Me and Mrs Mortified watched the whole of the first series last night. And I have to say it was superb. We watched a couple then had to watch all six. We'll do the second lot tonight. Poignant and achingly funny in equal measures. Not an easy thing to achieve. A very good cast as well. Heavyweight actors such as Penelope Wilton, Paul Kaye and David Bradley in principal roles. Highly recommended. As already said, "the best thing on by a million miles". Into series 2 at present and thankfully taken off exactly as where it series 1 left. Said we’d watch 2 episodes... now watching 4th😂👍great show.

Did the whole of the second series last night. Great stuff. I think the relative shortness of the episodes helps. They averaged out at about 27 or 28 minutes each. My wife is in love with the dog

The Scottish actress who plays the nurse is quite often with Ricky Gervais in his programmes. She was certainly in Extras which was another cracking series. Ronnie Corbett caught snorting coke in a toilet is a scene I'll never forget

The first series was one of the best things that I have seen on Netflix. I love the postman, what a character. Brilliant writing. I felt the second series did not live up to the first. The Paul Kaye character, although fairly funny in the first series was just too over the top in the second, along with the bearded horder guy. They were characters that the show could have done without. I felt in the second series the Asian reporter was underused as well. The aforementioned postman,the sex worker and the lady by the grave were all great characters.I loved the little newspaper reports when they went to visit people in their houses. Very clever and funny.I personally felt the first series started and ended perfectly, a second series was unnecessary.
