It has rare moments of brilliance that just barely make it a tolerable watch, but it'll always be a trash show with wretched humour. The two lead actresses are marvellous in their own right outside of this series, but this show is almost entirely carried by the supporting cast.

I love this programme and wanted it for a while but I just couldn't afford it at that point in time... Well not that my financial situation has changed, Ive still managed to just buy the complete collection because of an amazing offer of £13.99! Thank-you Google play.. Ive now got all seasons plus the special episodes!
