Girlfriends - ITV, Wed 3rd Jan

[southeastdweller]

It's the latest six-part Kay Mellor drama. It's about three women, Linda, Sue and Gail, as they - according to the official blurb - struggle with the changes and responsibilities that come with being a modern woman of a certain age. Phyllis Logan, Miranda Richardson and Zoë Wanamaker lead the cast.

Anyone else going to be watching?

did she also write the utter shite that was love lies and records?

Yep, that's her!

I find her stuff pretty twee and dull despite good casts.

I’ll be watching

I'm sure i'll watch about it and complain to anyone who will listen about what hammy nonsense it is

Planner is set

I'm going to give this one a go, despite the wet soppy drivel that was Lies and Records. I'm very forgiving

What accent is Miranda Richardson aiming for?

Watching, other much negative to report so far, again bit too much going on

Not much negative

What's the millions of duh duh duh cliffhangers that fizzle to nothing?

What is going on with the white shite under her eyes? HD make up gone wrong?

Ha. Never mind. Just saw the punchline.

It's so heavy-handed!

I started to watch, but have given up. I'm really not keen on Kay Mellor's work.

Doubt I will carry on with this

It's petty crap isn't it?! Why is Miranda Richardson talking so slowly and over-anunciating?!

Pretty shite so far! Cliche Central

Why doesn't she just tell his wife they've been having a 30 year affair. It's not like she hasn't got proof, since they have an adult son together

This show is driving me mad

Too much packed in as usual for Kay Mellor.

I think mirador Richardson either had a tooth problem or something in her mouth 😕

Girlfriends?? In a tabloid news story they would be referred to as pensioners or grans.
Another Kay Mellow cliche-fest with shouty, borderline batshit women as in that thing about registrars.
What on earth is Phyllis Logan doing with all that hair? Ridiculous. Please god they are not going to reform as a girl band!
Won't be watching the rest.

What on earth is Phyllis Logan doing with all that hair? Ridiculous. I think her and Zoe Wanamaker's characters were going for the au natural look weren't they.

Why can’t these women do things for themselves? Or understand their financial position.
It might as well be called sons.
