On the Day before her wedding, Donna decides her life is boring and she wants to be single. She then calls off the wedding moves in with her two single best friends. Thus begins a series I'd describe as a raunchy romantic dramedy. Don't let that description turn you off. It is definitely comedy first, using their drama and romantic failures as the setup to it's punchlines.
The show is funny and actually pretty well written. To me, the mark of a good show is when I find myself invested in the characters, and to it's credit, I got sucked in. Each of the ladies are equally comical and they support each other while getting the chance to shine individually.
Canceled after 2 seasons, they were allowed an hr long special to wrap up outstanding plot lines. But that was clearly disjointed. They jumped forward in time about 6 months and You could tell that the series was being rushed to it's conclusion. Plot lines, new loves, and bad situations, just to name a few things that were left hanging or unanswered by the series finale. The hr special was supposed to help alleviate, but it only highlighted the burden of the show's sudden departure.
A clip. Just because I can:
Out of Five? Four. Another good production unfortunately hurt by it's untimely cancellation.
Bonus: Sharon Horgan(Donna) wrote and starred in this raunchy female led BBC series. You can see her currently as the love interest in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.
Violence? Comedic
Explosions? No
Nudity? Surprisingly, none.
