Back to Life watchseries. An original storyline about a woman returning to her small town after serving a life sentence. There are lots of insightful moments that show how stuck attitudes stop us moving forward. There is an overuse of swearing that jars but the acting, the plot and the painful relationships throughout make it worth watching.
If you loved Fleabag or Killing Eve, give this a go. Daisy Haggard wrote and stars in this incredibly clever, beautifully written drama. There are moments of comedy and tragedy. I guessed the 'punchline'. I'm not going to spoil it. Watch it. You won't be disappointed.
Daisy Haggard writes and stars in this hugely entertaining comedy drama, about a woman released from prison after serving a sentence for murdering her best friend 18 years earlier. Out of work and having to live with her parents and still despised by the local community in a sleepy seaside town life is not a bed a roses as she tries to heal the wounds, with her friends and family. Beautifully written with a terrific cast Back to life is one of the best shows of 2019. 9/10
This is funny, sad, and beautifully written. Acting superb. It is a reminder of human resilience and spirit. If you want to escape for 3 hours I suggest binge watching the six episodes.
Absolute brillant show! A bit of everything, from comedy, drama, love and suspense. Hoping for a second season
