Mum (2016)
A show about the extraordinary ordinary
10 January 2019 - 10 out of 13 users found this review helpful.
Every person I recommend this to - and make no mistake, I recommend it to everyone - absolutely adores it. The writing is so brilliant that even though the characters begin to get marginally too zany as though they will go the route of caricature, they are brought right back and grounded. Each episode brings small little nuances that reminds us they are all human and a product of their upbringing/past that has made them who they are.
Lesley Manville and Peter Mullen are out of this world brilliant. The slow-burn romance between them is the thread that keeps the show moving forward, month by month and giving us all larger and larger glimpses into their story. You will not be disappointed.
