Cold Feet

Cold Feet is a witty TV-series about three couples, which evolved from being a clever sitcom to (one of) the best series about couples in their thirties there is. It leaves all the American series seem like fast-food comedy.

Next week our network will be showing the very last episode of the series. A lot has happened in this last season, which made it more "soapy" than the previous seasons.

The acting and casting is great. The humour is original, innovation and clever all at once. I used to watch it with my brother and parents, and then with my girlfriend. It's humour for all generations.

Oh how I will miss watching at Adam, Rachel, David, Jenny, Pete, Jo and Karen.

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.

Well what can I say?. A wonderful sitcom. Human, funny, warm. It has made me laugh and certainly made cry. It sounds maybe stupid but as the show runs you become familiar with the characters and the persons. The final is too tragic...I never thought I would cry in front of my TV. I'm gonna miss all those fictive people...

The best TV-show ever!

Cold Feet was set in the north west of England, in Manchester, not the Midlands.

We found it just as good as everyone has said. Funny, touching, sad, and well acted & staged. So much so that we bought the full DVD set when it finished.

The only thing that I would say is that it seemed to use many of the situations that were used in 'thirtysomething' ( finest ensemble drama series ever !), and sometimes came very close to the actual stories in 'ts'. You could say that thius was natural, dealing with the same type of people, but it was a bit naughty.

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!
