And yet BBC turned it down two years ago for not having black characters in it, racism much? Now they can only cry watching Channel 5 scoring success that BBC would dearly like to have :)
Jason will kill me if I sign up for another streaming service, but I will be looking for torrents of this when I have time to binge watch what's already aired.

Deletei didn't know that fact. It thrills me to see them crying.
DeleteThey deserve it! They have not had a hit outside crime genre for years.
DeleteJust finished the season two..still find the original one was better though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the original, but I find this one cute and much needed, although the scripts could be more dynamic and original.
DeleteI dont know this film series before but its trailer looks nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very lovely family show.
DeleteI still want to see this one, but I need to stop being cheap and pay for PBS on Prime. I did see the first episode and loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely series that you can watch with the kids without being ashamed of anything. Probably the only such show currently on TV.
