It’s awesome. Later on some storylines become a bit ridiculously unbelievable but the early series are gold

dredsa · 13/08/2025 23:17

it’s amazing! I’m jealous of anyone starting out with it!

Well the whole thing is ridiculous when you think about it. Who would adopt a black baby on a whim at the hospital to replace their still born (white) triplet baby?

Interested in this thread?

Yes it’s obviously a ridiculous premise. Like the hospital will allow a distraught couple who’ve just lost a baby to just… take another one instead.

But I still love it! I’m jealous of OP watching it for the first time.

I loved it, I watched to the end, will definitely rewatch at some point. I cried many times, DH and DS2 (both autistic) cant see the point in watching stuff that makes you cry so thought it was quite funny that i watched this and cried every episode for the 1st series at least!

SnobblyBobbly · 13/08/2025 23:35

Oh you’re lucky. I keep thinking I should watch it again. It’s brilliant.

BertieBotts · 13/08/2025 23:40

Oh I loved it. I also found it after the hype which meant I could binge the whole lot in one go which was great.

Def need to suspend disbelief at various points, but it's worth it IMO.

KnickerlessParsons · 14/08/2025 13:54

I did love it too, regardless of the stupid reason for the triplets coming in to being. I never took to Rebecca though, or Jack really.

Justanotherday1234 · 14/08/2025 14:00

Oh I could cry just reading this. Enjoy.

JacknDiane · 14/08/2025 14:33

I've never seen it. Thanks for the tip.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 14/08/2025 14:36

I never finished it. Should I try?

I didn’t ever take to the parents, either.

When did you stop watching? I did find that it slightly lost its way in the middle but then got better again.

When they found their uncle in the caravan.

No I watched it for Randall and Kevin really. They were well developed, complex characters. I liked that Kevin the famous should be a huge ego was the one that kept them all together.

Kate’s whole identity was her weight and trying to lose it. Be a different programme now, she’d be straight on the mounjaro!

I also liked Miguel. Just a lovely bloke.

LadyDanburysHat · 14/08/2025 15:14

I think I watched about half of season 1 and couldn't get much further with it. I found I didn't like any of the characters that much.

GG1986 · 14/08/2025 15:29

Aw I watched all of it and loved it. Took a few episodes to get me hooked as it can be a bit confusing. But worth the watch.

CalzoneOnLegs · 14/08/2025 15:41

I must be the only person who didn’t really love it. Watched all of it though. I found it overly emotionally manipulative. Kate was so annoying. Milos accent was annoying. I loved Beth a lot.

CalzoneOnLegs · 14/08/2025 15:43

Because it was desperately trying to make the audience cry made me not want to …..at all, hard to explain really
