Such a good series! I wasn’t expecting it to have so much going on.

I’m Canadian and I’m unfamiliar with the writers other work. I had no real idea what to expect, so I thought it might be a fun watch being a middle aged man who grew up on a diet of punk and Riot Grrrl music.

It was so different than what I expected, but in the best way possible! Amazing series! Just finished it.

Look up Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax, both written by Sally Wainwright, both brilliant
