This is probably one of the best comedy/dramas that I have watched in a long while. Alcoholism is a very delicate subject that is certainly no laughing matter but this series touches on how it effects peoples lives, but still being able to apply humour with some sensitivity.
So the series centres around " Sam" an alcoholic who returns to her mothers due to probably losing everything, and finally being put on probation, all down to the dreaded drink.
Initially the "Sam" character was hard work to watch, acting drunk can sometimes be transparently false but Sofia Black-D'Elia has an actress she just gets better and better has the series goes on.
Big favourite of Ally Sheedy, she is great playing Sam's mother, but all the supporting cast are brilliant, all individually stand out in their roles.
Shout out to Sasha Compere, Lily Mae Harrington who is exceptionally funny, Garrick Bernard whose acting really does allow us to feel the full effect drinking can play on peoples lives, to be honest, I can go on.
This is genuinely, one of the few funny well written, acted, directed shows that has not needed, naked scenes or extreme drama for it to be entertaining. Just brilliant acting 10/10.
