The Trouble with Maggie Cole (TV Series) Episode #1.1 (2020) User Reviews

Maggie's in trouble.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 7/10 · 10 August 2020]

Maggie Cole knows all about village life, and the history of her small village, she is ecstatic when she is asked to go on local radio, and recount her thoughts on where she lives and her community, unfortunately the journalist is after something a little more dramatic.

It had a Doc Martin vibe, it's very light and easy to watch, it has a heavenly setting, and a great cast. Wonderful ensemble on display here, French and Heap are excellent, but aren't playing for laughs, indeed Maggie seems to have caused some real damage.

Vicki Pepperdine is hilarious as Karen, the receptionist who's ever so in love with the Headmaster.

Not sure how this one is going to play out, drama, comedy drama etc, but I enjoyed it, and will continue with it, 7/10.

Two languages or One?

I've had lifelong affair with British humour, yet there's all types of humour isn't there? I wasn't chuckling until the end of the episode about third mention of presumably a British idiom with an entirely different meaning across the pond? Or is it also the same hysterically funny double entendré In the UK too? I've never cared for colloquialisms though. Had the writers since the first episode taken to checking urban slang? in England? You'd think so! I knew of storm in a teacup and thank goodness didnt have any liquid in my mouth! if each episode has same level of gaffaws It might keep me listening. Unfortunately the premise couldnt be less interesting, I despise gossip, or anything near.
