Joe C Was looking forward to the pairing of Manville & Mullen (and especially for the novelty of seeing the latter as a good guy) but whoever (the writer) thought it was a brilliant idea to make every supporting character obnoxious, clueless, nonredeemable and completely unlikable...oh, and give them lots and lots of lines...makes for an excruciating comedy experience. I hung through one season to see if Manville would give all the free-loaders a boot, but to no avail. My wife continued with Season 2 and told me it's more of the same. If I want to spend time with dysfunctional house guests, I'll invite the in-laws over, thank you very much. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Lee C Brilliant! Wonderful actors playing hilarious characters! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Mum is such a good show! There is nothing else like it! It doesn't move fast and it's perfect that way, because it pulls you right into their life and what it feels like to be them. This show makes you feel, laugh, and wish for love. It tugs at the heartstrings and leaves you feeling happy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I found series 3 - after watching 2 episodes I googled and realised there were 2 series's before the ‘Birthday week away'. So I went back to the beginning and watched series 1. I laughed, I cried, I cringed, I rewound! And I completely fell in love with ‘Mum'. The relationship between Cathy and Kelly is 1 of the best TV couplings I've ever seen!! The script is fantastic, and they both play it so well!! Kelly could have been annoying and disliked for the things she says, but I found myself absolutely loving her character, and her relationship with her boyfriends mum goes at 100 miles a hour! Within 5 minutes of meeting (as they prepare to leave for Cathy's husbands funeral!) Kelly asks if she can borrow some knickers because she thought she better wear some for church. Haha! This and many other 1 liners completely endeared her to me and her character develops week on week, she loves Cathy so much and it really comes across! Top marks for story line, the other relationships are brilliant and very real! And of course as a viewer I was hoping that Cathy and Michael would get together as he is obviously head over heels for her. I felt that Pauline's character was annoying and cutting at first, and I felt so sorry for Derek. Until the episode which shows where she works and after that I couldn't stop laughing every time she came out with a hilarious comment! Also I must mention the Grandparents - again the 1 liners are fantastic and the comedy timing is genius!! This show has been a breath of fresh air and I really hope they will make a series 4! And 5! And 6! I don't want it to end! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
