Pandemonium

[GrapeLipBalm]

Really liked this. Some laugh out loud bits and great cast. Would be good if it were a pilot

Surprised there haven't been more comments

Jim Howick is a Mumsnet favourite of old

I thought it was good. Very sharply observed

I loved it, laughed for the first time over Christmas

Loved the runner during NHS clapping and the gran's blasé attitude to lockdown

Started watching it but something happened and I had to switch it off.

Fully intending to watch it on iPlayer though as the bit I saw looked promising.

It was great- I really enjoyed it!

I enjoyed it too

Much better than Motherland which just felt so wrong because of the pandemic

Loved this ! Was very funny and real.

Absolutely brilliant. Would love it not to be a one-off

A Loan pony loan!!
Alison Steadman is always a safe bet to play a mum or a nan! She was funny

I thought this was great, got a few laughs from me. Would be good if there was more than this one show.

She's great. It inspired me to watch Nuts in May again that Alison Steadman was in in the 70s.

Have caught up on it and it was really good. Much better than some other shows they've tried to launch recently like that awful King Gary.

I don't mind Gary King ( although the Christmas special wasn't as funny as this)
Maybe because I know a few men like Gary and his dad ( or have met them over the years!)
This comedy did make me laugh out loud.
I hope they make another one. Lockdown 1 was a bit like that for us too.,
I also like Motherland too but that is more ' middle class' ! 😂

I loved it,was disappointed it was so short.

When she said something like “is Dominic Cummings in the loo?”,brilliant.

I liked them telling the Gran she shouldn't be visiting her overweight diabetic neighbour and her saying "That's what he said" and her calling lockdown "political correctness gone mad"

I remember making the same comment the dad made to my kids when we first started hearing about covid. "When you've been around as long as I have you know these things end up being false alarms!"

I liked it, it felt rushed and over too quickly. They could definitely do a series and cover a month per episode. 'Hold it in' 'I dont need a wee'

only disappointment was stereotypical bitchy teenage daughter....

There's always one of these in any comedy or drama!

Yes you're right. I think you notice it more when you have teenage girls and know plenty who aren't bitchy/sulky. It's the only way teenage girls ever seem to be portrayed but other age groups don't seem to be portrayed only one way.

It is annoying that it's always like this as many teen girls are not this way at all.
I wasn't allowed to be like it at all ; my mum wouldn't put up with it!

I thought the teenager was supposed to be portraying the social media thing of “ look what a great time I’m having” in reality it was rainy Margate!

I'm not particularly criticising Pandemonium. It was great. More how teenage girls are portrayed generally
