I loved that the ‘hot priest’ was going quite bald at the back. Gladdened my heart that did.

Wish I looked like the priest

Finished series 2 last night. Massively preferred it to series 1.

The whole best friend who died due to FB sleeping with her bf (are we doing spoilers?) in series 1 was massively telegraphed from the outset and the way they tried to use it as a twist kind of undermined a lot of the ‘honesty’ of it for me.

Thought there was a bit more light and shade in this one, and it was a bit less predictable. Or perhaps I’m just really soft and like seeing people succeed a little bit when they’re trying to get better as people.

First series was prob more innovative etc, but the second was definitely funnier.

Yeah, can’t argue with that!

I didn’t spot this at all! In fact at first I didn’t like the ‘twist’ because I preferred thinking of the character more favourably in spite of herself. But then I realised later that the whole point (which again I hadn’t realised properly) that a defining point of her character was that she was a sex addict so then I was like “ah this now all makes perfect sense - this is incredible television”.

I’m just not that bright really.

I didn’t see it coming either, but I am absolutely useless at predicting endings / spotting the obvious bad guy etc.

is she a sex addict or is she just a not very nice person?

#160

I think a disturbed person, not dealing well with her with grief and her prickly sibling and father relationships, who used sex as a crutch/ to fill a void (OOER) and was so selfish she didn’t care who she might hurt.

The Boo character is/was an annoying twat though.

I think she would define herself as one hence the scene at the end of the first series with Hugh Dennis’s character in the café. It’s not that clear cut, but I think in the stage show (that the sitcom came out of) the whole sex addict thing was a lot more central to the character. I dunno - someone on here would’ve definitely seen the original show above a pub 5 years ago or something so maybe they could confirm.

Well plus there’s that scene in series 1 where she says she’s not obsessed with sex then describes a whole list of things that are consistent with her actually being obsessed with sex.

Yeah I don’t remember a lot of the specific detail of S1. Perhaps a rewatch is in order.

The gold bust was about twice the size in S2

  • No it wasn’t
  • Yes it was, or at least bigger

I saw the show at Edinburgh and yes, it was a lot more obviously sex-focused but it did end with her making the connection between wanting a shag and emotionally just wanting someone there/to feel needed even just for a moment. They angled it a bit more towards the Boo/grief thing in the TV show.
