    One of the best seasons of television I have ever seen. Great cast, well-written characters, lots of laugh out loud moments and genuinely engaging storylines all the way through.

    Season 2 was much better than season 1, but then again, a show has to have it's time to get going... to tell it's back story... to set up plots. I thought season one was pretty good and wanted to give this show a chance. I'm glad I did.

    The show really upped the anti with this season, developing the characters and making many far more intricate plots. Great viewing. The actors have settled into their characters far more too.

    Anyone wasting the precious Time of Their Lives on inanity like this - really really needs to get a life and get a grip - the country slid into decadent hell 15 years ago - and that's funny? ask all the children on antidepressants.

    A wonderfully written and performed tv series, not reliant on its taboo subject matter for enterainment or as a cautionary tale; rather an exploration of the effect of a career choice on a mother and all the lives she touches. Witty dialogue, understated humour and tantalising cliffhangers that engage the viewer, you'll soon be addicted!

    one of the best shows right now. I think the 3rd season wasn't as good as the rest but still very interesting. And the fourth has started becoming as funny and twisted as the first 2 seasons.

    This show is entertaining and is getting better all of the time. I would have watched sooner had I known MLP was in it. She is not a classic beauty, but she is very sexy and a great actress. I love things with her in them. My problem with it is that there are many things that happen that seem implausible, but perhaps absurdity is the point.
