The device of keeping each episode around 10 minutes of running time is absolutely brilliant, because it's definitely a show that you can have a bite at in-between more traditionally long shows, without getting burdened by its repetitive nature. And I say repetitive in a somewhat positive way: it features two characters talking to one another, mostly inside the same pub, and that's about it. Simple, but comforting.
And it works. Largely because the writing is sparkling; the two main characters deliver the dialogues with so much gusto, so much realistic ebbs and flows in mood that I couldn't help believing that they really had been a couple for many years.
