Ruth Jones as Stella plays a role that alternates between cracking you up and making you weep. Nothing is more important to her than her family all of whom she supports without reservation. Unfortunately every one of them is addicted to making the worst life choices possible. Add to this a supporting cast of British loonies with idiosyncrasies that make them endearing, infuriating, and hysterical and you have a series that is as addicting as eating potato chips. While there is a core cast, you can count on Nadine, Big Alan, and Aunty Brenda to stay, every new season drops some characters and adds new ones. There is one certainty: Stella will have her heart broken as her choices in men lead to continuous disaster. But if you stick with it you will enjoy a crazy soccer game, a graveside fight, and a heart warming Christmas special. It may take some patience presh to get used to the mardy ass cocking dialect but eventually good boy it begins to make sense just avoid the bog roll bewt.
