The Other One

At first I wasn't sure I would enjoy this sitcom, but I was so wrong. I'm so disappointed to discover there's only one season and I can't find any info on a second season. PLEASE continue. This show is not only brilliant and deceptive in that it takes one into various funny and very plausible situations, there are always positive and endearing messages left behind. It's cute, funny and refreshing. It reminds me of the show Mom. That show was quirky and down to earth too. Just fun! WHERE'S SEASON 2,3,4?! PLEASE!

I'm going to score this a nine, that may seem high, but I think it's a score that's appropriate. On the debit side, it's a little slow to spring to life, and I don't just mean the three years from pilot to main series, but everything is a bit slow and clunky early on. As it develops though, it just gets better and better, and by the end, I am desperate for more.

The final two episodes are a total triumph, funny, moving, and had me hooked.

The acting is terrific, early on I'd say Rebecca Front steals, later on though it's Siobhan Finneran who impressed me the most. I think Marilyn was my fav character, was she supposed to be a chav? I thought she always looked amazing.

Lots of semi naked men throughout, which is quite funny, but it's not preachy, it's just good old fashioned comedy with a heart. It really does play on the class wars, you see the collision of two families, one from a poorer background, one middle class.

You will see Cathy's journey, pushed along by Cat, the pair begin to see something in one another.

Let's have series two please. 9/10.

Some great acting makes this good hearted comedy well worth watching - absurd at times but really rewards sticking with it. Lauren Socha is pitch perfect as Cat - my new life coach!

Amazing background soundtrack that really improved it. Love the relationship between the two sisters, the pleasure/ pain principal. It's a car crash of life story, I really enjoyed it.

I don't usually write reviews for things like this but i loved this show so much i thought i had to. Lauren Socha is great at comedy i watched her in misfits and thought she was great then so had to watch this when i saw her name and she didn't let me down. It's witty daft comedy that makes you smile. The acting was great and i enjoyed the plot from start to finish. I have watched these around 6 times. It's my go to series if iv'e had a rubbish day. I also liked the soundtrack to the series. Give it a watch!
