It’s been a long time since I saw such a feel-good series about everyday people’s lives. I expect a lot of viewers to have an issue with the lack of action and slow pace. I complained about it in the first season, too, but now I can safely say I had no idea what I was talking about. An excellent series that puts emphasis on the human dimension and tells the story of people you could meet on the street (unless there is lockdown). (01.04.2020)

All right, I'm probably getting soft since I rated the first season as above average despite the story unfolding at a pace that would make a turtle seem like a sprinter. I seemed to have turned off my usual cynical mode, so I have no choice but to admit that the first season had a peculiar charm. Even though almost nothing happened in it, it was sustained by well-written and well-cast characters. Especially Becky was great. (30.03.2020)

This time I knew exactly what I was in for, so I was prepared for a very slow-paced story that wasn’t exactly action-packed (euphemism), and yet the creators still managed to surprise me. The second season had a much better developed story, it kept its great characters (Becky), and I felt that it had an even more powerful human dimension. An incredibly feel-good series about people for people. Mackenzie Crook did an excellent job in my view. (31.03.2020)

The third season did not reach the quality of the previous ones. The story lacked coherence and atmosphere. Plus, for reasons I can’t fathom, the creators let Becky take a back seat, letting her appear only in a few scenes, definitely not scoring any points with me. The human aspect of the story didn’t really show until the final episode, so even though I was still quite satisfied, I’m giving this season a lower rating, the previous ones were considerably better.
