Still Up

I have just read that there may not be a season 2. This is such bad news for a wonderful and gentle comedy. Thank goodness for this type of show. It brings genuine warmth and heart back to streaming services. For someone who is fed up with seemingly every other programme resorting to sex, swearing or violence to get an audience, this is simply perfect in so many ways. It will be a real shame to lose this story and the incredible cast. Without giving anything away, the first season ends just the way it should. But, the story cannot end now. Let's hope that someone of influence somewhere shows a little more faith in 'Still Up' and allows us to witness what we all want to see from every good romantic comedy, from this romantic comedy.

I was bored and wanted something to watch and stumbled across Still Up. I loved the main actress on The Good Doctor, so I gave it a shot. The 2 main characters have great chemistry and the storyline is unique. I don't suffer from insomnia and this show makes me glad I don't lol. Their conversations are entertaining and there are a few laugh out loud unexpected moments which will make me come back for more. I also like that you get to see them interact with other people in their lives and then see how they interact with each other. I say give it a try and go in expecting light hearted fun. Apple TV rarely disappoints and I think this is another winner!

I love this series and even put it in my calendar each week to watch. It is endearing and fun to watch. The characters are believable and of course it is fun to see scenes of England. There needs to be more meat and character development though. Who are these characters and why do they act the way they do? Why should we fall in love with these characters? Why should we care about them? This series is great, but it could be so much more.

The real problem I have is only 8 episodes for an entire season. Seriously? Not that long ago there were 20-25 episodes for 1 season of a series. People want more episodes of their shows and they feel cheated that they are paying all this money for all these apps. I thought it was totally ridiculous to go to 10 episodes and you knocked it down to 8. What is it going to be soon, 5 episodes?

I randomly came across this on Apple TV and after a quick trailer sneak peak I decided to give it a go. By episode 2 I was smitten. The main characters are absolutely adorable, the story isn't predictable in any way even though you kind of know what the finish line is, or at least hope it is. It would be pointless to give any spoilers. It's an easy watch comedy series that's light and cute and everything you would need to just sit back and enjoy it. Craig Roberts and Antonia Thomas give such amazing chemistry that the conversation between them is sufficient in every way to keep you engaged and wanting more. Loved it. Want more.

What if you take "You Got Mail" and gave them iPhones so the main characters can FaceTime each other? Oh and Meg had insomnia so she only called Tom at night? This quirky romantic comedy has interesting characters and takes you on a ride of two people who have a complicated relationship but relies on each other! Outside of the main characters the supporting cast are amusing and provide an extra giggle. Some of the antics you have to suspend disbelief for but I found myself always wanting to know what happens next plus the ultimate question of will love conquer all, will they be happy together?
