Bucket

I have watched all 4 episodes on BritBox. I was intrigued enough to wait it out, hoping it might get better, as there is great potential in the story line. The character /portrayal of Franny is sad, and while I wanted to like her, I found it hard to have much empathy towards her and her sad-sack way. The Mum, well, she has the part of a "salty old broad" down pat. [Note: She should audition for Curb Your Enthusiasm - she would be a great foil as Larry David's next door neighbor - it would be test to see who could out-cringe the other!] It feels as though this mother daughter duo just met yesterday and started a relationship together, there isn't much past connection/depth to their characters. "Dry" is a good adjective. I would not say it is horrible, but don't cancel a dinner date to stay in an watch this.
