This is a wonderfully written and perfectly played comedy of a calibre that I haven't seen in a very long time. The plot summary gives you a little hint about what's to come. However, just watch an episode and you can't but be captivated by the wonderful realism in the story and acting, how the characters draw you in and connect at a very deep level, and the warmth and happiness that you'll surely feel.

As the plot summary hints, the story touches upon complicated topics like the consequences of your choices and actions and does this in a beautiful style that delicately balances humour, fantasy and relatability.

The children play their roles with such class, I'd be sitting with a silly grin on my face throughout. When playing adults, the characters share lots of trivia and day-to-day events, and this style works superbly here because it's blended and balanced so well with the underlying threads of the narrative and I now feel that I really "know" the people behind the screen. It's like I have a seat at their table while they're enjoying a lighthearted conversation over tea, and when the scene is over I'm feeling that I was really at tea with old friends - not a very different feeling than when I've met my friends in real life - it feels real, not like acting. Very few movies or dramas have ever managed this.

I'll not spoil it, but stick with it to the end through the plot twists - the ending is just so wholesome and happy. I still feel the joy and warmth long after having finished watching it. I recommend this highly to anyone looking for a story that's deep, meaningful and rewarding to watch.
