Film Reviews by SR

This quickly became my favourite TV series in years. Having watched all 8 episodes with my other half over 3 nights, I'm left feeling satisfied with the conclusion, yet wanting to see more from these characters that I fell in love with. Except I wouldn't want them to make a second season as the first is perfect. If you're worried that this is going to be some Tim Minchin musical/satire vehicle loosely disguised as a TV comedy drama, then don't be. Whilst it's hard to imagine anyone else playing the part of Lucky, you don't have to be a fan of Tim Minchin's touring material to enjoy this - the occasional songs are a natural part of the story and don't feel awkwardly shoehorned in, the dialogue is funny, the characters feel real even when their capers get far-fetched, and the chemistry between the leads is great.
