1/10
COMPLETE SILLY TRIPE MADE FOR YOUR NAN
30 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What kind of meds are people on giving this show a 10? I had high hopes for this show due to the lead and Craig Parkinson. Parkinson's character would actually make a great show but Acorn would rather waste their funding on another silly nan show that is doomed from the beginning.

The concept is completely unbelievable. Mrs. Sidhu pops up in every scene like you are playing Whac-A-Mole. Then she has to espouse some philosophy every time she opens her mouth and is already tiresome in the first 5 minutes. In all of Buddha's teachings he didn't have as much to say as she does on every subject. The cliche here is everything has to relate back to food. So overdone here. This show lacks any subtlety.

The writers try to make jokes but they are so weak they actually detract from the show.

Craig Parkinson is the only thing keeping this dog on life support. He is wonderful on Grace and here also and is the main reason I gave this show a try. Sadly, he can't save this barker.

Acorn keeps making each show dumber and dumber. I know their target audience is older but they write like their audience is in a coma. The Chelsea Detective is awful but Mrs Sidhu is so much worse that Chelsea Detective seems like Poirot (not truly) in comparison. This is right down at the bottom of Acorn shows right along with Harry Wild.

The Peloton like company in this show is totally unbelievable. Why they even have a one woman caterer makes no sense. A caterer wouldn't have time to meddle in everything and of course it just so happens that her friend's daughter works there. So unbelievable.
