I found this gem, surprisingly on KERA, Texas's PBS station. Full of amazing characters both regular and bit parts. The one reviewer here had a problem with Gemma's character thinking she needed a man, but the reviewer states he/she only hung around for 4 episodes. The spoiler here is that our Gemma finds herself, unfinds herself, and keeps on going despite all her mother tells her about how to live her life. Gemma gets her job, dealing with social services, and meets quite an odd assortment of characters. I, living in the US, have always had the prejudice that the British have always got things on the money when it comes to acting, and no more does it show than in this little comedy that England has so unjustly chosen to forget. Gemma must not be forgotten, nor Sebastian, nor her goldfish. Hopefully this is not too much off the mark:
"Isn't it interesting how people leave you? They come into your life, uninvited most of the time, and then they move everything around as if it was a room full of furniture. And then, just as you're getting used to everything being in a different place, they move it all back again the way it was..and walk away."
