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.

Just finished and this show really grew on me. As someone who stays up really late herself, I wish I had someone like Danny to talk to each night. At first, I found the leading lady, Lisa, to be quite annoying and unlikable.

However, as the season progressed, I really started to understand and appreciate this character. She is flawed. Yeah, she doesn't always make the right decisions, and she's irresponsible, but she tries to be honest, and really cares about those around her.

I liked Danny right off the bat. He's funny, smart, empathetic, and caring. The last episode was really well done. These characters are well written and together, they make great chemistry.

I love the opening theme song, I love the scenery of England, I love their British accents, I even love the weird cat guy! Lol This show is really funny and cute. So glad I gave it a chance and stuck with it. I'm honestly not expecting a Season 2 AT ALL, but it would be nice if there was one. Until then, I'll be rewatching all of the episodes.

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?

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.

I'm frankly stunned at the low scores been given to this show.

Still Up walks a familiar path of the will-they-won't-they of two close friends who clearly have an underlying romantic chemistry as yet unrealised. The differentiating quirk is that they're both insomniacs, so spend a lot of time in each others lives when the world is asleep. It's not a secret friendship, so there's no immediate jealous-partner dynamic. A neat little set-up, given a boost by Apples strong production values.

The two leads give great performances. Antonia and Craig both knock it out of the park. I believe their characters and their feelings, as well as their friendship, so a big tick there. The supporting cast are good, despite being asked to play intentionally annoying characters (I hate Veggie's parents, but I'm supposed to)

Along the way of expected back-firing advice and awkward misunderstandings, there are also moments of genuine heart, sold straight down the line with no cheesy feeling of breaking the tone of the show. These are two people who laugh and cry with each other, and capture that sense of needing to speak to your special people on a regular basis.

If I were to have a nit-pick, it would be that I don't know how Danny affords such a nice flat as an online magazine journalist.

Is it setting the world on fire? - No Does it deserve the bombing scores it's been given? - Absolutely not Is it a great little series to binge this winter snuggled up under a duvet? - Yes.
