Yup, the MUM. Omg Ruth annoyed the shit out of me. She seemed to be "floating" thru life and had no idea where or how to fit in. I guess that may happen when your husband of however many years dies. (Btw the father JUST passes away when series one begins? Do you know exactly how recent it was??) But yeah Ruths constant whinging annoyed the crap out of me.
I found Ruth to be quite a source of humour throughout the show.
I did start to dislike her after what she did to George (i thought it very cold and harsh on her part) but prior to that i always sympathised with her.
Liked Claire tho. I know SHE constantly whinged too, but i dunno. For some reason I liked her. Maybe I could related to her a bit (ie. I'm female and the youngest in my family, like her)
I just found Claire to be obnoxious and selfish.
I sometimes forget though that the character was supposed to be 17 at the start (so 22 at the end) so i guess those traits often come out when we're young.
David tho was my fav. Felt like a fondness towards him, lol. Maybe cause hes gay.
David was another source of great humour.
An excellent character played perfectly by MCH.
What did you think of Brenda? I quite liked the character but my partner despised her.
I don't know if it was a female thing or just that the character didn't appeal to her.
Nate was my favourite character.
I didn't agree with many of the decisions he made but there was something inherently good and likeable about him and i really had an affinity with him.
And in keeping with the thread, i'll add a film i forget to add in my earlier post,
Yes Man.
I sat down to watch the film basically to see Rhys Darby (and Zooey Deschanel) and had no other real expectations but i was pleasantly surprised.
The writers obviously watched Jim Carrey in 'Liar Liar' prior to writing the script because it's basically the same film with just a slightly altered premise.
Enjoyable enough, though.
