v-maddock You have to watch this show! Wonderful, intelligent, heartwarming. Just wish it hadn't ended after two seasons. Great cast and fabulous acting.

liz-williams-952-549567 Funny, witty, and poignant, though I feel that my age group will pick up what is laid down much more deeply than younger viewers. Some things in life are only really understood when you have either been there, or are able to imagine it because you know it is coming, probably sooner than you hope. Scenes like the old woman dying, and lines like, 'we are all at deaths door. Some of us just have our hand on the doorknob', make this show one of the best on tv.

whereismikeyfl I binged on the original British series, which affected me greatly, but was a bit uneven in the writing. I looked forward to the Canadian version because I thought the bumps might have been smoothed out.Yikes! The scripts for the Canadian version rely on sit-com clichés and even when scenes are close to the British original, the performances eliminate the humor and emotion.Joanna Lumley said that one interpretation of the main character is that she is a potential suicide. Kim Catrall's Davina is too perky for that. She lacks the humanity and dry humor that Lumley brought to the role. Look at the first scene in the second episode. Lumley stands politely patronizing a high school aquintence, until she learns the woman's profession. Even though the Canadian script is almost identical, the humor of that moment of revelation is gone because the reality is not there. Catrall mugs and makes a big show of her responses. The acquaintance punches up her delivery. So the scene goes nowhere.The less said about the rest of the cast, the better.

sdwc-35821 I am really enjoying this program.I have just become a widow at 58 years of age (lost my husband to an accident) so also unexpected. I can totally relate to what Davina is feeling and going thru. I like how she is able to talk to her deceased husband and discuss their lives, past and present. And how Davian is trying different things and life styles as now she is alone and young enough to know she has a long life ahead of her. What will she do? What will I do?I can't believe what a great job Kim is doing is portraying a grieving widow, I forget that she is acting. Thank you for this program, it is helping me carry on! Thank you Kim! keep up the good work !
