5.0 out of 5 stars brilliantly funny series, May 18, 2006
This review is from: The Book Group: Series 1 [Region 2] (DVD)
done right. I enjoyed watching this show and cannot wait for the second series. It's about a transplanted american trying to find her way in the social scene in Glasgow where soccer reigns supreme. Snappy dialogue, interesting characters and the twists in sub-plots made for fascinating viewing. Why aren't more smart comedies like these made in the U.S.? There is an audience waiting......

5.0 out of 5 stars A Work of Genius (the first series)., May 10, 2006
By 
Kerouac fan (Torquay, England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book Group: Series 1 [Region 2] (DVD)
Well I would say that wouldn't I? As they choose Kerouac's

On The Road as their first book for discussion. But seriously

(and I was being serious)- it's a lovely sit-com, or whatever

you might call it. Wonderful actors, brilliant script, - and

Annie Griffin - are you married? I found it very engaging,

- the Scottish footballer's wife Michelle Gomez is outstanding

(or do I mean entrancing?)- both! They're all great, brilliant

British production, shame it was made by a Yank!

(only joking).
