Where to find it: BBC iPlayer
Length: Six 30-minute episodes
Synopsis: Mystery comedy-drama
Recommendation rating: 2/5
What I like about it: scene-stealing talented kid Ollie, manages decent drama for one episode (#4)
What I don’t like about it: dull comedy, weak first half, bad twists, no resolution
Review:
Nicola makes a new friend while dropping her son Ollie at school, a fellow mum named Jennifer. Mysteries build while they bond and are largely explained by episode 4, from Jen’s point-of-view. Sadly, the first half is more annoying than compelling and the last two episodes fizzle out awfully. The only element of the show worth seeing is Ollie, played by young disabled actor Lenny Rush with perfect comic delivery. Here is a two-minute clip of him in action.
