#FunnyWoman s1e6 (2023) - 8/10
Good final episode.

1️⃣ As an ending this works. But it leaves so many things up in the air, I can only hope there is a second series. Does the novel also stop here?

2️⃣ I started watching for #GemmaArterton. Because, yes, I’m completely smitten with her. (And have been since #StTrinians. I freely admit it.) But, of course, everyone loves a good underdog story and I got invested in Barbara’s journey to stardom.

#FunnyWoman s1e5 (2023) - 8/10
Best episode; funniest.

1️⃣ Everything has gone to crap. For everyone. But this episode had the most laughs. And the best character moments. They really are a likeable bunch.

2️⃣ Nice cliffhanger. The show uses romcom tropes really well.

#FunnyWoman s1e4 (2023) - 8/10

1️⃣ It doesn’t bother me that nothing much happens. The fictional world that the show has created - one that draws heavily on real people/events from the 1960s - is completely captivating. And very entertaining.

2️⃣ And something does, in fact, happen in the last ten minutes! The show is consistently good at establishing a crisis in the closing scenes. Making it look as if everything is going to go horribly wrong for Sophie...

GAME FOR A LAUGH: Nick Hornby has adapted his 2014 novel 'Funny Girl' with Morwena Banks for Sky Max. Rebranded 'Funny Woman' and starring Gemma Arterton, David Threlfall & Rupert Everett, how does it fare as a six part series? https://loveitinpomona.blogspot.com/2023/04/game-for-laugh-funny-woman.html #comedy #novel #tvdrama #skymax #nickhornby #gemmaarterton #swingingsixties #london #blackpool #broadcasting #showbiz #morwenabanks #ruperteverett #davidthrelfall #sexism #racism #sixties #funnywoman #funnygirl

#FunnyWoman s1e3 (2023) - 8/10

1️⃣ There’s nothing here we haven’t seen before, but the show is charming. I freely admit to being utterly charmed by #GemmaArterton, for a start.

2️⃣ It reminds me of a feelgood/upbeat version of one of those trashy 80s mini-series where the heroine is seduced by success, makes bad choices, and it all goes horribly wrong for her.

#FunnyWoman s1e2 (2023) - 7/10
Better than episode 1, as our heroine enters the world of BBC sitcoms.

✅ Given that we assume she’s destined for eventual success, the show generates a surprising amount of tension/suspense with the various obstacles that crop up in her path.

#FunnyWoman s1e1 (2023) - 6/10

1️⃣ Thanks to #GemmaArterton, Barbara is a likeable and amusing protagonist.

2️⃣ The story appears to be an ordinary rags-to-riches tale but it’s well told and engrossing.

3️⃣ Feels like a movie but, unlike some of these mini-series, it appears to have enough story for 6 hours. Certainly, a lot happened in this first hour. Barbara’s situation changed several times and when it was over I wanted to see what would happen to her next.

Watched all 6 episodes in one hit. Absolutely superb and great cast #FunnyWoman #SkyTV #SkyStream #BingeWatch

The music from the promo for this is stuck in my head so now I've got to watch it! #FunnyWoman #SkyMax #SkyStream

A regular part of life these days is saving the last episode of a binge-watch to relish at a later date, because you don't want it to end 😭

This has been such a tonic for me this week ❤️
