I'm 64 and loved it--it is how we are today, Oct 24 2009

This review is from: Sensitive Skin S1/2 (DVD)
I bought this dvd series because I so enjoyed Joanna Lumley in AbFab and wanted to see more of her work. Two things struck me about this BBC series: First, this is a realistic telling of what it is like to be in your 60's today. We were "the me generation," it is hard to believe we are in our 60's now--we were important, we set the rules, we partied and we thought we'd go on forever. We still think of ourselves that way. Being 60 today is not like when my Grandmother turned 60. We still drive sports cars, bikes, hike, party, drink, some do drugs, and have sex. Seeing flirting and sexual appetites still strong in people in their 60's is common today--just you wait! The Second thing, I felt was that I really knew these people. Joanna's character's discussions with her halucinatory visitors is typical of someone who is trying to come to terms with getting older. How does it affect me, and how should it affect me? What are the boundaries? How should I be living my life now and how should I represent that. It's totally weird to realize that if you are still waiting for things to happen to you, you have missed most of your life! Mr. Blick, who is writer, director and producer has done an incredible job. He is either 60 or he understands that generation extremely well. This is a wonderful series. The actors are first rate, Joanna Lumley is terrific. When you remember Patsy from AbFab, and see Ms. Lumley in this, you realize what a good actor she is. If you are a fan of hers, grab it.

I just finished series 1 & 2. I love Joanna Lumley and was surprised to find a cast of familiar faces from other BBC classics. It takes a bit a patience to get through the first series. It's pretty glum, but you have time to get introduced to everyone. The second series is great. There's a lot more characters who come in and out that add a humorous tone.

A Masterpiece!, Mar 29 2010

This review is from: Sensitive Skin S1/2 (DVD)
The writing, the directing, the acting the, incredible honesty makes this DVD set a must for anyone who longs for story and image that completely satisfies the desire of introspection and the wisdom that comes from it. I have shared this with friends and I must choose my friends well because they feel the same way I do (over-the-top amazement!) and have purchased their own DVD set. I can't say enough about how subtleness is used so daringingly up front. I love "Sensitive Skin"!!! I am so glad a friend told me about it. How else would I have found it! To Hugo Blick, the writer,director, producer; thank you, thank you, thank you--and p-l-e-a-s-e- do more!!!! Hugo Blick is also a great actor and plays the GI in an episode. What a lovely treat that is!
Listmania!
