"It's perfect, that's all. It's got the perfect meet-cute (boob, crashed car, injured dog); the perfect combination of realism and romance (especially for non-romantics like me); the perfect heroine (neither the hot mess nor the manic pixie dream girl we are so often forced to accept); the perfect hero (laid-back but not lazy, older but not creepy, patient, not a pillock) and perfect writing."
"In my review I said it was like real life with all the good lines jammed closer together and I stand by that. It depicts ordinarily messy lives and every moment funny, sad or any point in between feels true. And then they did it all again for a second series. Matchless. The fact that the writers and stars, Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, are actually married is the icing on the cake. Imagine such joy being out there in the real world."
Colin from Accounts presents a flawless meet-cute and a balanced mix of realism and romance, portraying ordinary messy lives with moments that feel true. The heroine avoids cliché while the hero is mature, patient and appealing, supported by incisive writing and the chemistry of Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall. Last Tango in Halifax offers a warm, witty late-life love story built around a letter undelivered for 50 years, elevated by Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi. The series uses simplicity and inventive plotting across multiple seasons to rigorously test and deepen its central relationship.
