Things You Should Have Done

This show has all the elements to be loved by a wide demo, from the old grumpy nana to the most plain and absurd and plain gen z. The storyline follows the aftermath of a 21 years old homestead "female" (not a girl but far from being a strong and independent woman) who becomes an orphan after both her parents passed in a car crash. The essence of the show is parenthood following the current trend on the screens; portraying society raw and no filters.

Chi, the orphan, has never worked before or introduced with what responsibility or oneself is about tries to find her way in a world she doesn't really know or the people inhabiting it.

Each character is a perfect X-ray of ths age groups conforming society and how they interlude ideas collide in a juxtaposition view of life making them more alike than one cold believe.

The neo- nihilistic humor with strokes of absurd improbably-probable situations bring as a result a great 26 mins of laughs and scape of (one's own) reality.

They proved every single episode that big names or a big budget aren't necessary to achieve success, making laugh and crave for the next episode. This is a "most to be seen".

The Jicamito.

BBC commissioners must be insane to commission a series like this. The low standard of material is evident. They throw lots of comedic talent at it to try and make it work. But the central premise feels like a random person off the street was handed a show and let loose. There's nothing to like about the main characters. The central character Chi thinks she's original, but she's just a mash up of neurosis that we've seen before. She's the teenage daughter from Here We Go. She's the sister from Such Brave Girls. Bland, self-centred, consciously self-conscious. It's so boring. Where's the clever punchlines and the sitcom setups? This series thinks we should all laugh at awkwardness. And that's it. Look at the main characters being awkward and glancing at their phones. Oh, ha ha ha. What happened, BBC? You used to make world class sitcoms. Now, you make this.

Love this show! It's very funny but very dry, so if you don't appreciate dry humour you probably won't like it. It reminds me a lot of 'This Country'. I've watched Lucia for years and this did not disappoint! She's very talented and doesn't take her self too seriously which I love.

Currently binge watching the lot! On episode 4 and enjoying every minute :) my fave episode so far was episode 2. So funny.

I actually started watching it because Joanna Page said it was 'boring' and Lucia's reaction made me laugh. Hope they make a season 2 and prove the haters wrong!

Still need 30 characters to submit my review so this sentence is a filler.

Watch this series!! :)

AMAZING show!! I binged all 6 episodes in one night and was so disappointed once it had finished! I don't think I've laughed at a sitcom like that in ages!!

Soo nice to see a new sitcom that isn't so cringey and I am completely blown away by how young chi is! So much talent at such a young age and you can definitely tell this is the only beginning for her.

Would definitely recommend watching this I can honestly say you will not be disappointed!

My favourite episode was the nursing home and pancake day ep!!

Can't wait to see what else she has in the making, and I hope before she writes anything new it better be series 2 please !!!!

You have to slightly suspend disbelief because the characters are quite exaggerated. By which, I don't mean theatrically over the top. This show is the opposite; it's understated, in the way all the best comedy is. Somehow, Lucia Keskin still writes them in a way that makes you overlook the flaws. She is incredibly talented. For someone so young to write an entire show, act, and sing, is amazing.

Selin Hizly somehow makes an unlikeable woman endearing, which not everyone could have done.

It's not a laugh out loud, canned laughter, type show and that makes it better. If you're looking for obvious, over the top, unoriginal comedy this may not be for you. If you love a more subtle type of comedy, then it's worth watching. I'm on my 3rd watch, now.

Even if the show isn't for you, it's worth checking out some of Lucia's other work. She's an intelligent, deadpan, comedian and an accomplished content creator.
