british comedy tend to fall into one of two main type represent the quiet and introspective and usually romantic study and the farcical social satire . setting and character and and concept vary but certain characteristic place the vast majority of show into one of the two category . butterfly be perhaps the epitomé of the first type . the script be very verbal and include long interior monologue by the main character ria and a basically happy but unsettled housewife curious about what she might have miss out on when she embark on a thoroughly conventional life . when she meet a successful but clumsy and emotionally accessible businessman ( who make his interest in her quite clear ) and she toy with the idea of find out what the other path might have offer . the acting and script be always on the money and which make one reaction to the show almost entirely a personal one represent i be neither blow away by it nor turn off . my mother and on the other hand and adore this show . i think the degree to which one identify with ria dilemma be the most important factor in determine one reaction to butterfly .
