Am I Missing Something?

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

It is really refreshing, after two crap TV show marathons, to watch something so amazing.I had never heard anything about the books or this show until I started seeing posts on my Tumblr dash nearly daily and decided to give it a go.I'm beyond glad that I did.It has both dark, heavy scenes and funny, light scenes throughout a beautifully written series.The cast is brilliant but both Sharon Rooney (Rae) and Claire Rushbrook (Rae's mother) are, for me, the scene stealers of the show. Their relationship, although turbulent at most times, I think reflect that of an average everyday family.What I like most about this show is it's realness, it's humanity. It's not showy or over the top and it's deals with real issues in a sensitive and honest way.I could not recommend this show enough, I have already watched Series 1 twice.Please note that this show deals with suicide, self-harm and mental issues so if any of this affects you, I would advise caution in making your decision on watching this.

This show is top notch AMAZING. I cannot wait to find out if there will be a series 3. If not I may cry. This show perfectly describes troubling problems that Rae goes through. It also addresses many problems other teens go through. If your trying to decide to watch it I'm telling you WATCH IT! ~mild spoiler alert~ I think eve though Finn wasn't in the original Rae Earl diaries he fits perfectly in, and helps Rae a lot. I just hope they end up together, and Rae can get over thinking she can't be with Finn because of her body. This show hits close to home with me only making me love it more. I really hope the continue with the show. For many years to come.

Things I love about this show:1. Addresses key issues facing teens (and anybody really)without being overly sentimental, or sensational, which is a problem that a lot of "high school" shows contain. Skins was too crazy for me. This is better by far. 2. The title character is atypical for a female lead. She's an excellent actress, and isn't a porcelain doll like all of the other shows you see. 3. Relate able and realistic. 4. Amazing soundtrack. 5. The title character's love interest doesn't base his attraction on physical appearance alone, and you can tell he genuinely loves her.It's really a must-watch.

I first found this show after seeing a gif set on Tumblr and immediately feel in love. As soon as I saw the gif set I knew I had find out more. I started watching it immediately and did not stop till I had watched every episode to date! The acting is so amazing and Sharon Rooney is perfect as Rae. This show is funny and witty but still powerful and emotional. This show feels so real: real people and real problems. I can't get enough of this show! It has amazing and clever writing that this show can be enjoyed by not just teens. The only thing I don't like is there isn't enough episodes. I would advise anyone and everyone to watch this show. You won't be disappointed!
