It's a great series. With colorful characters, even minor ones, a vivid story and a purely British atmosphere with a lot of self-irony. I looked around and found only one fly in the ointment. For some reason, I was sure that this was an 8-episode miniseries. But the story is clearly unfinished. And, given that this is Britain, now we need to wait once again for it is unclear what and it is unclear how long

I looked at it in one go, and I really liked it! I hope there will be a second season, it is very interesting to find out what will happen next. The couple Taggy and Rupert were not so hooked, but Lizzie and Freddie were looking forward to kissing, they are very cute and fit each other😍

I join the above with regard to watching excitedly - I couldn't tear myself away to the detriment of business and sleep. I was surprised that there were few views - already only one cast should have attracted attention. Characters, dialogues, intrigue, plot twists, atmosphere, British humor, horses, dogs - yes, here is just everything you need for a perfect series. In general, as it usually happens, they can extend it, they can leave it like this: the main rival and the holder of the secret are eliminated, the couples finally found each other, the winner got everything. In any case, thanks to the creators for the wonderfully spent eight hours of life!

while everyone is praising the plot, I'll praise the music. Disney promised that he would invest in the soundtrack - Disney did not cheat. a bomb soundtrack. more than 35 hits in 8 episodes, a paradise for a lover of 80s songs

The cast, the picture, the soundtracks – I liked everything. Except for the plot itself. It feels like I've watched 2 different TV series. Until about the first half, this is a great story about a society of hypocrites, where literally there is not a single positive hero, everyone has their own skeletons in the closet, and generously seasoned with a mask of morality. And in this context, the confrontation between the two GG looked epic and promising! But somewhere in the second half, the series turned somewhere wrong and we got some kind of fabulous struggle of the "good" team with universal evil in the person of Tony. Tennant's character is undeniably a scoundrel. But isn't everyone there like that to one degree or another? In general, there are two impressions

@tsarinadzicc: But... The same Rupert? You have to try hard to think that he is definitely good against everything bad (and I wouldn't say that he suddenly began to be shown like that in the second half). He may not be as disgusting as Tony, but Kamon, there is no question of the struggle of good against universal evil.

Beautiful picture, beautiful music, interesting ending. What is not interesting is the main character, who is seriously going to save the missing hero. As if if he had been a walking dog all his adult life, then her kindness and purity could magically fix him. And this is despite the warning of his ex-wife.

@RiaNeimless: I haven't made it to the finale yet, but since the New Year's party, the series has begun to remind me harshly of the Cinderella fairy tale. Therefore, the ending from episode 3 is difficult to spoiler. However, it seems that the series did not pretend to be a serious genre from the very beginning.

Did you think a lot logically and with your brain at the age of 20? Or did you listen to someone's advice, especially ex-wives?) Especially when such a famous handsome man fell in love with you) Yes, the last forty-year-old brains will lose here))

At least they accelerated in the end. Otherwise, this suffering about who has more rights to get into Rupert's pants is just Spanish shame. This is a medium-level fanfiction with very predictable twists and character development.

I don't know if I'm the only one who caught a cringe from Rupert and Taggi every time, I didn't get into them at all.
but it is very interesting why Tony hates Rupert SO much, I hope this will be told in future seasons

The last frame was unexpected. No, I guessed that he would feel bad in the end, but not like that.

I liked the series. But honestly, I watched the first half purely for the sake of pictures and music. The plot began to catch on from the second half.

Surprisingly, in the end, I feel sorry for everyone here. Well, except Fred Fred. He's doing well. Oh, and Lizzie's husband. To me, he's settled in just fine too. Although, Rupert is also doing well, but OK, let's give him a break that he has awakened feelings (personally, it seems to me that he will not last long on them). I didn't even get a branch with him and Taggi. And I don't believe that they will succeed.

I can understand all the characters in this series, but not the Mod.
Declan's wife is still terrible. And in the last episode, she disappointed again. Okay, husband, but damn, she didn't even say goodbye to her youngest daughter (maybe to her son).

