This Way Up

Great writing from Aisling Bea - it's funny and feels authentic. Definitely worth a watch if you like clever, subtle humour as opposed to slapstick. Hope there's a second series!

Felt compelled to leave a review. Just binged watched season 2 and it's even better than season 1. It's very funny & brilliantly written. And the cast is just perfect. It touched and moved me on so many levels...A must watch.

Is that there are only 6 episodes each season! Too brief a time with these wonderfully drawn and acted characters! Every actor embodies their character with vivid realness, kindness, and completeness. A perfect blend of humor, drama, and reality. How long will we have to wait for the next season?? Hopefully, all remain healthy and return for season 3.

Depression is not pleasant to say the least, but this series brings the point home without labouring it. Laughter smoothly moves to tears and back to laughter... much like life. The most depressing part for me was realising I had just watched the last episode of series 1. I'm really hoping for series 2, and as quickly as possible please! If you haven't seen it, make sure you do, your life can only be a little poorer without it....

It's hard to tackle issues of mental health but I love how it was done in this series. It shows a woman trying to overcome it with both humor and with fear. I found the cast choices perfect and automatically could relate to each. This show is whitty and I found myself laughing at times but also feeling for the main character too knowing how hard it is to tackle a giant voice in your head telling you that you aren't enough. I binged this in an afternoon and hope for more episodes soon!
