Back to Life

Meandering, poignant, tragic, hilarious, cringeworthy, heart warming and so much more. Back to Life is a very British comedy/drama series in dialogue, characters, setting and soul. Highly recommended...

I really enjoyed this show and how the characters evolved. I hope there will be 3rd season as well. Well written and acted.

Daisy Haggard is tremendous in this very unusual, bittersweet dramedy 'back to life,' talk about a different, unusual premise. How to make a woman convicted of a serious crime funny, sincere and likeable. Haggard manages to do all of those things, Miree has served her time, and wanting to get on with life, and rebuild, the trouble for her is that those around her won't let her get in with it.

I binge watched the whole series in one go, as I was so captivated by the character of Miree and her story. Some terrific characters, my favourite being Miree's wayward mother, beautifully played by Geraldine James.

It's like Fleabag in a sense, more drama then humour, but it is quite captivating.

Thoroughly enjoyed. 8/10

Tonally, I did struggle to nail this one down as the humour can be very subtle. That's my issue and not the fault of the writing.

This 6 part series is charming, moving, funny and at times quite bleak, but is never dull.

This is funny, sad, and beautifully written. Acting superb. It is a reminder of human resilience and spirit. If you want to escape for 3 hours I suggest binge watching the six episodes.
