katjoeus I hardly EVER take the time to write reviews, so the fact that I have decided to write one for this show speaks volumes!! Ironically, I almost DIDN'T watch it because the blurb sounded like it was a show directed more at teenagers / younger folks (I am 46). However, as soon as I started watching, I was completely hooked - the acting on this show is the best I have seen in a long time, possibly ever! Every single character on this show is utterly amazing and totally credible. I think my personal favourite is Rae's mother; I had seen that actress in other things before but never realized quite how outstanding she was!! And the MUSIC!!!! Oh my goodness, I'd watch this show for the music alone...lots of Radiohead, Oasis etc. My favourite kind of music and it reminds me of when I was younger... This show manages to be tragic, sad, funny, witty all at the same time - kind of like life itself, right?? Watch it!!!
pankaa-berki OMG, it's changed my life. Yeah, I mean I'm a fat girl too, so i've had problems with the social life and I'm was so unhappy when i was thinking about.. I'm ugly, I'm fat, I'm not pretty, all my friends are perfect and beautiful.. and then I found this movie.. and.. i watched all the seasons and parts in one day :D only one day.. and I cried in the end. so I just really adore it and I can't wait for season 3! I'm gonna die if they don't make another season.. so please hurry up. by the way I fall in love with Finn, after all he is my wonder wall, and actually I really love the songs. I became a BIG fan of OASIS:)so thank you so much, I'm really glad to watch this film. :)
ljbostock76 Saw this advertised and watched the first episode but didn't really have an opinion either way. Anyway, after another weekend of awful weather and even worse TV, decided to give it a try.... What a surprise!! I watched episode 2 and instantly became hooked. I really enjoyed this show as it deals with mental illness from a different perspective and show the benefits of what counselling can do for some people. There were great story lines coupled with some outstanding performances from all characters, particularly Rae, Kester and Rae's mum. Hoping this has been commissioned for a second season as it's one of the best TV show I've watched in ages!! Season finale absolutely brilliant but make sure you have your tissues at the ready - it's a bit of a tearjerker.
Bruna Muller The thing I liked about this show is that it is about a real girl, with real problems, real friends and etc. Everything that happens on it seems authentic, it easily could be based on a true story, but they manage to keep it interesting. It reminds me a lot of "Skins", but lighter, not so much emphasis on drugs and sex, so if you like Skins, you will probably like My Mad Faty Diary. Also, it gives an insightful view on mental illness and different kinds of insecurities, which makes it easy to relate. It's the kind of show that you can't explain why, but it gets you obsessed with it, I watched the whole season in one day and I can't wait for the next one!
