I watched it last night, convinced it would be excellent cos of Sharon Horgan. It was ok. First episode was bad. Rest of it was an improvement, but just not that engaging, and quite slow. Lily was decent in it though. The older sister? (Claire), youngest sister (Leila) and the mum stole the show though.Has anyone watched Dreamland yet? I put it on in the background yesterday. Not as good/funny as some of the other Sharon Horgan stuff but apparently she only produced this. Supporting cast is excellent but Lily is just ok. Decent enough job but I think a proper comic actor would have probably been better.
Agreed. Also, although I think Freema is beautiful, I haven’t seen her in a role yet where she’s convinced me she can actually act. Apparently it was based on a short with Sheridan Smith in Freema’s role and Morgana Robinson in Lily’s. Shame they couldn’t reprise their roles for the series.The older sister?

I think she was limited by the character - she was like a caricature of an aggressive black woman, and it wasn’t until the very end that there seemed to be any more dimension to her. They did try to cover a couple of social issues with her character, but it was clunky and contrived.Agreed.

I agree - the scene in the hospital in E1 (?) was a bit much. Those are of course very important issues that just felt shoehorned in to one bit of a dialogueI think she was limited by the character - she was like a caricature of an aggressive black woman, and it wasn’t until the very end that there seemed to be any more dimension to her.

I loved her in New Amsterdam! (I’ve only seen her in that and Sense8) I thought she was fine, better than Lily… It was like watching Lily Allen act. I found myself cringing at her at times!Agreed.

She was in the DM saying how she simply forgets to eat although she loves food.Has anybody listened to Lily on the Off Menu podcast that came out the other day? She is so utterly spoilt but for some reason, I can’t help but like her.
Lots of insights to her eating habits anyway.
Yep…she said she forgets to eat because she’s so busy with her kids…then in the same interview says that they go to school and she has a nanny. She sounds hands on enough but her day can’t possibly be so jam-packed that she forgets to eat. She just means she doesn’t have an appetite.She was in th

Then i go on the Ozempic thread (weight loss drug) and thats how posters are saying they feel...
You only have to look at what she’s used to look like not that she was ever ever ever “big” to know that this is not naturally her. Weird how the 10-20years previously she remembered to eat and didn’t like so sick and skeletalShe was in th

I remember Alexa Chung said this too when her career was taking off - that she was too busy and would forget to go to the supermarket...over a decade later and she pretty much still looks the same as when she first lost weight. :/She was in th

David and Lily are a couple that I just don’t get, I can’t put my finger on it but I feel like it’ll end in disaster and I just don’t know why!David has become fatter and very thin for roles before. So my hunch is that he's introduced her to some medication (maybe ozempic) that suppresses appetite.
I know. She always had weird looking older boyfriends though hasn't she ?David and Lily are a couple that I just don’t get, I can’t put my finger on it but I feel like it’ll end in disaster and I just don’t know why!
I saw a very old clip of Alexa on Instagram and she was absolutely stunning - it was before she lost weight and her face was full and healthy, rather than gaunt and sullen. I know Alexa has the ‘fashion’ look these days but in my opinion it’s nowhere near as attractive as when she had colour in her cheeks and a sparkle in her eye.I remember Alexa Chung said this too when her career was taking off - that she was too busy and would forget to go to the supermarket...over a decade later and she pretty much still looks the same as when she first lost weight. :/
