I admit the first episode made me think "hmm, shall I bother carrying on?" but I'm glad I did! I got hooked, binged my way through the series and then was desperate for more after episode 6. It's a whirlwind of an introduction to this chaotic, blended family, but amidst their crises we do get glimpses of their love and bonds with each other. It's not laugh a minute, and the main themes of the series aren't exactly funny, but there are moments along the way that do make you laugh. The funniest character by far was Dom, played by Hugh Coles, who made me laugh out loud pretty much every time he had dialogue! I also thought the exploration of the relationship between the mum and Diane, and the themes of sexual orientation, identity and shame, were quite emotional at times.
