Mum's back!!

I watched it for the first time tonight after recommendations on GN. Didn't enjoy it at all.

I thought the last series, I didn’t see the first one, was a bit sad, but fairly realistic, I’m finding this series, a bit stupid, still like mum though

I did watch it all, but very mixed feelings about it. Not an enjoyable programme for me.

Some parts are very sad. The way the mother treats her daughter Kelly, so cruel. And likewise Derek with his awful partner.

Thankyou Kitty

The brother isn't rich but his partner is in the throes of separating from a rich husband - I think!

I have lost patience with this programme . It is like wading through treacle .

I watched two episodes last night, I think the characters in this series are even more exaggerated, I mean, that girlfriend is so stupid, that you can’t take her seriously as a character
I didn’t see series 1, a bit of background please, why is the brother, whose clearly got an IQ in single figures, so stinking rich?
I agree about the dad though, something quite sweet about him

Well I loved the first two series...and was so looking forward to this one But finding it really irritating...

Was great...love mum.

It wasn't the most riveting thing to watch.
I wanted to scream at them all to do something, anything, to move their lives along.
They all needed to act on their feelings instead of shllly shallying for two years
However I enjoyed it, particularly the last series which I watched on iPlayer in one session.

Sorry ( hides behind sofa) I did watch two episodes of this when it first aired........hated it.

I couldn't resist watching all of series 3 on iPlayer.Perfect!
I don't mind swearing. Quite like it actually.

I watched all the last series on i-player too. I would have enjoyed it all better if they didn't keep swearing, I don't think they needed it, why do they always have to use the F-word all the time, it spoilt it for me, otherwise a very good series.

namsnanny, I think you are as big a fan as dh and I.

Absolutely loved this, and have binge-watched Series 3 which is set over a week rather than different months. The acting is quite wonderful, the underlying hope, despair, heartbreak, tenderness and love is conveyed by everyone so beautifully.

sorry 'revel'

KatyK….Sorry you didn't like it. Not everything clicks with all of us, but if you can be bothered give it another go.

Watch the first series, reveal in the slow disclosure of the different facets of each character.

Take the Grandad character, seemingly a misogynist. Complaining constantly about his wife. Watch his actions, how gentle he is with her, considering his harsh vocabulary. This type of dichotomy is in all of us imv.

My son just came back from the cinema, and the film he saw was highly recommended, but he left half way through as he thought it was awful.
We cant all like everything.

I thought I'd watch it after recommendations on here. I thought it was awful. Maybe you have to watch from the beginning. I'll try to find it.

It was like sitting in a comfy armchair watching the new episode. I’m tempted to binge watch as there’s nowt on telly over the weekend.

To be honest, I think it's the sort of comedy [dramedy?] that you either get straight away or don't get. I wouldn't persevere.

Glad I'm not the only one travelsafar. that girlfriend ….words fail me !!!! I will persevere (a bit longer).

seacliff I am starting to believe this is the magic of this series.
It IS so awful that you have to keep watching to see what happens.
I find it very annoying and i can not
stand the stupid son and his girlfriend but i am compelled to watch to see if Cathy has a melt down and tells them all where to go!!!!

Sorry people I'm not reading your reviews, I'm too afraid you might give me a hint of what's going to happen next!!

Just like to say, that episode was over in a flash!
I couldn't believe it when the music started.
Not going to watch iplayer, I want to savour it!
Enjoy it everyone!

I have never seen it before, so I'm starting with the first series,just before the funeral.

So far it is REALLY annoying me for some reason, I am struggling to keep watching it, I find it frustrating. It's the way she keeps quiet when everyone is being so awful.

Most of you seem to love it, so I will give it a bit longer.

So pleased it’s back on again. Would like to give some of the characters a kick up the b.. or a slap though. I hope Kathy gets her man by the last episode
