Trying

This started as a lovely quirky comedy about a couple 'trying' to become parents. The first three series were generally filled with a good mix of belly laughs and an occasional tear. Light, fun, moving in equal parts. But the fourth series is almost unwatchable. Trying far too hard to be funny. Developing stories for characters that lack any warmth or connection to the viewer. For a series that was meant to be about the struggles of parenthood, there is not a great deal of struggling. It seems the best 6 years have been missed out of the parenting loop... and belly laughs have turned to embarrassing groans. What a shame... trying too hard!

Apple did a great job with this one. The actors, all of them are great and have such funny on-screen connections.

Don't listen to the rare negativity about the inaccuracies of how adoptions methods are. They took a very emotional and touching subject and made a great entertaining series of the ups and downs, stresses and joys. It's entertainment and we were very entertained with laughs and my wife had some tears lol. You'll enjoy it.

Only possible down side is I noticed the dates are 2020-2020. Looks like this may be it. Which would be a shame. Something this good should get more seasons.

I'm loving this series as of now. Currently on episode 4. I really hope there'll be season 2. Apple TV is producing great shows. My top 3 are The morning show, Mythic Quest & Trying.

Keep up the good work!

We've been through the adoption process and this bought back so many memories. It takes you through every emotion we felt and I so well acted. If I could have given this higher than 10 I would have!

A lovely cast of interesting characters who immediately catch your interest. The office colleague being the highlighted. She was under used and could have definitely added more.

The storyline was a little predictable but the acting quality managed to keep the story going and keep your interest. I really believed in the two main characters and all the characters surrounding them so no matter what the story did I could follow it and buy into it.

The story has its ups and its downs and it's funny and it's serious. The cliche emotional rollercoaster applies to this program. The true test being near the end when you really start to feel for the characters and the emotion it generates.

This is a high-quality TV series that is filmed well and is very entertaining. I enjoyed it very much I look forward to a second series which will hopefully come soon. Recommended viewing 👍
