I Am...

The themes to this series are all the same. 5 dragging tales of needy whiney neurotic angst ridden females. The only one worth watching was I am Kirsty with the excellent Samantha Morton which at least had some kind of point/plot.

The rest are just annoying dire and completely depressing.

The acting in this amazing character study was supreme acting. worthy of the 10 stars as this is exactly what happens when a relationship can stupefy the person into thinking this is love. Love sure is letting go of control, emotional blackmailing . Hard watching but worth the effort of emotional carousel

I am... a well-off, straight, woman. There's variation in the writing, of course there is. The actors are all brilliant and they are all falling apart in different ways. The protrstyals are brilliant. But there is still a lack of variation and breadth with none of the characters being gay. Seems like a weird oversight.

... hard to know how to feel regarding these six one-episode-stories... each well-acted and produced... liking all lead actors, yet there feels a bit missing over-all-episodes... rating by demographic numbers showing that women like them consistently more than men, and that makes sense seeing each of these women had creative input.. so does each episode reflect more of the creator or each of the six leads-stars

... all-have-favorites... S1 E1 & S2 E6 (Vicky McClure & Lesley Manville) most incredible (Manville-notably-brilliant)

Short review here but I'm sure this highlights real life situations. Bit awkward watching to be honest but is definitely worth a watch.
