch.

If you want to watch a drama mystery thriller with a good storyline then this it. The lead actress is good to that's the best thing about Blindspot.

People didn't get it right on here with the low score/ reviews cause it turned out it was actually very good.

So if you like crime dramas and want to be hooked in to a great storyline then watch this !!!

It was bloody brilliant for me to say this it's got to be.

Get watching now streaming on My 5 !!

Enjoy 😊

Upgraded (2024)
6/10
Surprisingly good. Not a bad movie !!!
21 February 2024
Upgraded is a 2024 American romantic comedy film starring (riverdale) Camila Mendes along side Archie Renaux.

Ana, dreaming of a career in the art world, while trying to impress her demanding boss, Claire. When she is upgraded to first class on a plane she meets a handsome bloke. He mistakes her for her boss and then the lies begins.

I like Camila Mendes she was good in riverdale and this movie looked pretty decent. Like romantic comedy's.

This film is completely different to normal romantic movies storyline was good.

Little predictable in places but still a good watch !!!

When the film first starts I wasn't sure but it does get better just have to persevere with it the storyline is very interesting and was directed and produced very well.

The acting was good, it certainly it's cheesy, Camila Mendes is a talented actress and with the leading actor you can't certainly tell there is chemistry. On the other hand Anthony Head was wasted in this he is incredible actor and deserved a better role.

Overall a nice light hearted romantic film to watch not much comedy but it certainly is not a bad watch, I've seen much worse.

If you like devil wears Prada or the partner track then you will love this. You can sit and watch on your own or with friends.

Get comfy and enjoy I certainly did !!!

Mean Girls (2024)
7/10
Pretty good to be fair. First one is much better obviously!!!
29 January 2024
Mean Girls is a 2024 an American musical teen comedy film.

It is based on the broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was based on Mark Water's 2004 comedy film the Original Mean Girls which starred Lindsay Lohan.

A student gets caught in the crosshairs of elite group of popular girls called the plastics.

So I am in my 30's and have seen the original film in 2004 with Lindsay Lohan in and it was brilliant 10/10 there was nothing not to like. Lot of young girls liked it and was popular. A smash hit film !

We are now in 2024 a new take on the classic film Mean Girls. It's more modern, you have social media so that's more involved in the film of course it's going to be more cheesier and definitely more dramatised.

Where to begin: The story is pretty much the same so is the characters the only difference is there is lot more music/ dancing but then it is a musical. And the fact that main girl comes from a different country.

This new generation of Mean Girls was surprisingly good not a patch on the original but then they never are. I think they produced and directed this pretty well considering.

It's more of a musical than comedy, there are some scenes that were funny. The acting is definitely over the top.

Not so mean as the first film.

The singing was pretty good so was the dancing the best thing about this movie was Damian Hubbard and Auli 'i Cravalho and the leading lady Angourie Rice. Now there were good stood out more and delivered a good performance throughout.

Considering it was a remake I didn't mind it quite enjoyed it.

If you are a teenager and never seen the first movie then you would probably love it.

It's typical girlie film don't think men would like it lol.

It kind of reminded me of Barbie just not as good.

So if you are adult and like things like Barbie, and glee, Greatest days then you love it.

If you have children/ teenagers and thinking about taking them or you are a teenager and like movies like High school musical, little mermaid,Matilda then I'm sure they will love it.

Don't go in thinking thats it going to be as brilliant as the first mean girls cause it's not otherwise you will be disappointed.

All I can say is watching this movie is what you would see in the theatre if I'm being honest.

Don't go by the low rating or negative reviews cause they do get it wrong and so do people. Then it turns out that movie is actually good.

Make a decision and watch it for yourself and then decide. It's good considering it's a remake.

Sit back get comfy and enjoy.

In cinema/ theatres right now.

After the Flood (2024– )
10/10
Ignore the low score/ review. Produced/ Directed by Happy Valley. It's Brilliant!!!
22 January 2024
After the flood( Tv Series) is a 2024 mystery thriller containing 6 episodes.

It stars Sophie Rundle as PC Joanne Marshall, a police officer investigating the death of an unidentified man after a natural disaster struck.

OMG this is so good produced and directed from the makers of Happy Valley and the story is kind of like the line of duty. Ignore the low rating and negative reviews it's so good.

The story telling is superb if you watch the first episode and think, this not that good you have to persevere with it as the program does get better as it goes on. Give it time!

Acting is great from all the cast. Each actor/ actresses plays the characters extremely well and makes the characters they play very believable.

This is what you call brilliant acting not like Fool Me Once with Michelle Keenan who is just so wooden.

After the Flood is a suspense thriller and with plenty of twist and turns throughout you would not want it to end. If anything you will be hooked I certainly was and so did my friends and family.

