Amandaland

Too many people are expecting it to feel the same which in many ways, it does. It's got the same humour and little glimpses of Amanda's old life crack through.

I think it definitely needs to be long term as it was really funny.

However, the kids need some good acting classes because some of it was abysmal at times..

Episode One is really the only one I would miss on a re watch as the actors begin to find their feet. It's got a good story but it isn't as funny as the rest of the series.

Lucy Punch is brilliant in the role and it's nice to see her back on our screens. We just need a few cameos in the future from Liz and Julia. And maybe Kevin but he's a bit annoying...

Just watch it - if you're English/and or live in London and have witnessed the 'yummy mummy' tribe being passive aggressive at school collection time will know just how painfully accurate this show is Lucy Punch is awesome and the attention to detail in each storyline is wonderful, and perfectly encapsulates the general strain of living in London, raising children and trying to be a trend setter... Motherland felt like it slightly ran out of steam whereas this feels like as long as Amanda's ego keeps running wild then there's plenty of material left to explore. It's also a joy to see Anne going even more extreme - again another great performance...,

Most of the poor reviews are from people who barely watched the first episode. Seems they were determined not to like it from the start. It's utterly brilliant. Amanda isn't likeable, that's the point, but she shows a few sparse moments of vulnerability, of needing to be loved, of shedding the aspirational veneer. People are missing the point! Lucy Punch is brilliant, as is Philippa Dunne. I split my sides as Anne recognises Amanda outside the school. Her reaction? Priceless and so funny. The new cast had a lot to live up to but they do so splendidly. Mal is a perfect foil to Amanda; I'm sure we will see more of the two of them if there is another series. Yes, I miss Kevin, who wouldn't, but these bite-sized, half hour episodes are perfect for a post-work pick me up. Whoever can't find this series hilarious or at least funny needs a personality reset. Don't believe their humbug and watch it all - right to the end! LOVED IT!

This spin-off series is absolutely what we've been waiting for! It's hilarious, witty and entertaining, laugh out loud in pretty much every single scene and situation! I adore Amanda in this! I find her relatable, and embracing! She's so funny and comical! I love the new character too! So interesting and dimensional! I will be rewatching this again and again just like I have done with Motherland! Amanda is even more funny and hilarious in this spin-off! She's always been one of my favourites in the original show and in so happy they made this much needed show! It's really brightened my gloomy February and brought some much loved joy and warmth to it! Thank you!

Missed Motherland sooooooo much, so I couldn't wait to watch this show!!! This was an amazing spin off show. It was Absolutely laugh out loud hilarious, every episode got better and better !! Amanda & Anne are AMAZING characters, the two actresses that play them are absolutely insanely talented, they really make you cry with laughter sooo much!!! Six episodes wasn't enough at all and I wish they were an hour long not 30 minutes!!!! We Need more Amandaland! There has to be a series 2, it is on the same level as Motherland for me... BBC we need a series 2 this was absolutely hilarious 10000/10 !!!
