I told you last week that we use Amazon Prime for work and with that we get all their "netflix" type shows.
It still frustrates us because it is not user-friendly like Netflix but really enjoying their shows.
This one slayed us.
Unfortunately, this is only 6 episodes, so we binged on them Saturday night.
My God it was funny. And truthful in a way you don't normally see. Truthful about the aging, the sex, the pregnancy, the family issues.
Because the lead man is American in London there are a lot of references to America that are so spot on how the rest of the world sees us and it's funny. The lead female is Irish. She tends to see the dark in everything and this lover of hers, the American, sees the light in earnest in everything. So the comedy ensues.
If you are someone who only likes PG-13 at best, then this is not for you.
It is an adult real comedy of 2015 and it has some language and topics that may make some offended or squirmish.
And thank God for my husband and cc because I have such a difficult time with accents and there were times I had no idea what she just said so Rick would repeat and then he just turned on the CC. So it's not just for the hard of hearing I learned.

Looks interesting. I have access to AP through my son.
We laughed a great deal Mike.
And I don't think this would offend you. :-)
One of my favorite comments was when they are talking about killing someone and she tells him to go to America and get a gun and come back here. ah, so true.
I agree that they are so missing the boat with such an unfriendly movie site. The only thing I can think of is that since you get it free with Prime, they don't want so many people using it. I have to be really desperate to go to the trouble to find something to watch.
But she hardly has any Irish accent at all! Ha, I bet you'd have an issue understanding me then!
Barbara, glad to know it's not just me. I heard of this show and Alpha House. I couldn't get into Alpha House even though I really liked a lot of the actors. I am bored with political things, even comedy. I just want to laugh these days.
Joe - You didn't think she did huh? The others from the UK were difficult as well for me. My dear friend and a former boss is Irish. I used to tell him that he needed to have subtitles under his chin for me. But the longer he was here the easier it got for me. I saw him in October while in Florida and I understood him well except as the night went on, the more wine was poured, he seemed to get more Irish. I said that to him and he laughed and said he's heard that before. :-)
He is back in Ireland now so I have a reason to visit and I am certain he will slide back into his native tongue and I won't understand a thing!
Yet to watch that series but sounds like a good one indeed. I will be sure to check it out. Nice of you to share.