After watching Fool me once with Michelle Keegan in then to After the flood you can certainly tell which the better program is.

After the flood is so much better well the acting certainly is and so much more believable .

It's definitely worth the watch !

Don't why the low rating and the negative reviews but people don't know what good television is.

This is one to watch at the minute and if I'm being completely honest it's so much better than Fool me once.

So if you like suspense and mystery and like thrillers like Happy Valley, Line of Duty and Vigil then you will love this.

Just to goes to show they don't get it right with the ratings/ reviews. It's just best to watch it for yourself and decide but I think it's fantastic.

So sit back and enjoy a British crime thriller mystery drama I'm sure you will be hooked.

Streaming on ITV X now.

Get watching! It's definitely a 10/10 from most people I've spoken to.

Fool Me Once (2024)
7/10
A good thriller. The lead actress was not very good !!!
10 January 2024
Fool me once is a 2024 British mystery thriller drama starring Michelle Keegan as the main character.

Maya spots someone who is supposed to be dead on the nanny cam at home.

When I saw the trailer and saw that Richard Armitage and Emmett J Scanlan is in this I was like need to watch this both brilliant actors.

Seeing Michelle Keegan playing the lead role was like don't think this going to work. Maybe there should have chosen someone with better acting skills for the part. That explains why Julie Robert's was up for playing the role in the first place but due to other commitments she couldn't.

Could have chosen someone better.

Michelle Keegan is okay she is over rated very wooden, no facial expression that's probably cause of all the work she has done on her face that's why her acting is not particularly very good can only play the typical soap characters. No movie star there

But what made the Tv series good is : Great storytelling Lot of twists and turns Edge on your seat you just can't help wanting to watch more.

And the superb acting from Richard Armitage, Emmett J Scanlan and the detective Adeel Akhtar that's what made it stand out.

The only thing got let down was the poor decision having Michelle Keegan as the leading actress there is far better choices out there. She is okay not the best.

If you are planning on watching this and think you are going to get an outstanding performance from Michelle Keegan hate to say it but you will be disappointed as she is not particularly very good.

However if you like thrillers, mystery' and you are fan of Richard Armitage and Emmett J Scanlan then you will love this.

It's right up your street !!

I enjoyed it you just have to laugh at the actress.

A good thriller and with great acting from some of the cast. It's definitely worth the watch.

No wonder it's had lot of mixed reviews !!

It's not that bad. Give it time does get better

Marry Me (2022)
7/10
Not her best film. But still a good watch !!
1 January 2024
Marry Me is a 2022 American romantic film starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson.

A math teacher holds a Marry Me sign at a concert. After learning that her on stage bridegroom has had affair.

I have been wanting to watch this for such a long time and finally it comes to tv.

Surprisingly it was a good watch.

The storyline was good very different was little cheesy and predictable in places, but still enjoyable. The music makes the story stand out.

I wouldn't say this is Jennifer Lopez best film I've seen her in but she is still a very talented lady and doesn't disappoint in her acting skills no doubt she is a better singer than a actress. There's no question about that.

Owen Wilson is just on another level he is an incredible actor and can play any part and make it believable he just stood out in this movie in fact he is the one who shines In this.

I enjoyed watching this and I'm glad I waited to watch this on New Year's Eve.

So if you like Jennifer Lopez films and is a fan of her the you will like this.

The music is the best bit.

Sit back get the popcorn out and enjoy on your own or with friends a nice light up lifting film to watch.

Streaming on Netflix and BBC I PLAYER as from New Year Eve.

Surprisingly very good a must watch !!!
1 January 2024
Looking both ways is a 2022 comedy drama film starring ( Riverdale) Lili Reinhart as the main character.

On the eve of her college graduation,Natalie's life diverges into two parallels.

I was very surprised how good this movie was it's completely different story to most romantic comedy movies it's got a completely different take on the story it's not your normal chick flick film.

The story was good its light hearted and is actually quite entertaining to watch it got me hooked from beginning to end.

Acting was done very well Lili Rainhart is a good actress and deserves more recognition for her acting skills a very talented lady.

Overall a very enjoyable movie to watch it's more of a drama than a comedy and it really gets you thinking about life it will be alright whatever way it turns out.

So if you a fan or of Lili Rainhart then you will like look both ways.

Don't go by the negative reviews/ comments there never get it right I was so surprised on how good this movie was.

A good film to watch on your own or with friends.

Sit back get the sweets out and enjoy this look both ways.

Best American tv series since Friends !!! Brilliant
24 December 2023
Only Murders in the building is an American comedy mystery tv series.

Which consists of 3 series and in the making of series 4 which is to be aired in 2024.

Three strangers share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one.

When I saw the trailer and saw Steve Martin and Martin short are doing a tv series thought this would be good and it was brilliant.

