Finishing Motherland, I was really eager to see what Amandaland was like, but I didn't hold high hopes. Well, I was wrong. Like many have said, it starts off a bit slow, but it really gets going and is somehow better than the already great Motherland. I love Amanda, and I love Joanna Lumley. The humor is sharper, the characters richer, and the chaos even more delightful. It's a brilliant spin-off that stands tall on its own, blending wit and heart effortlessly. Highly recommend! Lumley's impeccable timing and Amanda's charm make it a joy to watch every episode. Pure comedic gold! A real must-see!

Great acting, direction, it's a good film with one exception. They just made up too much stuff about abductions that isn't true. I wish they had simply gone to MUFON or another accredited group to get advice from real experiencers on visits and abductions. It's either going to be ET (a nice abduction) or a government (a terrible abduction). There are 1,000's of documented cases for both. I guess to be fair in 2013 it wasn't quite as widely known as 2024, but still all the resources were in place to get the story straight. The 2014 series Intruders gets a little bit closer to the truth, but perhaps that's why it's really hard to find. :)

This is not a throwaway teenage series about magic. This is a really cleverly crafted and well researched show. If it doesn't move you to tears then there might be something missing in your shallow hollow life :) Highly recommended for people of all ages and all religions, it treats religion and magic with equal respect. The story telling throughout is fantastic and it done in a very original style, this show is not a cliche rehash of anything, it's new territory. I really hope they make a season 2, but if they don't it's ok, because honestly it would be really hard to top season 1. I am surprised it isn't much more highly rated. Enjoy :)
