"Superb"

By reginaphalange, Dec 09, 2010

This show has been beautifully written, directed and produced by Hugo Blick. The style of this series is so mesmerising and the acting so wonderful that the actual content hardly seems to matter at all. A stunning yet subtle performance from Joanna Lumley shows that she truly is a versatile actress. Essentially the story looks at how a successful London couple are dealing with getting older although no amount of words (certainly not my words) can convey how remarkably this story is told. A truly heartbreaking end to the series makes this must see television and a classic.moreless
