Reviews

mlangbein Sure, I would probably not have watched it if it hadn't been for Philip Glenister. But I found it to be solid, warm hearted entertainment. They could well have went over the top with stereotypes and culture clash, but managed not to most of the time. Though sometimes forseeable it offers some nice twists and turns and most of all a great cast. I'm really looking forward to the second season.

good-luck-chuck Admittedly, a large measure of our enjoyment is because the story's (alleged) location is just a couple hours drive north from our actual home. Now for our take on the show as "locals":1. As depicted in the series, the Florida locations are very much spot on. Florida's real R.V. (caravan) parks do vary from extremely up-scale which appeal mostly to owners of coaches selling for near half million dollars or more, to the much less ostentatious more run-of-the-mill parks akin to the one purchased by the Pembertons.2. The Florida characters (Yanks ?) are also accurately depicted in their wide range of personalities and often quirky behaviors, which do vary from the high-brow, self-aggrandizing elitists, to the salt-of-the-earth types.3. The depicted "cultural clash" also appears to be fairly accurate based on my own experience while working as a museum visitor services associate and interacting with numerous visitors from England.4. Yes, we actually do have 'gators, dolphins, otters, manatees, and more that swim in the canal in our backyard. In addition, there are bears, snakes, coyotes, armadillos, wild hogs, deer, and more which occasionally roam through our neighborhoods. My daughters, who live in the northern U.S., claim that we live in the "Wild Kingdom"; but we tell them that it's just all part of living in paradise.In all we probably enjoy this series more than viewers in GB because of the localization, but we are very much hoping for at least one more season of production.

peterrichboy We all have dreams of upping sticks and moving to Florida to take over a rundown ram shackled trailer park right? Of course we have and that is the plot for Sky Ones dreadfully unfunny new series Living The Dream. I can only hope that Philip Glenister and Lesley Sharpe were well paid as I can think of no other reason two of the countries finest acting talents would be involved in something so bad. Whilst the production quality is high the same can not be said of the script which just goes from insulting one American stereotype to another. From red neck American trailer trash to rich white god faring Christians no one is safe from a cheap insult. The half baked stories go from stupid to utterly ridiculous one can only hope this series is missed by our American friends, as it could do more damage to Anglo American relations since we burnt the White House down in 1812.

steve-cook245 Great series with a great setting, I find it entertaining, relaxing and wishing I was brave enough to give something like that a go. Look forward to future series. It is very interesting to compare the lifestyles here and in Florida, although I do wonder if the house and cars will be sustainable in the long run. Troy is a great character I think he will end up a friend not enemy!
