Anyone watching? We've watched the first two eps tonight. Really enjoying it - set in 1990, loads of good 80s/90s tunes, lots of nostalgia.

Absolutely loved it, going to binge watch the rest today.

Accidently caught bits last night. Great characters, enjoyed it, will carry on watching. I binge watched the last series of Mum, it was too much in one go, so I don't do that anymore.

Aw I loved Mum too! I'm not much of a binge watcher either, though I do like having all the eps available to stream so I can watch a couple at a time.

Just watched episode 3. Won't give too much away, but the scene in the disco is hilarious.😆

Good to read the positive reviews. I wasn't sure what this would be like from the trailer, but I love both the actors so have set to record the series. I might watch the first one a bit later

midsomermurderess · 30/07/2023 17:02

Conleth Hill is such a good find, as it were. I’m sure he’s been working for years, and of course there was GoT, and that fab cameo in Car Share. But it’s good to see him more frequently.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 30/07/2023 17:17

Binged watched the whole lot & it's brilliant so funny but also makes you think (Unless that's just me getting over invested or my Film Studies A level as can't watch anything now without internally critiquing it)

All the actors are good but Sian Gibson is amazing!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 30/07/2023 17:18

I think we might get a second series - that's all I'm saying

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 31/07/2023 10:12

I've watched the first 2 episodes and it's brilliant! So well written, funny and well acted. Some of the one liners reminded me of Victoria Wood's writing.

Doppe · 01/08/2023 12:49

Just finished this, loved it! Yes the disco scene! Also the dance scene in the office with Diane and Martin to ‘Body Talk’ ! Some proper laugh out loud bits and such a fab cast.

Doppe · 01/08/2023 12:58

Kath and Martin dancing obvs! I’d be no good having an affair would I? Bound to get caught getting names mixed up!

The body talk scene was brilliant 😂 Proper cringe!

There are lots of subtle/blink and you miss it funny bits and lines.

Only watched the first episode, and to start with wasn't sure, but the little hooks that kept coming up have made me want to watch more. It is a little bit cringy though

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 01/08/2023 16:58

Conleth Hill isn’t in nearly enough things imo 😁

midsomermurderess · 01/08/2023 18:36

He has a very pleasing face.

icelollycraving · 02/08/2023 03:03

I’ve watched a couple. I really enjoyed the first episode, was good nostalgia. I had enough after three, but will watch a different day.

heartsinvisiblefury · 02/08/2023 11:49

What a brilliant show!!! Diane was a star!

Kaftanesque · 02/08/2023 22:03

Loved it.Laughed at this more than anything else in a long time with the exception of Ghosts. The rave scene was hilarious. And the soundtrack was brilliant. So many clever little lines I will rewatch before too long.

LadyKX · 03/08/2023 20:27

Just about to start Ep 3, and am enjoying this very much!

He's as thick as a boxing day turd

DHs favourite saying now....😳

TulipTuesday · 05/08/2023 15:51

Just finished binging this, it was brilliant!

Loved all the funny throw away lines, loved the outfits and the music.

Great acting all around, would love a full series of just Julie - she was fab 😂

Netaporter · 05/08/2023 21:46

Watched it all. Loved it. What a great cast. 👏

Tintackedsea · 13/08/2023 10:39

We finished this last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really looking forward to the next series (surely they'll make one!)

I never saw Car Share. Is it available anywhere?

Floralnomad · 13/08/2023 17:12

We’ve only watched the first two episodes and so far are really enjoying it , good light entertainment
