Dreamland

I happened upon this by chance. It's unlikely I'm the target audience as a 46 year old man. I used to enjoy watching Lily Allen's chat show a few years ago so I gave this a watch other than that my only point of reference was Frances Barber ( from amongst other things Rik Mayall presents and the amazing episode of The Street with Bob Hoskins). The trailer for this I watched after all 6 episodes it is really good. The whole show reminded me a bit of the Stephen Merchant show Outlaws. It's not quite as funny as that show or quite as compelling. I'd say that Barber is slightly wasted in her role which I found a bit cliched (maybe it has been heavily edited) . Lily Allen was good in this but I felt that her character wasn't written that well . Gabby Best was good in her supporting role. The character that held the whole thing together was Freema Agyeman's character . I've never seen her before and she saved this from being a little bit mediocre. I enjoyed it. It is worth watching and is pretty entertaining.

Aside from the two obviously fake 10 reviews on here, the other reviewers have got it pretty much spot on. For a comedy drama, it is neither funny, or dramatic. It looks like the editors realised it was pretty dull so turned the contrast and colour settings up to the max. What you end up with is the look of a kids show and the feel of watching (technicolour) paint dry. I've a feeling Lily Allen has a lot to offer but her part and so-so lines give her very little to work with. The rest of the cast inhabit characters who are at best annoying and at worst unwatchable. The premise is ok, but the execution is clumsy. Avoid.

This is right up my street, I binge watched, which I don't normally do and loved it. It was refreshing to watch something that had comical elements as well as serious issues, and no sci-fi / vampire sucking / zombie walking links! I enjoyed watching many of the actors who I'd seen in various other programmes doing something different styles to usual. I came across this after seeing LA on a chat show promoting it and wasn't disappointed, she sold it well. I would love to know how a potential series 2 would look! Thought 'Trish' played a brilliant role, all the sisters are very different, which made the show interesting. Made me chuckle, smile and cry a little too!

The usually brilliant Sharon Horgan is attached to this production, but it's clear as day she's not had much involvement in this limp mess. Surely the whole concept was thought up in some Soho House coke-fuelled session? "Babe y'know everyone's moving to Margate now". The whole thing oozes overfunded and under-skilled girlboss energy, much like so much of British television today. The addition of Lily Allen just intensifies the privilege and disconnection on show.

To make up for a lack of script, acting and storyline they've added a lot of Technicolor saturation to at least keep you involved...

I have no understanding why some critics said this show was good. Ok lily allen is in it. She's not an actor but is ok in this. It reminds me of Benidorm. Nothing really happens and it's not really funny and there is also not really much drama. It's massively overrated D it's a "sky original" . How many of those have been good? Promising young woman was good but really their output has been poor so it's not really a surprise to see content like this .lily Allen used to be famous for being.a drugged pop star and flashing her boobs. It doesn't appear there is much too much to her. Marry a stranger things actor ....