The first series episode one I thought I'm not sure about this, but it does get better you just have to persevere with it every episode gets better and better.

It's cheesy, silly but it works very well.

It is a very different American comedy with a great cast of celebrities as of Selena Gomez, Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Martin short and Paul Rudd with other famous celebrities along side.

Everyone is just amazing. Steve Martin and Martin short are very talented brilliant actors. Incredible.

The best American comedy since Friends.

It's definitely worth the watch. Its light hearted drama will definitely make you laugh from beginning to end.

Get watching now!

Don't go by the negative comments/rating it's actually quite good !!
16 December 2023
Beautiful disaster is a 2023 romantic comedy movie which is streaming on Prime video.

Featuring Dylan sprouse and Virginia Gardner.

Abby, a college freshman, hopes to reinvent herself while trying to resist her attraction to a bad boy travis.

After scanning on prime for movie came across this and I like Dylan sprouse, the trailer look pretty decent to be fair.

The storyline was not bad the chemistry between the 2 characters is very believable. Some parts are over acted and came across a bit cheesy.

It's not that bad I've seen a lot of worse romantic films and one of them is AFTER.

I actually enjoyed it so don't go by the negative comments/ rating it's not that bad.

A pretty decent short romantic film.

If you like things like kissing booth, hating game then you will like this.

The Ex-Wife (2022)
6/10
Pretty good mystery drama for channel 5 !!!
16 December 2023
The ex- wife is a 2022 British mystery thriller drama featuring 4 episodes.

Tasha's married life is disrupted when Jen, her husband's ex wife refuses to leave them alone.

After seeing the trailer thought it looked pretty decent for a channel 5 drama.

The storyline was quite good little slow in the first episode but if you persevere with it does get better.

Was gripping and was not quite sure how the story was going to plan out.

The ex wife is more of a mystery drama than a thriller it does not really have twists and turns that much but it's a good watch.

Acting is not to bad Celine Buckens is good and played the character very well.

A little disappointed with the ending but who knows what will happen next.

If you like dramas like the affair, and the heat featuring Danny dyer. Then you will like this.

Overall a fairly good watch don't go by the negative comments/ ratings watch it for yourself then decide.

Streaming on on paramount plus and My 5.

The Tower (2021–2023)
8/10
Can't understand the low rating. Ignore was really good
2 October 2023
The Tower is a 2021 to present drama thriller. A long- serving cop and a teenage girl fall to their deaths from a London tower block.

It was mum who told me how good season 2 was but I needed to watch season 1.

Both seasons are brilliant!!!

Was hooked from beginning to end couldn't stop watching it.

The storyline was gripping and had lots of twists and turns and kept you guessing throughout.

The acting was good especially from Emmett J scanlan what an incredible actor in fact there were all good in playing their characters.

A good detective/cop thriller don't know what people are watching and why the low rating it's brilliant.

If you like things like The Bay and Broadchurch but not as good as them obviously then you will like this.

Give it watch it's very good. Streaming on ITV X.

Greatest Days (2023)
6/10
A bit cheesy but a happy light hearted film !!!
1 September 2023
Greatest days is a 2023 British film based on the Take that jukebox musical of the same name which was (originally titled The Band).

4 friends who have not seen each other in 25 years reunite after one of them wins tickets to a reunion concert of their childhood favourite band.

I have been wanting to watch this as I'm a fan of take that and love their music I even went to see them 6 times in concert lol.

A few weeks ago I went to see the Greatest days Musical at the theatre it was good but lacked with the storytelling but still enjoyed it.

So gave this film a watch.

So after seeing both I wouldn't definitely say the movie is better it's going to be as they can do more and more is involved. Better singers obviously better acting and the choreography is good.

Everything is the same to the theatre musical but with more depth in the story you find out more and extra songs in lot more comedy to. Stilly cheesy.

The music is not actually take that singing it's the cast like it's in the theatre . Don't know why people keep thinking that maybe do research first otherwise it can be silently disappointing.

A nice light hearted film with great music if you like ( Take That or course) feel good movie to watch.

The acting was okay not the best it's a low budget film but still entertaining.

So if like films like mamma Mia then you will love this.

Streaming on PRIME.

Incredible sad. Outstanding drama incredible acting !!
1 September 2023
The sixth commandment is a four part British true life crime drama which explores the deaths of Peter Farquhar and Ann Moore-Martin in the village of Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire and the extraordinary events that unfolded over the following year. The drama explores the way in which Peter and Ann were manipulated by Ben Field capturing the extreme gaslighting and the gripping investigation and the high profile trial.

After hearing of so many people that it was outstanding but incredible sad and it's a must watch I thought I need to watch this as it's based on a true story.

Where to begin when I watched the first episode it was like not sure about this but need to give it a chance. It's a deep dark story and uncomfortable to watch in parts, the drama was produced and directed so well.

