I wouldn’t have thought I’d be writing anything about this one before today, but around midday I suddenly started to get excited … the last episode … they’re getting married tonight! And as the episode started, I got a buzz almost akin to that you get from a real wedding, lol, it’s crazy. This has been a beautiful sitcom about real, tragically beautiful to borrow from “Wicked”, people, a little Royle Family, a little Two Pints, a lot of Welsh. In 6 episodes they covered a whole relationship from inception to marriage. Compressing such a major period of two peoples’ lives in such a short time turned out to be probably the most perfect way to do it. A criticism I imagine some might have levelled at this show is that it was all too fast … but in the end, this is probably the thing I loved the most about it … love is just like that, even in my limited (though, I feel, ample) experience.

I don’t know if I’d like to see more of these two characters … but they left it open for a whole nother rollercoaster with Nessa and Smithy which I’d love to see, and I’m sure the writers (also, coincidentally, the actors who played Nessa and Smithy) are probably itching to get started on … in fact, I’m not entirely sure that this whole series wasn’t really just a set-up for “Nessa and Smithy” lol. But anyway, in short, I loved it.
