Genius! Loving this new series, featuring cringy lines, qwerky characters and hilarious consequences. Just put it on series link, then realised it's only 3 parts. Come back soon!

Watched this for a bit of light relief and escape from the news / doom and gloom and it's silly and lighthearted with lots of jokes, I don't mind that, in fact it's what I came for...

Underneath that though I liked the Emily and dad storyline, maybe I can relate as also had a shoddy dad... this has some good strong women in it, Emily is great and I love Tina, yes she's the comedy sidekick but also a larger than life character. Also genuinely nice to see main characters in a British comedy who are not all white, and their race is not the point of the plot!

Had no idea it was a comedy, though. I mean, I didn't laugh once, but still enjoyed it. Are you sure it's a comedy? Obviously, if you're looking for something to make you laugh, you might want to watch something else...

Really loved the first two episodes, I have memories from the 90's of guest houses run by the most exquisitely-weird husband and wife duos; and this is played out, like a dream, by David Walliams & Sophie Thompson!

Harriet Webb is a stand out performance for me, adding a very lovable 'sod off' kind of vibe to Tina.

Not sure why some of the reviews aren't getting it, but maybe it's not for everyone (I don't like candyfloss!)

However, if you like a nostalgic bounce back into a parallel, seaside universe, where crime rates and violence are more about hurling stollen sausage rolls from a finger buffet than the terrors of internet news feeds...then grab a cuppa, even a Mr Whippy if you can and tune in!

Can't wait for tonight's finale :))

A fantastic ensemble cast, great script, why doesn't this have a much higher rating? I would highly recommend this, and the second series is just as good as the first.
