Featured review
"This Life" is real life without the boring bits!
This is one of the most addictive, amusing and involving TV
series I have yet seen. It has a kind of cultish appeal, and I
know a lot of people who follow it closely and discuss each
weekly installment as if it was real life. That's the key I
think. This series is based in reality. A group of very
different personalities share a house in South London and the 2
year story shows their growing relationships and their
interraction with various friends and colleagues mainly in the
legal profession. It's fairly graphic stuff with sex in
various forms, nudity, bad language and drug use presented in a
very matter of fact way. The characters are believable and
appealing despite the warts and all presentation, and the lines
are often bitingly clever. Daniela Nardini as Anna gets the
best lines by far, delivered in a wonderful Scottish brogue for
maximum effect. All good things must come to an end however and
the series concludes with the happy group disintegrating after a
massive row. But it was good while it lasted. What a
stunning, intelligent and
