Not sure after 3 amazing episodes how this is floating in the 6-7 range.
I give it 10 out 19 hooked. C'mon episode 4!!!
I hope to see at least 4-5 seasons with this amAzing cast. It keeps you so intrigued you want to know the next move and can't wait for the next episode. I really wish I was able to binge watch it.
There is not a better British show on tv right now and the fact this is on Crave is unreal. Please do at least 5 seasons with this main cast you could go to Hogwarts and it would still be so interesting. We are so in the dark and can't wait for Ruton Rixton or whatever Mate. Keep it up!!! Here in Canada we love it !

I didn't expect much from this series and watched the first two episodes inattentively and without much interest. However, starting with the third episode, I was already much more concerned about the plot. Now I think this series is brilliant in its own way.
First of all, there are few movies where the theme of codependency and toxic relationships is shown realistically: there is neither an ideal and helpless victim, nor a ruthless abuser. There are only people who try, love and try again. And then, what dialogues! My special thanks to the scenarists.
Of course, I would like to see something more holistic in the plot and more aesthetic in terms of framing and directing, but since the author's vision is like that, I accept this product as it is.
And for sure I can't wait to see main characters' new ups and downs.

It's bleak, it's dark, it's engaging and me and the missus were hooked from the first episode. I thought the characters were well cast and haven't seen another series quite like it. Nice to see somehting original.
I may be biased as I've loved Daisy in everything else I've seen her in. I was really pleased to see her in a straight role and watch her not just doing another comedy role- I hope she gets more opportunities off the back of this.
Haven't finished the full series yet, so may still be dissapointed, but have enjoyed this so far and would suggest people make their own minds up. And don't get put off too much by the negative reviews.

The show is a dark comedy that does not shy away from the harsh realities of poverty, prejudice and social injustice. It also explores the themes of motherhood, friendship, sexuality and identity with honesty and humor. The show has a punky and energetic style that matches the personality of its protagonist, who is always ready to fight for what she believes in.
The show also benefits from the excellent performances of its cast, especially Cooper, who delivers a charismatic and nuanced portrayal of Costello. She makes us laugh, cry and root for her character, who is flawed but lovable. Tashjian is also impressive as Iris, who has a sharp wit and a big heart. Farthing adds some charm and contrast as Hugo, who has his own struggles with his family and his sexuality.
Rain Dogs is a refreshing and original series that offers a rare glimpse into the lives of people who are often ignored or marginalized by society. It is also a moving and inspiring story of love and survival that will make you laugh out loud one minute and tear up the next.

This alternative series is a breath of fresh air! I am very surprised by the relatively low score here, because this series is both innovative, well-made, varied, topical and humorous. Daisy May Cooper in particular excels here. She stars as the tired but resilient single mother Costello Jones. This is essentially the star here, and rightfully so. She is incredibly good at portraying both social challenges and economic problems - in general, the alienation that many people experience today. But her character never gives up. I think it's wonderful to follow her, and her small and big battles. I hope this series has a long life because Costello Jones has only just shown us what she is capable of.