The acting is outstanding Timothy spall is a incredible actor in fact there were all superb. Eanna Hardwicke is fantastic in playing a villain/ baddie i just hated him so much on what he was doing In the crime drama.

The way it was acted ,the storytelling was just fantastic. I'm glad I watched it even though there is lot of different emotions when watching The sixth Commandments from anger/ being sad.

Don't want to give to much away but if you like dramas that are based on true stories then this definitely a must watch.

Does contain violence, strong language and some very upsetting scenes.

The sixth commandments is a remarkable story on how there investigated a man who manipulates/ lies and befriends lonely elderly people.

A very sad story !!!

Streaming on BBC I PLAYER it's one to watch.

Surprisingly very good. A light heated drama/ comedy!!
23 August 2023
Turn it up Charlie is a 2019 comedy drama starring Idris Elba as the leading character. Features 1 season 8 episodes.

After seeing the trailer on Netflix I thought it looks pretty decent and I do like Idris Elba be nice to see him playing a different character in a comedy/ drama other than action and thrillers.

The story line a struggling DJ and eternal bachelor Charlie becomes a manny to his friends daughter. A very different storyline but it worked was little slow to start with but if you keep with it does get better it had comedy not loads but some. If you think there is a lot of music then you will be disappointed it's not about that it's about him as a person and what goes on in his life.

I throughly enjoyed it was nice seeing Idris Elba playing a different character he is a sensational actor and can play any part also he is one handsome man lol. In fact all the cast were good I was very surprised how good it was.

So if you want a light hearted comedy drama and like Idris Elba then watch this I'm sure you will love it and you can binge watch them as only on for 25 mins.

Does contain bad language.

Sit back and enjoy streaming on Netflix right now.

Death on the Tyne (2018 TV Movie)
7/10
Stupid but so so funny !!! It's good
29 July 2023
Death on the Tyne is a 2018 television comedy murder mystery film that was originally on Gold TV now it's on BBC I PLAYER channel 2 . The second film after Murder on the Blackpool Express then on to Murder in Middlesbrough as the third instalment. Death on the Tyne following Terry, Gemma, Mildred and friends on an eventful overnight ferry. This one was better than the first television film I found it was more funnier. The storyline is silly and stupid but so funny, it's like black comedy. The film has lot of different stars and all very good in playing the characters. Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson are very good I do like them. It's nice to watch a comedy and the fact it was so bloody funny. To much doom and gloom on tv we need more laughter. So if you want to watch something completely different that is light hearted very funny but stupid then you need to give this a watch. Death on the Tyne has amazing cast from Benidorm, Last Tango in Halifax and line of duty. It's fun, stupid, silly and hilarious. Get watching now on channel 2 on BBC I PLAYER.

Ignore the negative comments. It's good !!!

Murder on the Blackpool Express is a 2017 comedy. Which was original on GOLD TV and now on BBC I PLAYER. The Draper's Tour Mysteries is a comedy drama television film series created and written by Jason Cook, and starring Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson as Terry Bremmer and Gemma Draper. My mum was the one who told me about this how silly it is and quite funny. So gave it a watch. The storyline is stupid and silly but very funny in places with a murder mystery. Johnny vegas and Sian Gibson are very good talented people. The television film has a lot of different stars in and all good in playing the parts. A very different drama to watch but it sure is funny. Very well directed and produced even though is bloody stupid well it was rather funny. There is 2 more television films after this one the second one is better well I think so. It's nice to watch a light hearted comedy as it's all doom and gloom on tv and it does make you laugh. So if you want something easy to watch with comedy then give this ago. Don't go by the negative comments it was surprisingly good.

Changing Ends (2023– )
10/10
A brilliant comedy a must watch !!!
29 July 2023
Changing ends is a 2023 British comedy for ITVX. It is a semi autobiographical series from comedian Alan Carr about growing up in Northampton during the 1980s, the son of a professional football manager. My mum was the one who told me to watch this as it was so good. OMG it was brilliant! The storyline was excellent I've not laughed that much, kind of sad in places. First episode was so good and continues through out. Oliver Savell is so perfect in playing a young Alan Carr he deserves award for his performance outstanding and incredible funny. In fact all the cast are good in playing their characters. Very well produced and directed. There don't do much comedies like there use to and changing ends is just so funny. You could watch them over and over again and would still be funny. To much gloom and doom on tv and very depressing stuff so it was nice to watch a light hearted very funny tv series. Changing ends consist of 1 series with 6 episodes and are going to make a 2nd series. Can't wait. If you like comedies then this a must watch it will certainly cheer you up. Best comedy I've seen in awhile. Don't go by the negative comments it's bloody fantastic. Sit back get comfy and get watching this very funny sitcom. It sure is a laugh 😊
