Living the Dream

I wanted to love this show, because I adore Leslie Jordan, Philip Glenister & Lesley Sharp. The writing reminds me of any Tyler Perry TV show, unrealistic and beyond silly. The neighbors are all over the top stereotypes, of southerners with horrible accents. The Brits are much better, at the southern accent than the yanks. There are funny moments but I just had higher expectations.

If you enjoy British comedy or just good fun tv shows, this is one of them. I watched Living the Dream in one sitting as I enjoyed it so much. There's no swearing or smut, just good clean fun. My Mum loved it as did everyone who saw it after me. Only someone who has no sense of humour or who doesn't understand British comedy would rate this low. I gave it 10 out of 10.

I cannot review the whole series because I have only watched 4 episodes. As a southern American, I cringe at the the over-the-top redneck accents. But that is part of the entertainment value of the show. Who doesn't love making fun of people, especially us southern Americans. I love British humor and watch as many shows as I can, and adding in the American aspect makes it even more fun. I don't think I have ever wanted to stay in any RV park in Florida, and this makes the prospect even less appealing! But I recommend the show, it's really funny. Americans just try not to be offended and just laugh.

I love British shows and humour. I watch more of them than from any other source. I also lived in Florida for 20 years. So, this is the show for me, right? It is awful. I only wish I had given up after 30 minutes, as someone else did, instead of waiting until now.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Made a very pleasant change from the usual, sex, violence and bad language programs that are on TV. The bad reviewers obviously don't get British humour.
