Raised by Wolves

I have watched this series several times. Everyone is amazing and funny and heartwarming. If you need something real and funny dont miss this series season one and two.

When I read an article in The Guardian, "Why working-class actors are a disappearing breed," I thought, wrong, they underestimated the disappearing. It's not only the working class actors getting muscled out, but the shows about working class families as well. "Raised by Wolves," is one of the smartest and bravest TV shows I have ever watched. Caitlin and Caroline Moran's brilliant scripts maintain lightening fast verbal and visual jokes. From their first episode about a middle sister's first period, which The Herald labeled a "bloody mess"--those bloody buffoons missed the bloody jokes--to their kick ass mother played by Rebekah Staton. What I truly love about this series (that could never be shown in the puritanical US) is that the Moran sisters wrote honestly and brutally about how girls grow up and out: embarrassing bra and underwear fittings; even more embarrassing feminine hygiene products' awkward and horrifying sexuality; hormones; poverty; boys, boys, men, boys; and the utter embarrassment a teen feels about those you are related to. FRIGGIN BRILLIANT!

Such a ray of nightmarish sunshine, to watch Della's dysfunctional horde. Finally a TV series that depicts the so-called "underclass" with such blunt panache and dry wit. Especially the subtle multi-level comedic nuances, many of which I only caught on the third viewing. Obtuse yet credible characters, as the glowing antithesis of what a "single Mum" family should be. Too many roiling undercurrents of my OWN childhood, which only sharpens the appeal. It's been a very long time since I laughed myself to distraction at a "family" TV show. My sincere congrats to all the writers, cast and crew. ( Hmm; since Babby Mariah is barely out of nappies, how did you POSSIBLY induce her mastery of "filthy side-eye"?) Thx...JBL, Toronto ,Canada.

Being a Midlands girl ,I loved this .Made me laugh from start to finish but I'm married to a Yorkshire man who didn't appreciate it as much as I did but still found it amusing .Well done to the writers .I would buy the box set without hesitation in a heartbeat. A huge pat on the back to the actresses and actors for playing a great part ... ...Jermaine....has to be my favorite. Loved it .The only criticism I would offer is ,the programme is aired for 30 minutes per week ! Would love to see more air time for this humorous coming of age comedy.This may not be every body's cup of tea but give it a try and cast your mind back to being a care free teenager or a single mum without a minutes me time and you may empathise with the characters. For me ...can't wait for the next showing ,well done to all involved .

I love this show. It's weird and fun and I look forward to each episode. It is so funny that the daughters are named for musicians. Truthfully, I like Aretha the best. She is so laid back compared to the others. She dead pans everything. I like Grampy too. He reminds me of Michael Caine and gets into so much trouble all the time. What I am waiting to hear is how Della had all these children with nary a husband or father in sight or even mentioned. Yet, she holds it together with tough talk and her interactions with the kids. I recommend this show if you like hilarious, crazy fun.

My only problem is that the captions won't sync. Anyone have an idea of how to fix them?
