Cold Feet

I never saw this on TV but bought the box set two weeks ago, not entirely sure I was going to like it. By the second episode I was completely hooked, and have watched the entire series in record time. Something about it makes it totally unputdownable. The writing is brilliant; I often found myself laughing out loud and then close to tears within one and the same episode. Despite being beyond the age bracket at which I gather the programme was targeted, unmarried and having no children I could still identify with the characters. I think that at one time or another I either empathized or became exasperated with each of them in turn.

The acting is superb throughout, and in the last two episodes it positively took my breath away. Hermione Norris in particular was absolutely extraordinary; why her acting ability doesn't seem to be given the recognition it deserves, I cannot imagine. By the end of the show, I think all the other characters were somewhat in the shadow of hers - which is a massive tribute to her and takes nothing at all away from the excellent work of the others.

There are too many comic highlights to mention, but I particularly appreciated David trying to get his baby son off to sleep by reading stock market reports, Pete's mum being introduced to the joys of smoking cannabis and the mens' ability to play decent golf being affected by the vagaries of their sex lives.

I can't recommend this strongly enough - it really is a television masterpiece.

Out of all of the dramatic comedies produced on either side of the Atlantic, Cold Feet is the finest to date. Its writing is consistently spectacular - with acting to match, and its return for a sixth (and soon seventh) season has been genuinely triumphant and a sheer joy to watch. A past attempt to develop an American version was - predictably - met with failure. THIS one is the real deal, the one worth "binging" on.

Cold feet a comedy about couples, sex, love, families & sex...they seem to like sex...........then again who doesn't!!

This is British comedy better than its best, this is COMEDY at its best. It'll stand against all others. And this is not only because the gorgeous Helen Baxendale is in it.

The series starts 6 months after the one off play finished. All the couples are still together [ just ] despite the best attempts of Parenthood, sex problems [ told you they liked it ] money troubles and a forgotten Wedding, i won't tell you whose if you haven't seen it yet.

This is comedy for grown ups, not only because of the racy content, both visual & verbal, but because it makes you think as well as laugh.

Watch it you'll LOVE IT. And it must have done a wonder for the sale of roses!

..really liked the original production.. so when it ended at what appeared to be a very logical conclusion.. was pretty much at the time satisfied. But then surfing for programming.. fourteen years later, and to discover they've brought it back.. said WTF! How and why should believe this is going to work a decade and a half later... well guess what.. it's truly gotten better. Now up to date in today's world, everything is so much more complex and interesting. And there was passion there before for Hermione Norris, but now it is real-deal serious. So many ensemble productions have gone by the boards, but these guys have given new life and hope to all those seriously worthwhile, but thought past-time series. It is most desired they continue on for as long as they can keep producing such great work.. bravo to all involved.

COLD FEET which can be seen in the USA on the BRAVO channel has the edgy quality of HBO's SEX AND THE CITY another favorite of mine. It

follows the ups and downs of three British couples and their relationships. Kind of British THIRTYSOMETHING although at least one of the couples is on the forty side of thirty.

It surely is better than most anything shown on American Network tv and worth checking out.
