I missed any comedy apart from the little dog sitting on the toilet seat.

I do like Martin Freeman normally but everything on BBC lately seems to be filmed in the dark

Martin Freeman was very good in this drama , totally different from anything else he,s ever done , not sure if I will keep with it, As a Liverpudlian I found the use of F——-g every other word a bit much, making out we all talk like that , well we don’t,
It gives Liverpool a bad impression ,

I loved it. I thought it was different and Martin Freeman was fantastic. A bit of comedy too.

But then there was Rita Tushingham ?

Another bundle of grey misery and violence.

I didn't really watch it but DH persevered until the end, but complaining about it so I don't think he's all be watching more.

Well acted but depressingly gritty.

I gave up too. Glad I wasn't the only one. Nothing was happening.
Social media is full of praise for it and I'm baffled.

Managed to stick with it but don' know if I'll watch tomorrow. Slow, bitty and a bit depressing really.

Me too!

Couldn't understand a word of it. Gave up after 15 minutes.
