so it has similarities with the original show - but as you get in to it, you can see its been adapted, changed and added to so that is as good or better. its graphic, depressing and absolutely hilarious! If you like the queens speech, or you live in cuckoo land where your life is a bed of roses - then you should not watch this. If you don't have s silver spoon in your mouth and your happy with a gritty honest TV show that's happy to pop your delusional bubble, then you will love this!
