Daddy Issues

The answer is there's a common theme amongst those who slated this - they all start by saying how little of it they actually watched! One proudly boasting they only managed 10 minutes, yet feel qualified to trash the entire series, having missed 99.9% of it 😂

We all know you can't please everyone, but the opinions of keyboard warriors with neither the patience nor respect to consider all of someone's hard work, before glibly trashing what they didn't even watch, should simply be ignored or laughed at themselves!

Brilliantly written and performed by all. Even the smallest of parts are well thought through and hard worked on. This had my wife and I laughing and talking about it for days. But that's just our (well considered) opinions 😉, your mileage may vary 😂

I find it particularly intriguing how this show elicits such polarized opinions among its audience. It's a whimsically crafted series that masterfully weaves together elements of humor and absurdity, offering a fresh perspective on storytelling. The performance by Amy Lou Wood as the lead is nothing short of delightful; she brings a vibrant energy and charismatic charm that truly captivates the viewer. The show's charm lies in its ability to embrace lightheartedness, inviting viewers to indulge in its playful narrative without any reservations.

Personally, I found the experience both entertaining and thought-provoking. The clever writing and quirky character dynamics kept me engaged throughout. If you approach this series with a relaxed mindset and an openness to its unconventional style, rather than scrutinizing it through a serious lens, you'll discover a treasure trove of joy and laughter. It's certainly a gem worth watching for anyone seeking a delightful escape from the mundane.

This actually made me giggle, which is quite a rare thing these days. BBC has pumped out lots of garbage since 2020, but this was a good mix of sweet and funny. I did not expect to enjoy this in the slightest, but I was pleasantly surprised. The main characters are great actors - it was good to see some familiar faces in the casting, and the storyline was very simple but still interesting. It's also nice to see a father-daughter storyline. I really hope this gets another season. Will definitely be watching again.

Well played BBC. You definitely got this one right! I look forward to next season.

For the first series of a comedy show it's surprisingly good. The rapour between the leads is great and they're are a lot of good laughs. Not everything lands but it's one of the best new comedies I've seen in a long time. I've laughed out loud at least once per episode and had a beaming smile in most episodes as well.

Give the first two episodes a go if you're not sure. The first episode is probably the weakest so that's the best way to get a feel if the show is for you. It can be a bit predictable at times but that isn't really a bad thing and so I hope they make more of it! It's certainly better than the other recent comedy pilots on the BBC.

This is a warm hug of a show, the sort of series that is quintessentially British with the humour coming from real situations. The humour isn't forced, making the best lines real laugh out loud moments.

David Morrisey is outstanding as the hapless Dad, and provides most of those laugh out loud moments. Aimee Lee Wood proves again, as she did in Sex Education, that she is a master of playing the relatable character that you just want to root for. Whereas is SE she played a somewhat ditzy character, here she plays a much smarter and self sufficient character but again pulls off the warm loveable persona. The chemistry between the two main character is faultless and as we come to expect from very British sitcoms there is a fine supporting cast of characters to bounce off, some serious and some for comic effect. It all just fits together nicely and once I had finished episode one I just wanted to carry on and watched the whole series in one go.

The final episode is very moving with a couple of twists that leave scope for a second series and I for one would welcome it.
