You're havin' a laugh n'tcha?
Freedom_Denied28 February 2021

'pH7' - Laura Kuenssberg - 'neutral'? Do me a favour, you're havin' a laugh n'tcha? I hope so, because if the writer(s) really meant it, then I'd give this show a 2 rather than 8 star rating.

I have seen all of both seasons and I conclude that this is a terrific little adult comedy-drama. Set amongst a certain socio-economic strata of Southern Englishness, it wrestles with both universal and specifically middle-class angst-ridden issues. The seriousness is regularly undercut by sometimes genuinely laugh-out-loud dialogue. The best lines go to Geoff - a regular at the pub. Very good casting.

Apart from the - to put it mildly - questionable assertion that Laura K is 'neutral' (please be joking) I have only one complaint about this episode - some of the principle characters' arc denouement seemed a bit hurried. Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this season from week to week and I'm looking forward to see what the wonderful Alice Lowe's Joanna gets up to next time this show hits our screens.

Episode 6

They really ended the second series on a high note and left us hoping for a third here. They left us with a cliffhanger which opened that door, but the 25 minutes before that was good as well.

Comedy and normality

A really good episode of a great programme. Way it drops real issue with both comedy and pathos works so well. Great end to a really good series.
