In The Club - terrific show, does a great job of entwining the various parents at a birthing club. Not an awful lot of depth to each of the characters but it can be forgiven seeing as it covers so many so evenly intertwined. Minor fault - thought it was odd the way the Asian couple were the resident tweedledum n tweedledee getting into every mess under the sun. A little against type.
The Village - better than the first season, more action packed lol. But I like this version better, not sure what the criticism is about being 'Lefty' what do critics expect of a show that focuses on the lowly villagers - who seriously expects them to be loveydovey with the gentry, or expects the landowners to be devout philanthropists? Theres a fresh quiet airy feel to the village this season and the fluffy music depicting the Dales feels a bit false, giving you the impression you are on holiday there rather than eeking out a hardy existence on a farm. But its a better on the eyes - 60 minutes of misery each week in season 1 didn't endear one to the show.
Yet herein lies the problem - its gritty realism is what made The Village different - and without it, the show is in danger of becoming just another period drama rather than the premium tv tag it aspires to.
