Reviews

tiffanythestrauss Not mind-blowingly so, but often funny, with a very likable main couple. Not derivative either. :)

fryer-86034 I loved the first season of this comedy and now the second season is here I want to congratulate the writers for a well written sitcom with a difference. It could have been crass and smutty but it is very funny and sensitive. The acting on the whole is very good with one exception and that is Jonny Dixon. Although he is supposed to be a bit of a lad his acting is way over the top in this second series and is not believable at all. He seems to have been given free range on the character and not pulled up on his overacting, as if on a stage, and not TV. The rest of the cast are excellent and very believable. I hope the series continues to be handled in the same way.

Paul Evans I've not been majorly impressed with some of the sitcoms we've been given in recent times. Boy meets Girl has given us some genuine laughs, it's funny and truly entertaining, but there's also a story to it, it feels like it's doing more then just making laughs. The whole concept of a transgender age gap comedy is fairly brave for the BBC, normally we have to contend with a mummy, a daddy, a daughter and a son. Has even the BBC moved on at last? We see the meeting, dating and growing of the relationship between Judy and Leo, and the effects on both their families, each full of their own particular quirks. I've been so impressed with all aspects of this comedy, the cast are a delight and even at this early stage i'll say it, please order a second series. 10/10

ianlouisiana It may be a "one - joke" comedy,but it's a better joke than most new TV comedies. Because the joke is on us - the audience who might consider transgender comedy finished being funny in "Some like it hot" and who think we are being liberal by laughing a drag queens but the deadly serious side of of being born into the wrong sex is not something we care to address. In "Boy meets Girl" the issue is thrust to the fore in a very disarming manner when a young man falls for an older woman who was once a young man herself. Both families deal with the issue by either pretending it doesn't exist outside a "Carry On" film or hoping it will go away. The programme benefits immeasurably from the presence of the mighty mesdames D.Welch and J.Duvitsky as the matriarchs.These are two of our finest comic actors and we are lucky to have them. Miss J.Root is beautiful and fragile yet strong as the girl and Mr D.Betts really rather sweet as the boy who meets her. This is an outstandingly written and performed show that could easily have toppled over into either crudity or bathos. That it does neither is a credit to all.
