What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople like this show's humor and acting, particularly from Rafe Spall and Esther Smith as the leads, but the story and originality get a lot of flak. The main complaint is the pacing, with many finding the series a frustratingly slow sitcom about a couple trying to adopt. While the core adoption premise is praised, the show's overall reception is split, with a significant chunk of viewers feeling the story just doesn't go anywhere compelling.
