UK Sex and the City?
Hi...
Sadly, this was not the hidden gem I'd hoped for (Black books and Sugar Rush cetainly were).

It is realistic and the acting is good. I did watch each episode of series one, looking forward to what would be happening next because each episode finishes with a kind of cliffhanger or crisis point

I found it confusing and frustrating that the exact endings of each episode are not continued into the following episode, but you do soon get the gist of the events and emotions in the characters' lives...

and that's what I found boring....

With the exception of Louise, I didn't like any of the main characters.... so selfish, self-obsessed and closed. But worse, they are rubbish friends.
There are funny moments, but many more sad ones.

It gets 3 stars because it's worth watching on telly, but personally I wouldn't buy the DVD. Also, I'm not convinced with my 3 star vote and could easily give it a 2!

Comedy Gold
I agree with all the comments already made about this superb overlooked comedy genius. It actually brought back some horrible memories of being a drunk single and definitely a good reminder of how lucky I am! Please buy this if you are looking for class comedy I am already watching series 2 on bbci - unmissable!

True Life
Im a bloke and 49 yrs old so outside the catchment range of this
but it reminds me of my 20s - its so real.
Hilarious - the bukkake incident almost made me fall off my chair.
As good as peepshow which is as good as it gets

"Just because it tastes nice doesn't mean it's right. " Well in this case it does!!! The brutal observations about slaggy binge drinking men and women is the funniest thing Ive seen on telly in years. Karen the boozed up primary teacher really is comic gold!!!! watch it its great.

A Hidden Gem
As my title suggests this is a comedy that for some reason very few people know about. Some great lines and cracking characters...
