Together

On BBC2 the other week with Sharon Horgan and James McAvoy about the pandemic and lockdown.

Watched this the other night and when they both started talking to the camera I thought it was going to be shit, I wasn't sure what they were going for, a documentary, a play or what? I think it was a video diary in the end.

Anyway I soon got past that and was hooked, it was described as 'hilarious' in the EPG but it certainly wasn't although it was funny at times and McAvoy has some comedy chops on him. I mainly watched it because I love Horgan and she was great as usual.

I couldn't watch the bit where

Spoiler alert

she was alone talking to the camera about her dead mother as my mother passed not long ago.

I was also surprised about how much they ripped in to the government about their handling of the pandemic, it is the BBC after all.

It gets a solid 7.8/10 from me, other opinions are available. Here's two from imdb for example:

a movie about 2 people locked in a house?

If only the corona virus would have been for real. The biggest hoax in all mankind history.

Can not watch anything to do with the Pandemic, Am really sick of it.

[BlodwynPig]

Better than being sick with it

Did they live in a giant house with a kitchen island?

It was big but no island that I could see. Similar layout to the Outnumbered house now I think of it.
