    Anyone watch it on ITV last night? Thought it was very good, ended up binge watching the other 3 episodes on ITVX. Some very funny dialogue but also pretty uncomfortable viewing at one point

    Looked good on the trailer, but disappointed after watching the first episode. Full of cliches and the female characters are badly written. Especially the teenager daughter who's very Kevin and Perry.

    Reviews have been mixed, to say the least, but I really enjoyed it

    Dunno, at first I thought she had studied my daughter (now 22) to play the part to perfection.

    When I saw the thread title, I thought a friendly on the Isle of Man had been cancelled.

    A great drama. Very intense. Binge watched all 4 episodes. Great acting from the main 2 characters.

    Summat I've not watched since I was a kid. Probably on at the wrong time. So wouldn't have dropped on her. But her performance was outstanding. Guessing she was a bit of a looker with the wink lol.

    Credit where it's due, ITV appear to have upped their game on the drama side over past few years. There are several shows on ITVX that I'd like to watch, if I could only find the time.

    BBC by contrast don't seem to have much that appeals to me. Apart from CeeBeebies, obviously.

    It goes without saying, though, that Footie is still miles better on the Beeb.
