The Change

Great script and actors. Very funny and quirky. Would love a 2nd series.

Thought Bridgette was great on Taskmaster and gave it a watch and binged the lot.

It's not just about the menopause. It's relatable to all those in a relationship. The cluelessness of her husband (Omid Djalili), the disdain of her teenage children and society's general denial of older women makes her realise she is worth more. I loved that she takes back some of those 3.5 million minutes of domestic drudgery (she's been keeping careful record) and hope lots of women start doing the same and head off on their own adventures.

I watched the whole thing in one day. As a fellow west country girl who now lives in the city, I thought it was a beautiful rendition of the feeling of longing to be in the forest again. Christie's intelligent script brings the perfect amount of comedy to compliment the show's more serious themes. You will quickly fall in love with the place and the characters. It's a gentle and tender comedy-drama with middle-aged women at its heart, a group usually completely underrepresented in tv.

Lost a couple of points for me due to a slightly rushed ending but definitely left on a cliffhanger for a second season, so forgivable. At a few moments the script was perhaps a bit animated/forced but overall it was a really enjoyable show. Looking forward to seeing the loose ends tied up in a potential second season 🤞🏼

I saw a few minutes of this on a social media post promoting the new drama which prompted me to check it out. So glad I did... it was sensitively written with humour, a truly believable cast and story. I binged it over 2 nights (thanks Channel 4 for having it all streamable) and now I really want/need a second series, especially after how it ended!!

Definitely appeals to "women" & specifically those of us of a certain age - those of us who do feel invisible, men take note! It's time to wake up and realise we women are just over 50% of the world population so we DO matter and should be seen and have a voice.

My hubby and I loved this series. We hope there will be a series 2, crossing fingers!

We love this kind of quirky English humor, it sort of reminds us of the Detectorists which the whole family absolutely loved.

The naysayers, who give this series a poor rating, just don't understand the quirky humor and whimsy that this show brings.

I am sad for them as they are missing out.

Maybe one needs to have an English heritage to get it?

We acted, well scripted, poignant and charming.

Turn off your need for something slick and open your heart to the pleasure of honest, loving, funny people who are willing to be part of a village.

I watched this over two days. I really enjoyed watching the story develop to see what happens to the quirky village folk.

This series is funny, witty , well written and acted .

I love the portrayal of the leading lady of a menopausal mum of two and married with a husband . I laughed at the scene at the doctors It's so true . What the woman is going through wanting to find herself get a way from life .

I think any woman going through the menopause Will totally love this series .

I found it refreshing and enjoyable to watch . Just a shame that there's not any more series. As it only had 6 episodes feel they need to Make series 2.
