Lip Service

Rewatching this in 2024. Still holds up. Season One was great but season two was a little lackluster.

Probably started when they lost 3 of the 5 original cast (Cat, Frankie, and Jay) Bringing in more of Sam and the addition of Lexy was awesome. But (there's always a but) it very quickly became the Sadie show. Nothing against the actress, but the character was shallow, boring, and I was completely uninterested.

Heather Peace turned in an excellent performance.

Actors are great. Writing is good. Glasgow is a beautiful city so visit it if you can. There is a lack of Glaswegian accents here though.

As good as this is, it ultimately only confirms they lesbians are selfish and promiscuous.!I hate to say it but the main characters are so driven by desire nobody else matters. Great city shots. Superb acting and dialogue.

I loved This series ... The cast the development of the characters ... The sorry lines ... It's the best series ! Why did they Cancle It in the middle Of Nowhere ? Bring it back !!! I just watched it on TubiTV and it's amazing !!! Loved it .. Cried laughed etc... Very well written and an actual show not just soft porn ... Loved it in every sense ... I couldn't wait to see the next episode and was lost When it ended ... Please bring it back ? Maybe it was ahead of its time !? I want To see more and find out how they all get on and there are to many loose ends to leave us like this ... Please bring it back ... Maybe try America ? I couldn't get enough ...

In season 2, I felt writing is very disconnected after Sam became a much more prominent character. The strengths of Lip Service in season 1 tended to be in the group/friendship scenes like "Friends".

The acting from the actress who play Sam is so bad that I have to skip all her scenes. There are no chemistry between Sam and Lexy and their sex scene is too awkward to look at. Other actress gave the strong acting though.

This show had great potential but the writing and the acting ruined it. I heard the rating is not strong this season so maybe there won't be season 3. If it has season 3, I hope writing gets improved.

Just seen my first episode, and as a mere man, I thought it was great! Superb acting, great music, it was moody, gritty, filmed in a fly on the wall "cinema verite'" way. It deserves a much greater audience; the scenes of a sexual nature are filmed with tact and discretion that shows the passion without too much gynecological detail (quite a challenge!). I can't wait to see more episodes of this thoughtful,insightful, appealing series. There have been so many references to male gay friendship, yet until "The L Word" and now "Lip Service it has been undercover. Lip service is an intelligent, and well thought out drama series that deserves a award, and better publicity.
