THE UK'S ANSWER TO CALIFORNICATION
By hunkydomste (48 reviews) from Liverpool , 17 Nov 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
Mutual Friends is another of those programmes that completely passed me by on telly. How did that happen? As soon as I saw it advertised I thought, Alexander Armstrong? Keeley Hawes? Sarah Alexander? Brilliant! Luckily this is a series that delivers and does not just line up the names.
Marc Warren plays Martin, a bit of a loser, a wet blanket, who has two best friends. For the first 3 minutes of episode 1 that is, as one of his best friends commits suicide. That one also happened to have a bit of an affair with Martin's wife, played by the brilliant Keely Hawes. So Martin is left with his other best friend, Patrick, portrayed as a hopeless womaniser by an equally superb Alexander Armstrong. Patrick could give David Duchovny's Hank Moody a good run for his money, both appear to be self-centred and care-free when really they still love the one that got away.
There are other friends and characters around as well, from Leigh, the pretty bonkers widow, to Martin's boss, Sarah, a cold sly candidate and a surprising turn for My Hero's Emily Joyce. The cast describe the style of the series as 'Dromedy' (Drama/Comedy to you and me) and the feel is very similar to Californication- laugh out loud scenes sit comfortably with emotional moments. Think Coupling on a bigger scale with less slapstick.
Quirky, cringey, funny and warm- this is the BBC at its best.
