[Petticrew's] flinty chemistry with reliable pro Gallagher keeps things on track even when proceedings veer into more predictable hugging and learning.

The overall mood is persuasive and heartfelt and Bronagh Gallagher is a great lead.

What starts out as a low-budget, Derry-set broad comedy takes a poignant detour through the subtle and unsubtle bullying of women of all ages to emerge as a rewarding mother-daughter romance.

A Bump Along the Way doesn't feel overly engineered, but my guess is it'll make viewers appreciate their mothers a little more.

3.5/5

It's not exactly a kitchen sink drama, it's too sanguine for that, but, like Derry Girls, a show that would work as a companion piece for a night's binge, it is a well observed story with terrific, earthy performances.
