Sally4Ever

I really don't understand why people are getting upset by this series. If they don't know what Julia Davis is all about then they should do some research first and stick to their linear comedies and soaps.

This is a portrayal of a woman's midlife crisis going horribly wrong but in a hilarious fashion. Julia always likes to go way beyond the boundaries and that is what black comedies are all about. Julia does it so well and really you need to just accept the dark and shocking humour or just don't watch it if you are easily offended. It's as simple as that!

I thought it was brilliant. Julia Davis is back with a bang and even more shocking! Much to the pleasure or displeasure of many regular Sky viewers newly drawn into Julia Davis' absurd world.

Looking at some of the other reviews here, they obviously do not know Julia Davies sense of humour. If you want high brow look elsewhere. Only seen episode one so far, but thought it was hilarious and reminded me why I loved Nighty Night so much.

I really like this show, but the 3rd episode was trite and boring and I wondered if I would watch it again/ But here I am watching the next episode and I'm just sitting here thinking ... what the eff am I watching. Seriously, what is this? I don't even know how to review this. It's just ... TF? What is the point of this, and why does anyone think I need this in my life?

Very Catherine Tate"ish" with a mix of the baroness von sketch show. Good stuff.

There are many reviews on here talking about the first and second episodes being too weird or dull or uneven. But you need to get through those to understand the tone, and then everything works. It's completely disgusting, embarrassing, awkward, dirty, sexual, and writhing just as you would expect from Julia Davis. Maybe some people will find it too much, but it's maybe too much because we aren't used to seeing women doing this sort of comedy. I mean, come on, who has seen This is The End...? Once you can re-program yourself from your usual frames of reference, it all makes sense. Anyone who saw Nighty Night will recognise Emma as a sort of reincarnation of Jill, but the US audience would probably not understand that show because it had a lot of nods to English regional stuff, so I can see why this one has been sort of broadened for that. Emma is gross and terrible, but honestly Sally is not much better, she's dull and naive and ordinary with no skills. Nice to see "Lovely April" from Peepshow as Sally, and Alex McQueen is revolting as David. The lesbian slant is completely disrespectful at the same time as driving the ideas of being gay and proud and accepted right out in the open. It's very clever, nothing is a sacred cow. I'm on episode five now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the gross relationship between Dan and Emma. Don't watch it if you are easily offended, all the more for me. A brave and brilliant thing, just don't judge it. No moral fiber here. Don't expect any.
