TV review: This Way Up is a masterpiece

If you haven’t seen the first series yet, then what are you waiting for? This Way Up is very funny and has a breathtakingly beautiful and sad final scene

Aisling Bea’s masterpiece isn’t a bunch of singles, it’s an album. I’d recommend you watch all six episodes of the second series in one or two goes.

We've just finished watching the second series of This Way Up (Channel 4 and All 4 ) in our house. I’d sometimes review these after watching one episode of the new series, and that’s fine if they’re just episodic sit-coms where an issue arises at the start and is resolved by the end.

This Way Up isn’t that kind of show. Aisling Bea’s masterpiece isn’t a bunch of singles, it’s an album. I’d recommend you watch all six episodes of the second series in one or two goes. If you haven’t seen the first series yet, then what are you waiting for?
