This was a very sexy totalling absorbing drama. I cannot rate it enough - very real to life and brilliant storylines. Very good to see Emma Pearson back working with Max Beesley after Hotel Babylon - her character was again fantastic. 5 Stars....

I had never heard of this series at all but I thought I would give it a whirl if only for the fact that Max Beesley was in it.
You won't be disappointed.
It's like a more darker,sexier,funnier Cold Feet,alas,its only 4 episodes though.
I was hooked within the first 5 mins and watched all 4 episodes back to back.
The support actors in this ,I must confess,out-act Mr Beesley.
Lots of laughter & tears,especially the best mans speech plus sexy scenes and the bonus of seeing ,once again ,Max Beeslys bare bum.
Deffo one for the ladies.

So much for the British "stiff upper lip"!

There hasn't been such an assortment of selfish, self-indulgent, self-absorbed people on film since "Valley of the Dolls". Not one character gives a single thought for the consequences of his actions - generally to bed someone - or who may be hurt. If it `feels right' (read: if horny enough), that's sufficient.

Max Beesley as Mitch Moore, womanizing talk-radio jockey, is funny and entertaining. Although he tramples on the feelings of woman after woman who willingly fall for his line, he does it in a light-hearted, winning way.

But the show changes course radically, from witty social farce to maudlin soaper, when Mitch sleeps with his best friend Woody's fiancee. She throws herself at him two days before her wedding to Woody, with whom she already has a child. Now, how could Mitch say no to that?! But, taste considerations aside, he becomes obsessed with her, the drama stops, and the melodrama begins.

On the basis of that one-night stand, Mitch renounces his naughty nature, which made him so attractive, and decides he wants only her. His manner becomes unsympathetic, mawkish, tedious, and - worse - boring.

And don't even talk to me about his sister! Her self-destructive actions defy description or credibility. She could so easily have been happier, and less hurtful to someone quite vulnerable, with just a modicum of reflection. Suffice it to say, for a teacher she has no clue how to talk to a teenager.

The only character that comes across with any dignity at all is Woody. As he is the producer of the show, Mitch jeopardizes his career as well as his only friendship to have a self-centered woman. Neither Mitch nor his wife deserve Woody who, as played by Joseph Millson, is handsome, desirable - and nice! On the downside, he does cry a lot. But, to be fair, the characters around him could drive anyone to distraction.

What an excellent show this was! A whole range of topics explored in a very adult drama. Great TV and highly recommended for anyone who likes quality acting and absorbing storylines.

I really enjoyed the TV series so I bought the DVD only to be disappointed the sound track was different and no where near as good! The choice of music was excellent in the TV version with the likes of Damien Rice, The Fray, Snow Patrol and so on, and I was surprised how much difference it made to the impact of the drama. Should have kept to the original; sorry I deleted it from sky plus now!
