My Left Nut

I've just watched this and was pleasantly surprised. The story was well told and the actors were very believable and engaging. It made you laugh cry and care about what was happening to the characters. Everyone involved must have a bright future.

I founded this on my recommendation section on the bbc iPlayer and am a big fan of things such as the young offenders and this country, and was expecting something like that.

I then watched the first episode of the series and LOVED it. The characters were great and well casted. This was not what I was expecting at all, but is one of my favourites that bbc have made recently. This show gave me so many mixed emotions and feeling in the space i watched it (all in one) and made me cry for the first time in a while about a tv show.

I would totally recommend this, I loved it

Certainly something I was not expecting to binge watch. Thoroughly impressed by this show, particularly the acting which was so well done by the whole cast- it had me fully engaged in their world within minutes of the first episode. Different to many coming of age dramas, this show portrays issues that are so rarely touched on. Scenes between the Mother and Son were so exquisite. And I found the genuine relationships between the boys and also with the girlfriend very touching. Thoroughly recommend- although beware. This may leave you craving more episodes.

A truly touching and funny comedy/drama, that was beautifully presented with superb actors delivering excellent performances. I laughed and cried in equal measure. It highlights the difficulties of being a teenager dealing with puberty, and that horrible transition from easy, carefree childhood to adulthood. Only in this case there's the added 'bonus' of facing a potentially life threatening illness, together with grieving the loss of a parent. On the surface, that may make it sound drab and depressing, however, it's anything but! It's a tale of love, family, friendship and a good deal of humour in the face of adversity. An overall well crafted mini series that should not be missed!

I love all local films / series here in Ireland and this one is no different, it really hit the nail on the head on illustrating teen relationships and the character betrayal of a mother raising three kids was perfect.

7 / 10!
