Rusty J Last Tango in Halifax is well written/clever and has outstanding characters. Season 1 was a great start. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved all 5 seasons of this show (season 4 was a 2-part Christmas special), but Rotten Tomatoes will only let me rate/review one season at a time. It was funny, heartwarming, poignant and at times devastating. Very rarely have I both laughed uncontrollably and openly wept at the same show. Kudos to the writers, directors and actors for working so well together to make such a great show. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic series! Well written stories and extremely well acted! Top notch!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review indie a I'd recommend this drama, but I'm not as enamored of it as others seem to be. Derek Jacobi and the other actors are phenomenal. The writing is good, but a little predictable and unbelievable at times. What irritates me about it is that some of the characters act in ways that are unrealistic in real life, make no sense, and/or are just downright irritating. The Gillian character whines & complains & lashes out at others in anger, and cries a lot. And that's in every episode. If something bad happens, Gillian spouts off unbelievably cruel things to people. If something good happens to her, she still spouts off and takes it out on others. Five minutes later, no one seems to acknowledge or remember her spouting off even happened. She's exasperating and very irritating and unlikeable. That'd be fine if she were a baddie character, but she's one of the good characters. Viewers can knock out 10 minutes of every episode for Gillian histrionics. Just fast forward. Oh, and she's always confessing to others about horrible, even criminal, things she's done to other people, for no reason whatsoever. No, Gillian, don't tell your fiancee's relative that you just had a quickie with a delivery boy in the back of his van yesterday. No, Gillian, don't tell a relative that you intentionally murdered his brother. And then lie to him and say you haven't told anyone else, when in fact, you've blabbed your crime to several people. The Gillian actress is a wonderful actress, so I'm not criticizing her talent. This is an interesting, very good series. But it could be better in the plot development & writing. I recommend, if you have a high resistance to irritating characters. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Top notch acting from Derek Jacobi Sarah Lancashire, and Nicola Walker Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't know a drama series could be this exciting. It's cozy, but progressive and clever. It captures the moods and emotions of the characters incredibly well, and so realistically, while still managing to make big surprising leaps.
