Chris Vognar Boston Globe 9h
At the show’s core is a volcanic performance from British TV stalwart Walker, and a rich treatment of a potentially hackneyed theme: You always hurt the one you love, because that’s the one who actually cares. Go to Full Review
Peter Travers The Travers Take 10h
2.5/4
Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement shine as best friends until he starts dating her daughter. Then the gloves come off and the great Nicola shows what a real actress can do when a sitcom begins to develop the contours of a slapstick tragedy. Go to Full Review

There’s lots to like here, with some big laughs and intriguing relationship dynamics that offer room for a second season. Go to Full Review

1/5
Hideous. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 1d
What’s remarkable is how deftly the show uses this uncomfortable, almost-but-not-quite-creepy relationship to excavate so many other themes -- and how the comedy creates enough breathing room for genuine emotional excavation. Go to Full Review
Kshitij Rawat FandomWire 2d
8/10
It is imperfect, occasionally overstuffed and slightly too in love with its own escalation. That said, in Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement, this show has two performances that are so pleasingly combustible together that you don’t much care. Go to Full Review

Marvin B. @movieguy80s 4h I like it the show is pretty funny and hilarious and sometime it can’t happen with the funny is you never know what happened in the end? See more Lewis S @Lsudul 9h The ending was Deus ex Machina, in my opinion. Nicola was great as always and so was the Flight of the Chonchords guy. Love him! See more Deborah F @RT95111172 15h An examination of relationships of all kinds but, particularly friendship. Funny and heartbreaking. Nicola Walker is a treasure. See more atreu73 G @RT64249060 15h A bit like war of the roses between friends but without the war. Not bad. See more Trisha J @Tris65 23h It's hilarious and brilliant. The premise sounds cliche but the performance is wonderful and jokes are actually funny. One of those good British comedies. See more Mark P @groovydave 1d Great binge! If you want to easily stream through a series on a rainy or sick day, this might be the best choice. Great acting, breezy story, and takes a simple setup and makes it believably complicated. There was one minor blip at the end, but forgivable for the sitcom world it lived in. See more Read all reviews
