As someone who lived in Leeds in the years preceding the creation of this show, it was lovely to see familiar bits of the city feature in a show that was actually really, really good.
I remember we enjoyed the series very much and it was sad that it didn't continue, but life went on and it was only recently that I obtained the DVD and began a re-watch.
The viewer is definitely thrown in at the deep end, with a great deal of rapid fire dialogue, some of it with a Scottish accent (which always takes me a moment to adapt to despite my familial connections!). It doesn't take long to catch on to who is who though, or the set up of this being a relatively new chambers, a breakaway from another. It seems the old chambers might have some resentment about that, and it also seems as though the new chambers comprises a group of mostly younger people who want to do things a bit differently from the old bar establishment.
It doesn't take long for the show to produce both drama and humour (the latter often around naive Morag from Mull) and it's a great start.
