Rusty J Last Tango keeps impressing, Very clever. And continued memorable and unique characters. 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 Wonderful series!! Love the actors and the rich stories! The nuances in the character personalities are a strength as are the presentations of their ongoing life challenges that are sprinkled with humor. Bravo!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Having enjoyed Sally Wainwright's "Happy Valley", I had great expectations for this series. Unfortunately -- though it has engagingly flawed characters, witty dialogue, great acting -- it's a bit of a disappointment overall. The problem is lazy plotting, where random melodrama is periodically introduced to shake things up or provide an easy resolution for tensions between the characters. LTIH excels in its quieter moments, where drama arises from believable personality flaws, bad judgment, or the simple demands of raising a family. The rekindled romance between Alan & Celia is delightful, and offers many opportunities for drama as they realize what it means to finally get the person you've had a crush on for 60 years. Great stuff. But then out of the blue (perhaps to juice up the ratings?) something dramatic or shocking will happen which allows simmering tensions to be lightly tossed aside without a real resolution. After a while it seems laughable. A secret pregnancy is revealed, and not only is she 8 months pregnant, but she's having the baby *right now*! Gillian's poor taste in men leads to conflict & argument, and then suddenly her car blows up for no apparent reason (and is never mentioned again). Celia has issues with Caroline's lesbian romance, but then suddenly an illegitimate son pops up out of nowhere, and then we kill off a major character as well for good measure! It's all piled on far too thick. If Wainwright had more trust in her wonderful characters, and more faith in the audience to enjoy a more realistic drama, the result could have been much more satisfying.
