Trying

Perfect casting, great dialogue, heartrending plot twists. This one is a must-see.

A really well produced programme, typically British, heart warming and plenty of dry humour. I hope a second series gets commissioned as there's plenty of mileage left in the story.

How delightful. Another Apple show to watch in bed on my iPad. Which doesn't have unlimited space left. Original material no less! The episodes are like eating peanuts. I like both leads for their gentle silliness which is also clever. Jason and Nikki are believable as a couple, and so comfortable with each other that you settle in with blankets like you do when you know you're safe with a show. I'm a little tired of caustic put downs and thankfully the writers have avoided that technique here. I'm rooting for this show!

Great story, great acting, with a little bit of everything and very funny and witty. Looking forward to season two if there is one.

This started as a lovely quirky comedy about a couple 'trying' to become parents. The first three series were generally filled with a good mix of belly laughs and an occasional tear. Light, fun, moving in equal parts. But the fourth series is almost unwatchable. Trying far too hard to be funny. Developing stories for characters that lack any warmth or connection to the viewer. For a series that was meant to be about the struggles of parenthood, there is not a great deal of struggling. It seems the best 6 years have been missed out of the parenting loop... and belly laughs have turned to embarrassing groans. What a shame... trying too hard!