@_berkeya: Maude is a typical narcissistic mother. Always in the first place. Throughout the series, my husband and I marveled at how a mother like her could have such completely sweet, kind, empathetic children. Until they were shown to be somehow mentally distorted, as is usually the case with such a mother. Apparently, Declan was making some kind of balance there. Although, considering that he is a zealous workaholic, as he says more than once, it is unclear who raised them at all. This kind of Fashion was clearly carried away by parties, boyfriends and other productions right a month after giving birth (she was, like, an actress). Such stars of the whole earth can't just physically sit at home. It's their undoing.
There must have been babysitters there since the children were born, and they raised all three of them.
Well, Maude, aside from sentiment, I can really understand. It seems to me that any normal woman with a family and at least some healthy ambitions will understand that she wants to fulfill herself, work, and not be an appendage to her husband. There's definitely nothing terrible about it, she said it right.: I'm so used to doing everything for others that I've already forgotten what it feels like for myself in general. The children are already healthy, there is clearly no warm relationship with their mother there, so she would have gone to London a long time ago, where she feels good and her vibe, unlike in the village. Why did she suffer for so long?!
She just shouldn't have had children initially, in my opinion)) It's only good with yourself, and for men to admire.

@_berkeya: But I don't understand. I don't approve, but I understand. You just have to look through the eyes of the 70s, when she gave birth, and that attitude towards women. Despite all her ambitions, she gave birth to the weather and a third child, and settled down at home to fulfill the "women's program" of that time, having completely different ambitions. She quit the theater at the peak of her demand, because she had to choose either her husband's career + children, or her career. A husband would definitely not sacrifice his own, which means a divorce and more children with her and a career minus.
But now the children have grown up, and her husband spends very little time with her, and her lax moral principles allowed her to seek admiration on the side. Yes, we can condemn what she is like, but the husband knows what she is like and does not divorce. He's comfortable. He's not going to do anything about the fact that she desperately misses him.
And the fact that she did not say goodbye to the children was foolishly shown to us, because the children were standing in the crowd and also did not react to her departure in any way, it did not correspond to their relationship before.

so, among the five presented married couples, we do not have a single faithful one to each other)
in one of the couples, as a result, both are cheating, and in the rest someone is alone)
Although Freddie and Lizzie's cheating was kind of romantic, I still feel sorry for Fred's wife. she's certainly an interesting character, but she's not an asshole like Lizzie's husband))

I don't believe Rupert can change for Agatha. She should come to her senses before it's too late, but she's young and believes in the best)

We are waiting for the second season!

I hope next season doesn't have to wait forever, because that would be cruel.
Tennat, as always, is gorgeous and sometimes scares the hell out of me.

Rupert and Taggy are lovely, Freddie and Lizzie are so cute. The glances they threw at each other, awkward dialogues, the romantic in my soul is happy, but damn, every scene with these couples I wanted to shout: "Well, kiss you already at last!!!"

I hope Tony stays alive after all, because watching the second season without Tennant is not the same at all. He makes half of the success of the series his own (here) negative charisma. Impossibly good, damn it!
And the series is a cannon! I enjoyed watching it immensely, even though it smacked of a soap opera in places, especially towards the end, where the love squabbles began to pull the blanket over themselves from the showdown on television. But here everyone is interested in their own way - just like on that very TV) Someone shows about sweaty half-naked guys, someone bingo, and someone truthful and honest interviews)
I will note the musical accompaniment separately - ah, this amazing music of the 80s! We collected all the hitmen of that time. Well, visually, the picture was pleasing to the eye.
We will wait for the 2nd season, as long as necessary, and we will wait)

I'm absolutely thrilled with the series. If there were 8 seasons, I would watch them all non-stop.😁 Somehow you immerse yourself in the atmosphere, the plot seems simple, but the actors certainly play amazing.

The series suddenly took a long time!
I see no one here was happy about Teggy's reunion with Rupert.…On the contrary, I was just waiting! It was a dubious relationship, but they definitely conveyed the chemistry. Although the actor's appearance is unusual, but the charm is off the charts.
But judging by his withdrawal after the kiss, in the second season, the invention of "why not" reasons will begin again and all over again. 🥲

Oh, and I'm on the side of those who hope that Tony will be alive. I can't imagine what the joke of the plot would be if the "main villain" dropped out.

I already wrote that the series feels like those with a lot of episodes, so I got sad when I saw how little was left on the 5th((
I hope the second season doesn't have to wait 2 years. 🫠

I started watching this series only because it was Britain and I wanted drama and romance, it was just right for the mood, but I watched it in a couple of days because I forced myself to take breaks between episodes! The series has evolved for me from the category of "what's going on here and nothing is clear" to "what's going to happen next" for a couple of episodes) I won't even say that the music from the credits is playing in my head all the time, for now)
I'm very happy for Lizzie and Freddie, finally the people who should be together have realized this) and of course I've been waiting for Taggi and Rupert since the first episode, I wish they hadn't omitted the beautiful bed scene next season, I want to see how nervous he will be)) And anyway, how long to wait for the next season now 🙁
