amyjyoffie I love this show. It's weird and fun and I look forward to each episode. It is so funny that the daughters are named for musicians. Truthfully, I like Aretha the best. She is so laid back compared to the others. She dead pans everything. I like Grampy too. He reminds me of Michael Caine and gets into so much trouble all the time. What I am waiting to hear is how Della had all these children with nary a husband or father in sight or even mentioned. Yet, she holds it together with tough talk and her interactions with the kids. I recommend this show if you like hilarious, crazy fun. My only problem is that the captions won't sync. Anyone have an idea of how to fix them?
motleyalice I have just watched 'Raised by Wolves' for the first time; I had been avoiding it as, coming from the Black Country myself, I was worried about how 'we' would be portrayed. However I have to say that Della in particular cracked me up - she is so typically Black Country. The accent, the language, the self-mocking - all very typical for the area.I am disappointed that it was filmed in Manchester, as Wolverhampton has a decidedly different feel and character to the towns shown on the series. You do see some shots of the city - for example Banks's Brewery, the Molineux and the ring road. It is well worth watching as an enjoyable and, if I'm honest, very good depiction of how folks from the Black Country tend to think.
kaapenaarchitect Such a ray of nightmarish sunshine, to watch Della's dysfunctional horde. Finally a TV series that depicts the so-called "underclass" with such blunt panache and dry wit. Especially the subtle multi-level comedic nuances, many of which I only caught on the third viewing. Obtuse yet credible characters, as the glowing antithesis of what a "single Mum" family should be. Too many roiling undercurrents of my OWN childhood, which only sharpens the appeal. It's been a very long time since I laughed myself to distraction at a "family" TV show. My sincere congrats to all the writers, cast and crew. ( Hmm; since Babby Mariah is barely out of nappies, how did you POSSIBLY induce her mastery of "filthy side-eye"?) Thx...JBL, Toronto ,Canada.
DeanP1987 I watched the first three episodes back to back and really enjoyed good funny parts in the show, won't be everyone's cup of t but but it's funny, when the little girl say's "i can do a dance for her" then starts dancing it was so funny.This show kind brings back memories of growing up in a house with a older sister who's friends was round all the time acted a lot like Germaine acts, i kind of growing up experiencing what little Wyatt has put up with it wasn't a bad life really seeing half naked friends of my sister's walking around in the summer wasn't to bad lol.I'm hoping if they do a 2nd season they extend the episodes to 40 mins a episode.
