Amandaland is on TV tonight at 9pm. This is a weekly TV pace thread, no spoilers.

All the episodes are on iplayer and there’s a spoilers thread here if you want to discuss them all www.mumsnet.com/talk/telly_addicts/5259545-amandaland

Is anyone else watching it TV pace? By the time this finishes sunset will be 6pm.

Dire. Lasted 5 minutes with the camping episode tonight. Just toe curling nonsense.

I enjoyed tonight's episode

Episode 5 “Camping” Much to Amanda’s annoyance, Anne organises a camping trip to the New Forest. What should be a wholesome weekend away ends up being a nightmare, including snakes, drugs and UTIs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027mhq/amandaland-series-1-5-camping

What was with her mum Felicity licking the crisps at the episode opening!? It was so absurd! Grin I liked them around the edge of the football pitch with the banter about what kind of tent passes Amanda’s bar, it’s a really good cast. I’m not a fan of episodes off site, I thought this was a good one.

Not ok with Anne committing a sex crime. Not funny at all and I don’t know how that passed any editorial. I get that they were angling for peri makes you change completely as a person, and uptight Anne would give the biggest personality shift, but that wasn’t funny.

Think the last two episodes are more character development than silliness. The moment between her and Mal, her constantly seeking validation about Johannes being sexy and permission from her son to turn him away showing she’s actually quite insecure and looking to others to tell her what to do, even though she comes across superficially as someone who doesn’t care who she steps on or cheeky she is to get what she wants co-lab. I much much prefer the first three episodes. So I’m kind of not looking forward to the last episode, if it’s a game of two halves the last half seems a bit serious. What do others think? Or is this what people want from it?

I’m still waiting for some big clanger to drop about Johannes.

Loved Felicity taking 20s at the camp site. And the classic “I can’t believe you’re making me leave!” By the teen who never wanted to go at the end!

I didn’t get Amanda’s new found aversion to public loos. It’s the location of a key scene between her and Kevin in Motherland!

I’m looking forward to another series.

Your highness 😂

duc748 · 07/03/2025 13:01

I saw on SM today that second series is confirmed.

Your highness 😂

Loved that too.

Didn't love her perving. ☹️

HelpMebeok · 08/03/2025 08:40

I've only watched one. I thought it was dull. Not funny at all. No motivation to watch more

tennissquare · 08/03/2025 08:47

@HelpMebeok , it gets better, episodes 3 & 4 are very funny.

For anyone who has a bad insta addiction as well as MN and Amandaland, there is a post today on insta from Louise Thompson , an outfit of hers was the inspiration for 1 of Amanda's outfits - I think it's episode 4. Louise isn't sure how to take it, it's quite funny (and I love Louise). (There is a spoiler on the insta if you haven't seen episode 4).

I know this is quite an old comment I'm responding to, but am I weird for really liking Amanda's style? I don't dress like that, but I like it.

I own the same jumpsuit as Fi and actually find that somehow worse 😂.

Userxyd · 09/03/2025 05:57

Having watched to the end of this now it definitely gets better and I'm so pleased there's a new series coming. The last few episodes got better and better, more character development and funnier/warmer all round.
@Ironfloor269 @Jibberjabba give it another go - it's almost on a par with Motherland now although I still miss the other characters.
No word of a new series of that does anyone know?

duc748 · 10/03/2025 15:11

On a trip to ThatLondon at the weekend, I was in Borough Market on Saturday, and felt right in the middle of Amandaland! It struck me that Amanda could surely undergo some durian-related disaster!

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/03/2025 16:27

Anne def wouldn't have perved !!

I thought Amanda was trying to make manus say he didn’t want J there as she doesn’t want him there so trying to make her kids say no she c
she can

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/03/2025 16:28

And sure once she had recovered from her half a tablet 😂 she wouldn’t want to go on a costly holiday as restaurant isn’t doing well

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/03/2025 13:58

Last one tonight. It has been good and glad a s2 will come out

duc748 · 14/03/2025 00:49

I figured we were all waiting for Johannes to be revealed as a crook and a con-man, but I thought they deflected that away quite nicely. Mal and Amanda, though? Oh no, please!

NortyElf · 26/12/2025 10:06

I loved all the Jagger jokes. Hilarious 😂 😂

duc748 · 26/12/2025 10:34

Forgot all about this! I'll watch tonight.

BakeOffRewatch · 26/12/2025 12:53

Oh I want to watch it again @duc748 if you let me know what time I’ll “live” watch with you

Some people have whined about the christmas special, comparing it to the motherland ones, but I think its best just to treat it as its own show. I found it laugh out loud funny. Bring on season 2.
