Cant find a thread about this, and see it started last week.

Did anyone watch and if so would you recommend.

Or is it just another series rehashing many others?!

Yes that was the only bit that annoyed me. A brilliant series and great character, but Dan, you fucked that relationship up and you'll have to try again with another one!

Show quote history

He was going to meet Natasha at the end of the last episode, even if just 'for a coffee,' so there was hope for them still I think!

Really loved this series, not quite like anything I'd watched before and left you with so much to think about. Beautifully sad and poignant but loved the gentle humour and the a nicely developed cast of characters.
