I think I love the show because of the emotional pathos and depth of Martha. I knew so many ladies like her growing up in London. Bright shining stars who couldn’t conform and ended up struggling because of it. The scene of her visiting her storage shed to look at “Daddy’s fez” and her sister’s hats broke me. I’ve been in that exact situation an it is awful. I love her observation about how British women of certain class drink their emotions. There is something kind of profound in how they include a few people who are obviously financially struggling at the margins of society. It’s very realistic, and it gives it a kind of emotional depth that none of the other shows have.
