This Way Up

[RozTheSchnoz]

Anyone else watching this series? I've only seen episode 1 so far but I think I like it. I really enjoyed Catastrophe and like Sharon Horgan and Aisling Bea. Think it might be a bit of a slow burner but am gonna stick with it.

I've only seen ep.1 but enjoyed it, wasn't laugh out loud funny but still a nice easy watch. I like Aisling, did you see her in that serious programme Hard Sun? I think she is a good actress.

I fucking loved it! I thought it was so well written and so well acted. Very emotional too, yet funny and quite touching. Can't wait for ep 2.

Thank you so much- I have just been looking for this on catch up, but couldn't remember it's title!
Good timing!

On planner - only recorded it due to SHARON

Just binge-watched episodes 2 and 3 and the series has really grown on me. I really like the Aine character and her relationship with her sister. Some real laugh out loud moments too. I'm hooked!

Haven't watched Hard Sun; will have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I binged all the episodes Fri/Sat on the 4od player. Absolutely loved it. It was so funny but so so sad at times. I didn’t know Aisling was such a good actress.

I loved the line about the Forever21 dress being fucking ironic 😂😂😂

Binged it all - absolutely excellent! Loved it.

loved it too. absolutely brilliant. filling fleabag shaped holes in my life!!

Just binged it too. It is very good. Really enjoyed it more and more as it went along. It's that silly but dark humour that I like. Enjoy the rest of the series.

Ok so I watched the rest of the series 🤣
Loved it though. So many tender moments and so many laughs. I really hope there's a second series 🤞

I'm really enjoying this in a bittersweet way. Both the leads are superb.

I think I’ll have to try and let it grow on me because so far, it’s not that good, I’m just about finished episode 1

Just finished watching. Honestly it's so similar to fleabag, and as I've only just finished watching that (which is way funnier) I found it hard to enjoy it as I kept making comparisons.

Story of 2 sisters, the older of which is a financial success, the younger being a mess. Bit of a tired story line now.

I found them both way more likeable than Fleabag.

Only seen ep 1. Will watch others but wasn't as good as Catastrophe....so far.

Can’t see it being as good as Catastrophe whatsoever, that was laugh out loud funny right away and Sharon wrote it with Rob, whereas I think the actress, who plays her sister, Aisling something I think, wrote this, or co wrote and she’s clearly not got the same chemistry as S & R.

I binged it and loved it but my favourite recent comedy has to be Gameface it's bloody hilarious

I don't find it like Fleabag. It seemed to have a lot more to say about mental illness and from a very sincere place.

Heard an interview on the radio yesterday with Aisling talking about it and have binge watched 3 episodes already.
Having been an ESOL / EFL teacher for 24 years ( and still am) I'm finding the classroom scenes funny. And yes, the forever 21 dress was hilarious.

I’m think it is a tiny bit predictable and sometimes the interaction of the 2 sisters comes across as laboured - however loving Aine’s character, excellent portrayal of mental struggles, the way she seems to start crumbling once she finds herself alone is very moving and very realistic.

.

I also binge-watched them all & it grew on me.

Aisling Bea is great. I found Sharon Horgan's character a bit jaded at times, she seems to have over-played that role.

The storyline was really touching though, some really poignant moments. Liked it; kind of wished that I hadn't binge-watched.

I also wish these great programmes by Irish writers & actors could be commissioned by Irish TV but I guess it's a money thing? Did notice Irish funding at end of credits I think?

Anyone knows where episode 4 was filmed?
With the castle/ruins and the bridge ?

Clueless I was about to ask exactly the same thing! It looked like a beautiful place.
