Wait, they don't love you like I love you

They have the best band name and one of the coolest lead singers since… That mask slips when met with the tenderness of this.

Yeah, my father in law had dementia and to lose someone before they actually pass is heartbreaking in the extreme

Yeah, her mother died a couple of years ago with dementia. Unfortunately they are only too aware of what’s going to happen

Proper telly. Sally Wainwright's dialogue is funny, wry & pin-sharp & a genius-recruited cast bring warmth & pathos to a triumphant story. Brilliant northern women doing brilliant northern women things: the writers & actors & the characters they play. Punk is just the side dish, but still a riot.

Riot Women review – Sally Wainwright’s menopausal punk drama is one of her best

This high-pedigree TV drama about midlife women who form a punk band is up there with Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax. It’s rich, plot-packed, and perfectly seasoned with humour

Americans really need to know the difference between “radical left” (no-one in the US), Liberal (Bernie, AOC), Conservative (Democrats), and basically the Third Reich (GOP).
