I'm rewatching Mum - BBC

[CantFindTheBeat]

I loved it the first time.

I loved it even more the second time.

Lesley Manville is fantastic.
Lisa McGrillis is so brilliant as Kelly - she's got the character to a tee, I love her!

Anyone else want to join in my love fest?!?

I just finished watching this for the first time - brilliant series! I don't know how I missed it the first time round.

Where can this be watched?

It's all on iplayer. 18 episodes in total so it doesn't take long to get through them!

I'll watch anything with Lesley Manville, Stephen Graham or Toby Jones in

I've started watching it off the back of this thread.
Please tell me the mum will tell them all to FUCK OFF at some point?
I'd have blown my top in episode 1 if I was her, I'm on episode 4 and no sign of her having an outburst yet.

Oh I loved this. The actors and the writing were wonderful. Only watched it once so going to binge it all again when I’m on annual leave in 2 weeks!

I stared watching this on the back of this thread too. I'd never heard of it before. Love it. I'm four episodes in. It's such good writing. Pauline reminds me of my mother 😁

She handles them so well in her own way, @Sk8erboi

Can't spoil it for you!!

Oh gahd, @garlictwist - is it ok to say you have my sincere sympathies???

Love Mum, brilliant TV. Although I'm still hoping they'll do a special called 'Sunday' at some point.

I liked the little glimpses of their lives. When Cathy had crisps for dinner because her mum hadn’t cooked. Her husband David who was such a great bloke or was he? Derek who had a chequered past. Lovely characters.

I rewatched all three series over the last few days and loved it again. "You melt me like f butter Cathy" is my favourite line.
And yes, would love to see how they are all doing now.

Yeah I love it. It's really funny!! Derek's nasty gf is such a good character too.

Have started watching it and loving it. Only thing is Jason is doing my head in the way he is a dickhead to Michael and taking the pish out his accent.As a fellow Scot it's really grating on me.

I LOVED this, but I think in the final series some of the characters were getting too unrelentingly horrible without the redeeming edges of earlier series. It was almost unwatchable.

I loved this too. Lesley Manville is always good.

I loved it too watched 3 times! I'd say one of my favourite programmes of all time.

It's brilliant isn't it? All the actors are perfect. And Lesley Manville is outstanding in everything she does. I love watching her.

But I only saw it once. I found it excruciating, how long it took for her to do something for herself.

She takes a VERY long time. You learn to tolerate her patience . I could hardly bear to watch it for that reason but it was so funny and the acting so brilliant.

I think it makes you wonder how much she relied upon her husband and it took some years after his death to really grasp that she had agency of her own?

I don't think she relied on him, I suspect she put up with quite a lot. But grief is complicated, especially after a long marriage. And I think the entire family relied on her to support them through their grief, Jason in particular.

I've rewatched but still can't figure out what was happening with Pauline and her husband in the second to last episode.

Also love reg and Maureen. Beautiful written characters

What was it that she said, do you recall? I remember being really touched.

I really liked Mum but I love Here We Go more.

I love "Mum" - it's brilliant. Every word and interaction is spot on, and nothing is wasted. I do always think that the deceased Dave was probably a very difficult person to live with, and Jason is at risk of turning out just like him.
