Raised by Wolves

I have watched this series several times. Everyone is amazing and funny and heartwarming. If you need something real and funny dont miss this series season one and two.

I love this show. It's weird and fun and I look forward to each episode. It is so funny that the daughters are named for musicians. Truthfully, I like Aretha the best. She is so laid back compared to the others. She dead pans everything. I like Grampy too. He reminds me of Michael Caine and gets into so much trouble all the time. What I am waiting to hear is how Della had all these children with nary a husband or father in sight or even mentioned. Yet, she holds it together with tough talk and her interactions with the kids. I recommend this show if you like hilarious, crazy fun.

My only problem is that the captions won't sync. Anyone have an idea of how to fix them?

When I read an article in The Guardian, "Why working-class actors are a disappearing breed," I thought, wrong, they underestimated the disappearing. It's not only the working class actors getting muscled out, but the shows about working class families as well. "Raised by Wolves," is one of the smartest and bravest TV shows I have ever watched. Caitlin and Caroline Moran's brilliant scripts maintain lightening fast verbal and visual jokes. From their first episode about a middle sister's first period, which The Herald labeled a "bloody mess"--those bloody buffoons missed the bloody jokes--to their kick ass mother played by Rebekah Staton. What I truly love about this series (that could never be shown in the puritanical US) is that the Moran sisters wrote honestly and brutally about how girls grow up and out: embarrassing bra and underwear fittings; even more embarrassing feminine hygiene products' awkward and horrifying sexuality; hormones; poverty; boys, boys, men, boys; and the utter embarrassment a teen feels about those you are related to. FRIGGIN BRILLIANT!

I'm from the US and not familiar with the midlands of Britain but I thought Raised By Wolves was funny as hell. Rebekah Staton is equal parts funny, scary, & sexy as Della, a single mother with six kids. The kids are very entertaining although Germaine was disgusting at times. I loved seeing Paul Higgins as Sean, Della's ex who returns in season two as I haven't seen him since The Thick of It. I wish we would've been given closure when the show ended.

My wife and I loved this show and it is great. However--several things will put off American viewers. 1). The accents are a bit thick and to the untrained ear the wonderful dialog is a bit hard to follow. We spent 3 years in GB but still had trouble. 2) There were really funny Britishisms/references but if you aren't plugged in they slip right by. 3). The patter is quick and crisp but if you have trouble with the above items then you must have the closed captions on. So sad that it only lasted these few episodes as it is Sooooo funny. Our first six months in Britain we would watch a TV comedy with friends. We'd be at a loss while they were doubled up. After that, when we were with newly arrived the roles were reversed. IMO, For the most part British comedies are much funnier than American shows
