Aisling Bea takes us into the challenging world of mental health without us realising we are in one.
As it should be, mental health issues are just a part of a person suffering from those issues, not their while personality.
The main character is complex, witty and smart. Her relationship with her sister is definitely the coodependent one in which they both heavily rely on each other. But can we blame them? In an often grim and isolating world, in a city such as London, where finding friends is not easy, sisterhood copendency might not the such a big sin.
What I loved is that mental health challenges are not defining the main character, nor are they the focus of the show, yet they are somehow omnipresent through episodes. The show also manages to tackle on immigration issues, refugees identity, feeling lost, isolated and not having a clue where to go in life.
I think it the plot could have been developed deeper and better in a sense that many scenes somehow didn't reach their peak nor point. The ending is rushed a bit and the format is confusing - is it a drama, a comedy or both? All in all, a good show with some space for improvement.
