The show is engaging and very unexpected with constant twists and historical revisions. Far from a sitcom, despite initial appearances to the unintelligent eye. I found it funny, refreshingly dark and surprising, with a thriller element of mystery. It's not for dolts though, so if you are one you should avoid it. Sorry my review was too short, now I have to say something else when I've said everything I want to, so apologies if you're reading this filler section I am writing it under duress it's not my fault, 85 characters to go what else can I say except why have already reviews got to be so...

Wasn't sure what to expect with this, but quickly warmed to it. Daisy May Cooper was on top form. Ended up binge watching all 6 episodes in one hit as I wanted to see what happened next, I literally laughed out loud in every episode at various points. Special mention must go to child actor Lenny Rush as little Ollie, right from the get go he shone with his quick retorts and rapport with Daisy. Future star in the making. Dustin Burns was brilliant as the dad. Comedy and drama is a tricky thing to get right, I rated this 10 out of 10. Lots of nice little twists and some top notch comedy. Love it.

I watched this on the recommendation of a friend and as a massive This Country fan I thought I might enjoy it. How wrong I was! Every single character was unlikeable, the script was inane & simplistic. The plot was dull in the extreme. It was basically about a bunch of bored middle class wealthy people & their hang-ups all getting off with each other. That's it! Sprinkled with a few vulgarities & silly references to 90s boy-bands was the gamut of it's humour. The one thing they did get right was the box-ticking which added absolutely nothing. Had it not ticked all the BBC diversity boxes it wouldn't have even got past the first draft I imagine. Sorry but it's dire & not clever at-all. A testament to the theory that we've all been dumbed down over the past 20yrs. We obviously have because if someone finds vulgarity & smut 'clever' then comedy really is dead. Oh & did I mention it was just really boring.

Discovered Daisy May Cooper rather late, at the recommendation of someone else watched This Country and it quickly became a favourite of mine. With so much British television set in cities and towns I love the fact that Daisy actively pushed for village life to be heard and seen. The witchfinder was an absolute mess of a show, and absolutely squandered her talents so am glad to see her back on TV working on such an enjoyably unique comedy/thriller/noir. Daisy and her co-writer Selin have concocted a truly bonkers and somewhat hellish universe here, occasionally comfy and cosy and then quickly sledgehammered with a queasy darkness. Some great performances and a unique journey.

Well where do you go after starring and writing in the BAFTA award winning comedy This Country? Daisy May Cooper plays a totally different character stuck in a loveless marriage bringing up a disabled son with no friends and a family from hell. And then a new single parent Jen arrives in the town and they immediately strike up a friendship, after a while We discover that Jen has a dark sinister past and is not the person she seams to be. That just scratches the surface there our way to many sub plots to mention. All the cast are terrific but it's little Ollie played by Lenny Rush who steals the show giving one of the best child performances I have seen in years. I promise you will watch all 6 episodes back to back! 8/10.

Wow this was great. Idk what I was expecting but this was even better. Daisy Mae Cooper is a great writer, this was nothing like 'This Country' but just as good, full of twists and turns. The editing was superb and really elevated the storytelling. Funny and gripping, I binged it all in an evening, a great blend of comedy and thriller. The story progressed at the perfect pace, without feeling too over the top or unnatural. Kid was amazing, his comedic performance felt very mature and he had great chemistry with Daisy, they literally felt like a real mother and son. Similarly was the realationship between the female leads.

This is such a mess. None of the characters are likeable in any way. The plot largely consists of bored rich people having sex with each other, with a bit of death and a random domestic abuse and adverse childhood experience chucked in for good measure. Everyone's cheating on everyone and seemingly have no qualms about harming relationships with significant others, siblings etc. So far so meh. The narrative wobbled around haphazardly and there were no clever twists which might have made it worthwhile watching. The comedy is lacking, not sure if it's poor writing or reliance on improv but it's just not funny. Fart jokes, people being drunk, awkward situations can be funny material, but not in this case. Daisy May Cooper's acting skills also don't stand up in this, she was great in This Country but in this she rolls her eyes around and gasps unconvincingly to convey deep emotion, when she's not stomping around the village in a wardrobe that I guess is intended to convey how quirky the character is. The other actors do their best to make bring the terrible writing to life. I think from the editing and flashbacks the creators think this is some deep, dark emotive series with hilarious dry humour but it's got the depths of a puddle. Avoid at all costs.

I thought that I would try watching this after seeing such good reviews on here. What a mistake that was! What an absolute pile of incoherent dross! No likeable characters in this at all. The main character was so over the top as to be ridiculous. Perhaps that was the point or what made this a "comedy"? The absence of likeable characters possibly wouldn't matter at all if there had been an interesting storyline to capture attention. Unfortunately this wasn't the case with this programme. Who cares what happened to whom or why? I certainly didn't! One episode was definitely one too many for me.

This series was supremely watchable and struck a really entertaining balance between funny (genuinely laugh out loud funny at times, too) and ultra dark. The writing was great, and the viewer is taken on a truly wild ride through dramatics of all sorts. We're not quite sure who to believe, or what's actually going on. There's a big reveal episode about Jen's character arc that's really good, it answers all the questions about her and I found it to be very satisfying. I quite liked how the plot then shifted again, back to the main points really, about infidelity, the cat, the son, the marriages/partnerships. The only part of Am I Being Unreasonable that I felt didn't quite fit was, sadly, the ending. It felt a bit like a "gotcha!" ending that wasn't totally thought-through. I agree with another reviewer that said that the Alex character's arc and many previous, real-life moments don't fit with the final ending. This wild ending could've worked, but it left more questions than answers. Why did the two people on the train not report her to the police, she should've been tried for murder? Why did Alex hate his brother, there should've been more around this. Overall an excellent watch, I couldn't stop watching it really. I loved the injected bits of humour. It's not a particularly believable programme but I don't think it's trying to be.

Bunch of lies and rubbish, that turns out it's actually others lying and chatting more rubbish, but then, someone else says something and it turns out, they're the ones lying and saying rubbish. Seemed like a complete waste of time, for very, very little closure. Nothing much happens, the comedy has gone on holiday. Lenny Rush though, he was decent in it. Watch it during the week, when you have a little time before bed, don't waste your time on the weekend when you're hoping to sit down and enjoy some good TV, because this isn't it. The acting isn't the greatest and the storyline is even weaker and is confusing until you see other perspectives, then it just become dopey.
