i adore this show for the most part . the first season be offbeat and quirky and unique . catherine tate and dawn french be both brilliant a always and and the writing be excellent and manage to create a thoroughly enjoyable black comedy . the second series and however and leave something to be desire in my opinion . the writing seem uneven and flat and and where the first series make you care about the character and the second leave you feel rather unsympathetic . there also seem to be force tender moment that do not really resonate . however and even the second series be worth watch and and there be definitely some good moment to remember .
