Good review echoing pretty much why I dropped it. How on earth did she get so many certificates for bravery when she pretty much becomes helpless in every situation after episode one?

Made it further than I did - I did like the brief homage to Goblin in the alley way and the mother was refreshing - rest of it not so much.

I was doing the ironing at the weekend and couldn't find anything nice and light to watch whilst doing so. Then this popped up on one of the lists and I'm watching it and still laughing and getting the feels from it. I think I've watched it once a year since it aired it ain't perfect but it's great.

Kudos

the first episode was great but it went down fast after they grew up.

Too silly for me

I stuck it out for a while but they were all so unlikeable and I got to the point where I didn't care if she was found if it only stopped all those 'this time?' moments. I'll put it on hold and try it again some day.

I tried rewatching it and the slog in the middle was really hard to go through a second time. Still plenty of fun with a judicious use of FF

I dropped it in the end -creepy overload

LTCFL was sort of OK but the 'you must conform to the accepted beauty standards' bit was hard to crunch. She wasn't beautiful and successful till she had lost the glasses, curls, tan etc.

Kooky for the sake of kookiness only really works for short periods without something solid to frame it. This does not have that framework which is a waste of a couple of good actors.
Dropped

The creepiness is already getting too much for me :(

Me neither

Thanks

And she stops using Grandpa's painting as her own?

The male actors.

Do the chaps learn how to act as well?

Good sold watch a little dated but otherwise fab.

Ah! I am more upset when I see her getting emotionally and physically abused in a show that aired in the same year she committed suicide and not so many years after her hubby beat her.

This is great so far
