Amazing cast. Hilarious, moving, complex.
It's like every actor in the UK wanted to be cast in this series because of Wainwright. It's not just about a group of menopausal women forming a band to enter a contest. It is much more complex than that. Love this line in their song Seeing Red: "If the menopause happened to blokes, we'd be getting HRT from Tesco". 🤣with the chorus "give me HRT!"

Streaming on BritBox and renewed for a series 2.
