The Flatshare (2022)
6/10
Feel-good but lacking
8 September 2023
Watched the whole show in one go with my SO, we were sure that if we didn't watch it all immediately we never would've put it on again. With that said, it definitely isn't a bad show, but it's certainly not a masterpiece either as it is rather basic apart from the quite interesting subplot about his brother (thinking the brother is cute might've made us biased..) We found the main character rather childish and often irrational and boring, and acting entitled many times.

Also the whole subplot about the young Holly-girl as some kind of life-coach was super weird and somehow cliche. That goes for the old-gay-lover-plot as well. Didn't see the need for those storylines, the main characters should've been able to fall in love in other ways (like living together and writing copious amounts of post-its??) and not because they we're parent-trapped by a girl on her deathbed.

Would still recommend if you want to see something extremely light and yet deep.
