I really love this show. It's dramatic, it's hopeful, provocative, and filled with warmth. Some of the side characters (like the terrible, cheating girlfriend) are a bit flat, but the main characters shine so well. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey's Penelope Wilton, My Mad Fat Diary's Sharon Rooney, or Waterloo Road's Angela Griffin, I would definitely recommend that you watch this show It's amazing the amount of chemistry the actresses have with each other. This show reminds me a little bit of the Full Monty in terms of sheer awkwardness and humor. If you want something to watch that doesn't make you think a whole lot, give it a go. Anyway, check it out and see if it's for you. I'm hoping for a second season!

Just finished this UK miniseries and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Fabulous cast and a great look at life and fashions ( whatever were we thinking?!?) in the 80's - for women in particular. Lots of laughs, a few tears and the best soundtrack (all 80's songs of course)ever! Highly recommend it - if you get the chance to watch it don't miss it. If I have one criticism it's only that it could have gone on longer. There were a couple of story lines that were left a bit up in the air but it left me wanting more that's because it was so enjoyable. Maybe there will be a 2nd season sometime?
