I was sick last week and binged the whole thing in two days. It's a very enjoyable show, especially Gilian Anderson's performance. After the last episode I immediately wanted to start the second season!
The more I watched the more I liked. Liked most of the characters and the dialogue is very honest and confronting. Did I/we talk like that 60 years ago?
Gillian is wonderful and if her son could sing would be an amazing DEH. His attempt at losing his virginity just has to be seen, and the dialogue that goes with it. All his mannerisms could be camp but aren't--beautifully acted and real, maybe it was.
Recommend movies---'Those People' and 'Handsome Devil', especially this one and the contrast between the headmaster in this and Sex Education is worlds apart. Hope we get to understand why the latter one is such an ahole.
OMG...the 'climax' to end series 1---that will NEVER be topped ! That kid deserves a Tony for that scene alone[and for his attempt to lose his virginity earlier]--it actually beats the fake orgasm in the diner.
I am up to the 3rd episode and have fallen in love with all of the characters in this dramedy. All the the outdoor shots of the English countryside are so beautifully shot too.
Terrific acting from all involved and smartly written!
I probably could have done without the brother who popped into town. He really served no real purpose. My thought was that he was there for us to actually see one of her family members.
