Heart warming series about a neigh good delving into many themes with surprising depth: parenthood, neighbourhoods, living just slightly above poverty line, strong friendships, puppy and old love, studying for exams, student movements, coping with constant daily stresses, ending with empty nests, and even menopause and retirement. If only it could cut back on the many many puppy love refrains, and expands more on the other more thought provoking themes, it would have been a five-star for me. One very odd device is the supposed making of a documentary featuring two of the leads in their 40โs. This is littered over some but not all episodes, adds nothing to the drama. Using voice over from multiple leads also serves to dilute rather than augment the viewing experience. Otherwise a genuinely enjoyable show - full of laughs and tears.
