Though not the most original of concepts, I really enjoyed Monday Monday. If you are looking for challenging drama, or laugh out loud comedy, you will probably be disappointed. If you are looking for easy-watching comedy drama with likable characters and some funny story lines, then Monday Monday is for you.

Unfortunately, the low viewing figures of under three million for an ITV1 show - that spent two years on the shelf before being aired - indicates it will be highly unlikely to get a second series.

Fay Ripley, Morven Christie and Holly Aird can all be pleased with their performances. I have seen Holly in a fair few ITV drama's over recent years such as Torn, and I rate her very highly as an actress. It's these qualities from someone like her that helped to hold Monday Monday together.

I really really liked Monday Monday. I was surprised it was not some cheesy, poor scripted, poor acting show given the rather strange title that I'm not at all sure what it means, if it does have a meaning in reference to the show. I guess in a way Monday Monday reminded me a bit of the movie Bridget Jones Diary combined with The Office, kind of the same British humor. I am from the States and really enjoy watching British, French, and other foreign TV series and movies.

I really felt this show had a very good, well-rounded cast of characters and I especially loved the "2 Karen's" - they did very well acting their parts and were pretty funny, IMO!! And of course Tom Ellis has become a favorite of mine since Rush started airing on USA Network here in America - had no clue he was British! It always amazes me how British, or other foreign actors, do away with their accent when acting in an American show. Like Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohen of The Walking Dead show, how they talk 'southern' on that show and you cannot hear a lick of the British accent. I always listen real good to see if I can hear it now and again, but I seldom do. Anyway, whatever. Oh, and Fay Ripley is probably, in my opinion, the funniest of all the cast playing the head of HR and a drunk and someone who lacks smarts! I really liked her character a lot and thought she did a great job playing the part!!

As far as Monday Monday goes, do yourself a favor and give it a watch. I actually found season 1, the only season so far,on the Viewster channel on my Roku box. But I just googled it and all 7 episodes of season 1 are on youtube.com as well. Enjoy!!

Why was there only one series? Great collection of characters with a funny, sharp script.

They want their lazy tired jokes back.. no seriously there could be some good points to this, I have only seen 4 episodes but so far it is pretty lazy and dated:

• the fat jokes, I mean who would want to even HAVE LUNCH with the fat guy?
• short woman and the tall woman, well they must be freaks right? (It's funny to see the crap roles that Miranda Hart and are given? See them in Call the Midwife to see how well they do with fantastic roles in a fantastically written series. )
• oh my god the large woman in the bakery as the horror of a spinsterhood awaiting for the main character!
• a couple of cougars messing things up for our princess. How desperate. Don't they know they should get out of the way both romantically and professionally?

Drunken twenty somethings desperate for someone to love them isn't actually that interesting. Was this written by similar people with no self awareness as to how boring that is? I mean we could have some empathy for their plight (rather than see them as heroic) and that would make this show interesting...but we shall see....

I really enjoyed Monday Monday . Nice change no nudity or cussing just a light fun comedy with normal people a good watch.
