Living the Dream

I have to admit - when I first watched the first or second episode, I didn't really care for this show. However, I kept watching and it really grew on me. I especially loved Troy in the first season. The Character was larger than life (literally and figuratively) with a heart of gold under a rough exterior. I really miss him in Season 2. Kim Field was also wonderful in Season 1. Love Leslie Jordan (Aiden). He is great in everything he plays. He has brought a lot of humor and light to the show. Honestly, he really makes the show for me. Leslie Sharp and Philip Glenister are great actors - Mal and Jen have good chemistry and the characters are believable and funny. I was worried I wouldn't find anything to replace the show "Benidorm" after it ended - I loved the show so much. However, Living the Dream, to me, is just as funny. It is lighthearted and I feel good just watching it. Love love love. The Southern accents seem a little overdone some times, but that is my only critique. It is my new favorite show.

Absolutely brilliant. Showing pure British determination in a clean and funny way. Fingers crossed that there is a series two.

I cannot review the whole series because I have only watched 4 episodes. As a southern American, I cringe at the the over-the-top redneck accents. But that is part of the entertainment value of the show. Who doesn't love making fun of people, especially us southern Americans. I love British humor and watch as many shows as I can, and adding in the American aspect makes it even more fun. I don't think I have ever wanted to stay in any RV park in Florida, and this makes the prospect even less appealing! But I recommend the show, it's really funny. Americans just try not to be offended and just laugh.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Made a very pleasant change from the usual, sex, violence and bad language programs that are on TV. The bad reviewers obviously don't get British humour.

I love British shows and humour. I watch more of them than from any other source. I also lived in Florida for 20 years. So, this is the show for me, right? It is awful. I only wish I had given up after 30 minutes, as someone else did, instead of waiting until now.
