First. I love BBC dramas because, as opposed to US shows, they use actual actors who can actually act. We turned this on just to watch Derek Jacobi. He, and the others do not disappoint.
That said, this is an infuriating soap opera. Every character seems to have a congenital inability to think before they speak. And they are all on a hair trigger to believe the worst about every other character in this loving family dramedy.
We created a drinking game that whenever a character says something like, "I've never told anybody this before," or "sit down I need to share something," we bet on how long its will be before they share that confidential tidbit with the one person who will take it in the worst possible way.
You want to like the characters, but they are all dozy pillocks.
